Gone North Games have added Linux support to their first person platformer A Story About My Uncle, that was originally released in 2014.

Originally console exclusives, this pair of older action titles from the developer of Salt and Sanctuary have been ported by the ever-prolific Ethan Lee. The Linux version has been launched simultaneously with all other platforms on Steam.

With it’s very unsubtle and unambiguous nods and stylistic references to both classic Castlevanias and metrodvanias, this game has tickled my fancy.

I absolutely adored Broforce after completing it, so I'm really happy that Hot Guns supports Linux as it does remind me of it. The game released recently without much fanfare, which is a shame as it's great.

Want a chance to be the villain? Wish granted! Nefarious, an action platform about kidnapping princesses has a Linux version and it's not bad.

A Story About My Uncle showed signs of coming to Linux back in 2015, but never did. Fresh activity on SteamDB shows signs that it might finally be coming.

Orangepixel's latest game 'Meganoid' is a platformer with randomly generated levels. I tried it out and here's some thoughts.

I knew Hollow Knight was going to be impressive when going into it, but I didn't realize how impressive it was.

The developers of the beautiful action platformer Rise & Shine have posted on Steam to note that the Linux version is ready, it's just waiting on final approval from the publisher.

La-Mulana, the free roaming exploration platformer has had a Linux version since early last year on Steam, but now GOG have it too.

Yooka-Laylee, the 3D platformer from Playtonic Games has been released with day-1 Linux support, here's some initial thoughts.

The fun and charming platform inspired by 8-bit era visuals has gotten a shiny new campaign. This isn’t the only major addition and there’s plenty other new content available to enjoy.

Manipulated is a short puzzle-platformer that warns you about having to think. It's certainly not wrong.

Virtual Programming have release their latest Linux port with 'Putty Squad'. It's a remake of the 1994 platformer that shares the same name, but the updated release has crispier high resolution visuals. VP provided me a copy last night, so here's some thoughts.

We certainly aren't short on action platformers, but Nongünz looks like it could easily stand out with the unique visual style.

The latest game from Orangepixel, Meganoid, will launch soon with day-1 Linux support and I have to say for a platform it looks really damn good.

Sumoman is a brand new and rather hilarious puzzle platformer powered by the UNIGINE engine. It released with day-1 Linux support and I took a look. There's also a video of my failures included.

Hollow Knight, an incredibly stylish action and adventure game recently launched for Windows, but it seems Linux gamers won't be left waiting for too long.

Sumoman is confirmed to be coming to Linux and after watching the trailer I'm officially sold on it. We do have a great variety of platformers, but the physics at play here looks hilarious.

I've spent a bit of time flailing about in VThree, a new Early Access run and jump game based on speed-running to the end of a level. It's fun, but difficult.
