The first expansion to the popular strategy game has several interesting new mechanics and additions. Now that it’s also out for Linux, I’ve had the time to give it a proper look.

I’ve had some time to play through this tactical RPG and experience the story and its mechanics in full. Here are my thoughts.

I am, sadly, a Brogue addict. It’s true. This game got its hooks into me and refused to let go. This is my confession.

The latest immersion pack, or small piece of thematic DLC, has been released for the massive grand strategy title. I got to try my hand at ruling the British Isles and have a few thoughts to share.

For those searching for a bit of poetry in their games, Kingdom Ka from Carrot Cake Studios may satisfy that craving.

All Our Asias is the most recent offering from Sean Han Tani, the developer of Anodyne. The game is a mix of narrative exploration (so-called “walking simulators”) and visual novel styles, although it does not offer branching paths or multiple endings.

The latest DLC for Paradox Development Studios’ WW2 grand strategy title is very ambitious. The accompanying patch, available to all, shakes things up quite a bit and I’ve had a chance to play around with it all before launch.

Way of the Passive Fist is not the type of brawler I expected it to be, but it’s still a very fun experience.

I recently took a look at the psychological horror Rise of Insanity and after finishing it, I've been left rather underwhelmed.

Man O’ War: Corsair – Warhammer Naval Battles is, as you might guess, a game about living the life of a privateer in the Warhammer fantasy world. It has all the fixings you might expect as well: you can raid, board vessels, buy and sell goods in ports and manage a crew and ship. On paper, it’s the sort of game I’d go wild over. The reality is altogether different.

Vaporum, a steampunk dungeon crawler from Fatbot Games has been officially released for Linux, available from both GOG and Steam. I've spent some time with it now and here's some thoughts.

Crossing Souls, from Fourattic and Devolver Digital is an action-adventure love letter to the 80's and it's pretty good overall.

If you took Asteroids, gave it a retro text-terminal menu along with a huge skill tree and some slick music what do you get? BYTEPATH.

Last month, ERSATZ, the speed focused hardcore action-platformer with a musical twist added Linux support and since I love a good beat I gave it a go. Here's some thoughts.

Proudly showing off its Game Boy aesthetics and high level of difficulty, Madcap Castle seeks to fill its own niche. I gave the game a whirl and have a few thoughts to share.

Stellaris: Apocalypse, the latest expansion for the grand space strategy game from Paradox Development Studio is out. The big 2.0 'Cherryh' patch is also now available.

We Were Here Too is a very interesting puzzle game, one where you and a friend team up and walk through different rooms and solve puzzles together using your walkie-talkies.

What would happen if we discovered the existence of alien life? A question I've often asked and a question many games, films and books have covered in great detail. The Station is a sci-fi mystery that sees you investigate The Espial, a space station sent to research a sentient alien civilization.

If you're the sort that laughs at a steep difficulty-curve and you enjoy the challenge of keeping a spaceship operational, Deep Sixed may just be for you.

The Fall Part 2: Unbound is the long-awaited follow-on from Over The Moon's previous story-based adventure and puzzle game The Fall.
