Starsector (formerly "Starfarer") is a game that I've followed for quite a few years now, one I personally purchased many years ago and the latest release is a big one.

TaleWorlds Entertainment are continuing to support Mount & Blade: Warband, with a new beta that offers up 64bit support for Linux.

Minecraft continues turning into a bigger and more interesting game with each new release and it seems that will be massively true for the 1.14 'Village & Pillage' update which sounds huge.

Inspired by the likes of Pokemon or Final Fantasy, the open-world RPG Unleashed has officially launched with Linux support.

Vintage Story is a beautiful survival game that started as an idea for a mod for Minecraft, based on the popular modpack, Terra Firma Craft. It is developed by Anego Studios.

Unleashed, a 2D open-world sandbox RPG that was funded on Kickstarter is looking pretty good and it's releasing soon with Linux support.

For those awaiting the Linux version of Compulsion Games' We Happy Few, the rather strange action/adventure game set in a drug-fuelled, retrofuturistic city in an alternative 1960s England we have an update for you.

SCUM, an open world survival game from developer Gamepires (produced by Croteam and published by Devolver Digital) is shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases this year and it seems Linux is in their plans.

I absolutely love games that let me build something, drive around and blow stuff up so I've been enjoying my time with TerraTech which is now out.

Hello and welcome to my first article on GOL. Today I will talk about a game I played on Android and eventually on Linux called Exile Kingdoms. I first played this game on a tablet, under circumstances I have honestly forgotten, but it left an impression. I decided to pick it up on Steam to relive the experience on a more comfortable platform.

In the mood to try a new survival game? How about one that's free while it's in the alpha stages? Valheim seems pretty interesting.

This might seem a bit like Déjà vu since I only wrote about Voxel Turf recently! It has another update today and this is quite an exciting one.

Minecraft's rather large 'Update Aquatic' content update came out recently and it came with their fancy new launcher, getting it on Linux and keeping it up to date is now a snap.

Voxel Turf, the urban block-based sandbox game was updated recently, giving you even more options to have a fun time.

As a further update on Stranded Deep for Linux, the developer has now officially announced it although support is currently limited.

Minecraft's Update Aquatic is a huge update to the sandbox builder that's now out, it also brings the new launcher officially to Linux.

Fancy a bit of local co-op action in an open world with a zombie apocalypse setting? Don't Bite Me Bro! is free.

Streets of Rogue is a hard game to describe, apart from being completely hilarious it pulls in rogue-lite elements, some RPG mechanics along with a sort-of open world approach to the level design making it very interesting.

Project 5: Sightseer had me utterly hooked at the start, but after a while it fell a bit flat. Seems the developer really was hard at work to improve it dramatically as this latest update shows.

Open world RPGs is something Linux has quite a big lack of, so the steampunk-inspired RPG Gyre: Nova State would be a welcome addition.
