Need a new game? Here's one I can recommend without hesitation - Brigador: Up-Armored Deluxe and it's free to claim and keep for 72 hours.
Brigador is a game I've sunk a great many hours into, and I've written a few words here and there before about just how entertaining it is. An isometric rogue-lite with seriously intense combat, and plenty of fancy destruction as you can annihilate an entire city with your big mech or tank with customizable loadouts it's so much fun to blast through. Getting it free really is an absolute steal you shouldn't pass up.

Find the giveaway up on GOG.com, which is live until December 25 - 2PM UTC. Look for the big banner on GOG home page. The developer (Stellar Jockeys, Gausswerks) is also working on the next game in the series with Brigador Killers.
Why the giveaway? Well, that's because the GOG Winter Sale is still going on until January 4 and there's of course lots of juicy Linux games on sale. To save you an extra click, here's the essentials we recommended last time:
- Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - 85% off
- Invisible Inc. - 75% off
- Streets of Rogue - 71% off
- Slime Rancher - 70% off
- Into the Breach - 50% off
In related GOG news they now have the classics Heretic and HeXen up. While they only have Windows builds sorted, you can play some them with various open source game engines like GZDoom.

I don't blame anyone who wants to avoid being on their promotional spam list, but if you want to buy from them, you can't really avoid it, and they do offer DRM free downloads. Unfortunately, they don't have a Linux version of their management software, Galaxy.

I'd look around for other games if I didn't have to open a link for every single one to find out the genre and, more specifically, the release date.

Quoting: GuestHeXen 2 is too "modern" as it runs via .exe [also there is no .WAD file anyway so yeah] so for that one you have to use WINE.

Quoting: notinuseStrange, when I click on the Gog page banner, it forwards to the "On sale" game page. If I search for Brigador, I get a result of $8.99. I must be doing something wrong, although I've had no problem in the past with free Gog games.
I clicked on the countdown too first.
You have to scroll down on the main page then there is a link to claim Brigador.

Brigador is amazing.
Sadly I have those others games, but now I need to scratch that Brigador itch again.
