Despite this feeling like the longest year ever, time continues moving on and there's been a number of great games released with Linux support in the last few months.
It's time to slow down a bit, and take a look at what developers have been bringing their games over to Linux officially because it's easy to get swallowed up in a sea of news. This will also serve as a nice starting point for anyone out for a new Linux game right now. Since this is a reminder listicle, we will link to previous articles.

I was expecting CARRION to be in that list but maybe it is a tad too old ? You seemed to really like that game, Liam. I bought it on the recent sale and it is fun.Hey, that is indeed a fantastic choice of game but I purposefully kept this list to the very-recent.

Still waiting for the Linux releases of Vaporum: Lockdown and Blashpemous on GOG.
I'm not confident about the second one though... Liam could you ask The Game Kitchen about it?

All rendering problems of Amnesia is solved by patch 1.0.4 for me on Mesa/AMD already. I also had to put this into the command:

Do let us know if you're able to complete the game. My biggest fear* is a game breaking bug at the end of the game, fixed by a patch that breaks all previous saves.

Serious Sam 4.
Oh wait, even Croteam who released the first Steam game for Linux, Serious Sam 3, is dropping Linux support now.
As you can tell, I'm not at all salty about it or concerned about the decline of gaming on my OS. :D
As much as the disappearance of Serious Sam 4 from the immediate native Linux gaming arsenal is an annoyance - I'm not annoyed by the fact that games like Ion Fury and Prodeus (due out very soon) continue to take up the slack. I'm seriously looking forward to Prodeus (next month).

Added Petal Crash because it was a genuine delight and deserved to be in.
