This is pretty close to a miracle when we see how many indie and crowdfunded titles who end up failing to support Linux, even later in their releases. In many cases, developing and releasing first for EGS means that the game is much less likely to get a Linux port but thankfully Easy Trigger has proven to be an exception. While I attempt to be understanding how such a Faustian bargain is difficult to resist for indie developers (I have no compassion for AA/AAA who take the same deal while crying poor despite operating as a megacorp), such exclusivity harms PC gaming as a whole and especially Linux gaming as EGS seemingly purposefully does not support Linux - even when selling games that already have Linux builds when they were released on Steam (Slime Rancher is a good example)! I almost overlooked this title thanks to Huntdown being for a time (1 year!) exclusive to the Epic Games Store. I was lucky enough to win a copy of the game from one of the partnered streamers during the release event! The game itself seems very, very well put together on all levels, from the artwork and style to gameplay mechanics it creates a hectic, thriving shooter imbued with 80s/90s sci-fi action! I look forward to continue showcasing it to others both on Windows and more importantly, on Linux!

You just can't help but smile and maniacally laugh as you blast your way through it. Not just because I grew up with similarly styled games but HUNTDOWN is close to perfection.
