Category: New Release

If you don't hear from me much over this week (or for the rest of this month), it's because I'm dedicating my time to playing GNOMES. A new tower defense roguelike hybrid from developer DYSTOPIAN with ever-expanding biomes to battle through.

Clonizer is a fresh tactical roguelike deck-builder about making and managing clones, and attempting to colonize and take over the universe. It's just launched with Native Linux support.

Spin Rhythm XD is a homage to classic arcade rhythm games (Guitar Hero, DDR), with a modern aesthetic and soundtrack. Earlier in April they also put up an official Native Linux version with Steam Deck support.

Out now and exclusive to the GOG store, Croc Legend of the Gobbos returns with a Remaster from Argonaut Games, bringing the classic back with many modern enhancements.

DXVK is a Vulkan-based implementation of Direct3D 8, 9, 10 and 11. It's part of what Proton uses to make Windows games run so well on Linux platforms including the SteamOS based Steam Deck. DXVK 2.6.1 is now available fixing up some big issues.

Some evil Witch has kidnapped the Queen's children. As the Royal Wizard, it's up to your to rescue them. The only problem is that the Queen is a bit brutal, and has cut you in half. You're a Wizard though, so apparently being cut in half is no big deal.

If you prefer your games a bit cosier and sweeter perhaps Iron Village might be your next one to pick up. Especially if you like building and management sims.

In a nice win for open source, NVIDIA have now provided the PhysX and Flow GPU source code to expand what developers can do with it.

Originally called Haste: Broken Worlds and now just Haste, it's the latest game from Landfall (Content Warning, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Clustertruck) that ensures you gotta go fast.

Like your RPGs a little on the weird side? Oddventure from developer Infamous Rabbit that's inspired by and blending a little Alice in Wonderland and EarthBound has finally entered Early Access.

Mesa 25.0.3 has arrived as the latest bug-fix release for open source Linux graphics drivers, bringing a bunch of fixes across different drivers and some game fixes are included too.

Available now in Early Access on Steam, Wildkeepers Rising is one of the latest to attempt to put a new spin on the popularity of whatever genre we're calling things like Vampire Survivors today.

Spilled! is a thoroughly relaxing cute gem about driving a little boat and cleaning up the ocean, to bring life back to the planet.

One classic point and click adventure game fans have been excited about has arrive. Rosewater, a Western adventure in the alternate 19th century world of Lamplight City from Grundislav Games and Application Systems Heidelberg is out now with Native Linux support.

It may not be the most popular strategy game from Paradox Interactive and Paradox Development Studios, but they're still expanding it. Victoria 3 is getting a major expansion in June, with the Victoria 3: Expansion Pass 2 on Steam now.

The community maintained compatibility layer for Windows games on Linux / Steam Deck, GE-Proton version 9-27 is out now with numerous fixes.

Mini Royale from IndigoBlue is out now in Early Access and free to play, with Native Linux support and Easy Anti-Cheat enabled.

I'll admit I'm pretty uncultured apparently as seeing the release of ENA: Dream BBQ today led me down a bit of a rabbit hole about the ENA animated series.

Love classic RPGs? You might want to check out the newly released Geo Mythica, with some great looking 8-bit styled artwork and a quite unique sounding party-based combat system.

The Beekeeper's Picnic - A Sherlockian Adventure from Afoot Games looks like a wonderful casual point and click adventure for you to relax with. Out now with Native Linux support and it even has proper voice acting too, seems like a quality game worth your time.
