I recommend Bear Party: Adventure, a free short game on Source engine.

I started playing Iratus, and I had sort of liked the other game like it (of which the name currently eludes me) but that other game seemed to have a bit more flavor to it? Iratus is almost exactly the same, except you play the villain, and instead of hiring adventurers that inevitably die, you just create new creatures from body parts you collect from slain enemies. So it doesn't seem as heart wrenching when you lose someone. Maybe that is just me though.
If you liked the other game though, you will probably like Iratus.

Beyond Blue is due in June for World Oceans Week, and while Spiritfarer and Book of Travels don't have definite dates I can't imagine either being all that much behind it.
And don't forget that Imposter Factory and Chained Echoes are both due by the end of the year as well.

What about Metro Exodus or cuphead or Darksiders Genesis or any more Feral ports?

Is Cuphead supposed to be heading to Linux? I don't think I've heard anything about that, except for the Linux version made for Tesla cars.

Not sure why either were mentioned, neither have been said to be coming.
As for Feral ports, they appear to have transitioned quite a bit over to mobile and switch. Both Linux and macOS don't seem to be as big a focus for them recently. I still expect GRID is from them and we have Total War SAGA Troy confirmed by them.

I sort of wondered (feared) that most of their Linux releases were always because it was fairly straight forward to do a macOS release alongside development of a Linux one. But with Apple making the platforms more different than they should be, it is no longer the case, and with out the Apple ports, they don't work on the Linux ones either?Cuphead? No. Darksiders Genesis? No.What about Metro Exodus or cuphead or Darksiders Genesis or any more Feral ports?

To be fair though, the Switch IS Linux, just not x86... would be sad if we lost Feral, but clearly they need to go where the money is at.

We sure about that? I always thought it was based on nvidia's tegra X1 chip, and directly used Linux. Was not aware FreeBSD had tegra support. Though I guess that makes sense, as the binary is very similar across all three (Windows, Linux, BSD).
