ARK: Survival Evolved is doing the rounds right now, and for good reason. It's an Unreal Engine 4 powered survival game with RPG elements and dinosaurs.
About the game (Official)
As a man or woman stranded naked, freezing and starving on the shores of a mysterious island called ARK, you must hunt, harvest resources, craft items, grow crops, research technologies, and build shelters to withstand the elements. Use your cunning and resources to kill or tame the leviathan dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the land, and team up with or prey on hundreds of other players to survive, dominate... and escape!
The game will release into Early Access in June, and it looks simply fantastic. This could be the game that actually gets me into the genre, and nothing has since Don't Starve. A lot of the problems have been Unity performance, and a distinct lack of fun in games like Rust, and ARK looks like it will solve both problems for me.
We all know graphics don't make a game, but the gameplay itself looks like it could be pretty adrenaline fuelled with massive dinosaurs ripping through gates. The scenes in that trailer are fantastic too.
The developers sound like they know how to please me as well, with full gamepad support, and motion blur that can be turned off.
You can find ARK: Survival Evolved on Steam right now, but the saddest part is even though it lists Linux specifications on the store, we will not see an Early Access release.
Update! It seems a developer got it wrong, and we will see it during Early Access!

QuoteWell to be clear Jat, Mac and Linux will be for Early Access, just not Day 1. In fact we plan to ship Linux and Mac before the end of June within 3-4 weeks of EA launch. We have them running, they just need a little more focus time ;-)Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I think Early Access *can* be a good thing, is like back a game on Kickstarter and have the chance to "try it out" along the development process. But most people who complain don't understand that. If the game is playable, relatively stable, and have responsive and active devs, it worth to get an Early Access if you like the genre and see potential. But I agree it isn't for everyone, and in my case, I have to be *really* interested in the game to buy it.
Just to enlist some games that I have and consider successful active Early Access:
- Interstellar Marines,
- 7 Days to Die,
- Planet Explorers,]
- Starbound
- Verdun was released recently

It seems Early access for Linux might be a possibility from what the devs wrote in this thread:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/613957600545604522
One developer first claimed that it won't be for Linux early access, but then another developer corrected him and said that Linux will see early access just not day 1 of early access (but before the end of june)

I wish they remove the glossiness on the skin. Models looks "plasticky" with it.
