Flamberge is a tactical RPG with simultaneous turns that draws inspiration from games like Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics, and was funded on Kickstarter last year.

Parcel was released in Early Access on Steam last week. It's a bit rough around the edges, but it has a lot of content, interesting mechanics, and is one you should keep an eye on if you're a fan of story-focused puzzlers.

PC Gamer has a bit of a world exclusive, they managed to get the Killing Floor 2 developers in to play with them, and we have the video for you.

Plague Inc: Evolved is a unique mix of high strategy and terrifyingly realistic simulation. Your pathogen has just infected 'Patient Zero' - now you must bring about the end of human history by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself.

Ever thought about recording your thoughts and memories into a computer to relive the happiest moments of your life again and again and again? Well, here we have a game in which we can explore what might happen if such technology was available to us. Let's go see what Soul Axiom has in store for us!

Airships is a very interesting indie game that has just released on Steam for Linux, and it’s already impressing me. You are tasked with designing a steampunk airship, and taking over AI kingdoms.

What was once going to be an MMORPG, is now a sandbox RPG in a procedurally generated world with cross-platform multiplayer. Windward is now available on Steam and is set to launch Q2 2015 on Windows, Mac, and Linux. As a personal fan of anything Pirate related, I cannot wait for this game to arrive. I've been waiting ages for a Pirates! style game.

Victor Vran is a promising RPG in Early Access from the developers of the Tropico games. We have it confirmed from a developer that the game will be on Linux too.

Don't Starve Together is now in Open Beta. Don't Starve is a wilderness survival game and this standalone expansion adds new content as well as multiplayer.

Interstellar Marines is quickly becoming one of my and Samsai's favourite FPS games, and even in this early stage it's pretty good.

Linux is highly lacking in decent 3D RPG games, and let's not even get into the near drought of MMORPG games, but Shroud Of The Avatar looks like it could fill the gap eventually. The reason we say eventually, is that the game is in Early Access, and they consider it pre-alpha.

Rust from Facepunch Studios (notable for Garry's Mod) should once again work on Linux thanks to some more Unity engine updates, I've tested it and it works for me.

From the Depths is a game we completely missed covering! Sadly, Steam still doesn't show games that are new for Linux if the Linux build comes later in the development cycle sometimes, so we are fixing this by covering it now!

Reassembly is easily one of our favourite games for a fantastic mix of good music, an extremely simple spaceship editor and fun combat. The developer has released a big update, and the game has grown rather a lot in a short space of time.

Storm United is a beautiful FPS game running on the Unreal Engine that will have full Linux support, and they have shown off their first real game-play video.

Invisible, Inc. is the new game from Klei Entertainment (think Don't Starve) that has been in early access for a while without Linux support. Today they released an update with news of our much anticipated Linux support! UPDATED

OBEY is one of the more unique games I have been sent to take a look at recently, and it really does look like a lot of fun.

Last week saw the release of The Mims: Beginning, a god game with strategy elements, on Steam. It's an early access title that's been in development for a while and was successfully funded by an Indiegogo campaign.

This is a game that flew under the radar a little bit since its Linux launch a couple of months ago. Son of Nor is an action adventure title set amidst rolling dunes, temples and oases. Challenging collectibles, environmental puzzles and four player coop are just some of the game's highlights.

Ride your music. Use your own music to create your own experience on a roller-coaster-like track. The shape, the speed, and the mood of each ride is determined by the song you choose. We take a look at the new Linux release.
