Fallen: A2P Protocol is a pretty good looking turn based strategy currently in Early Access, and I have been graced with a key to take a look at it.

The early access racer Coffin Dodgers has been updated and now has Linux support. As far as premises go, this one is one of the more original ones I've seen in a while.

Storm United is a new first person shooter built in Unreal Engine that looks absolutely stunning. The developers have just released the game into early access, and we have some keys to help boost the player count.

It’s no secret that we really like Interstellar Marines, but it could do with more content and online modes to keep people interested in it. It may even be updated next week.

Nightside is one of my current favourites on Steam, and not just because it's a traditional RTS game, but because it just looks so damn cool.

Captain Forever Remix is a little favourite of mine, and it's now even better with a bunch of extra content. If you haven't picked it up yet you really should.

Tripwire have announced that Killing Floor 2 will be released on the 21st of April into Early Access, but we have it confirmed Linux is not in the initial release.

Roguelites seem to be pretty abundant these days. If you check Steam, Desura or pretty much any online game store, you will find tons and tons of games that advertise themselves as roguelites. Delver is one too but, unlike many others, it's actually surprisingly close to the original Rogue.

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.
