Core Keeper is a lovely cozy underground mining adventure game from developer Pugstorm, that impressed me a lot during Early Access and now it's hit the big 1.0. It has Native Linux support and is Steam Deck Verified!
Popular too with it hitting over 2 million sales during Early Access. Playable alone or in co-op, it's a total delight. If you enjoy games like Terraria, you'll probably like this one quite a lot too.
Explore diverse biomes, level up your skills, encounter the Cavelings, and defeat legendary Titans to unveil the power of the Core. Grow your garden, fish in mysterious waters, master recipes, hatch pets, drive vehicles, fight rival explorers in online PvP, and carve out your own unique adventure alone or with friends in an enchanting sandbox adventure.

From the press release: “After an incredible time in Early Access, we are thrilled to bring Core Keeper to console and launch into 1.0 today,” said Fredrik Präntare, Chief Executive Officer & Game Director at Pugstorm. “We have been overjoyed to see all the love and support players have shown for the game over the last couple of years, with over 2 million players already. We can’t wait for new players to begin their underground adventure today, and to continue this experience alongside them.”
As for what's new in the 1.0 release? Well, a lot actually. The Steam release notes are long including new bosses, new world generation, new combat play-styles, optional PvP, lots of new equipment to find, new weapons and the list goes on.
You can buy it now on Steam. While GOG only have the Windows version.
Quoting: KlaasI'm not happy that the Linux version is not on GOG, again.
I'm pretty disappointed myself.
It seems to be something of a trend for games coming over to GOG to leave the Linux version behind, either with patches or just not having it at all. Is there a reason this seems to keep happening?
Quoting: ReyoldIs there a reason this seems to keep happening?Yes, most releases are just the Steam version with GOG's Steam crack applied – that's what GOG recommends instead of a proper DRM-free release.. That crack has no Linux version.

Is there a place to read something about this, maybe even on GoG?
