Today I took a look at 'Asura' a brand new hack 'n' slash title that's inspired by Indian mythology.

ONRAID is a self-proclaimed “challenging 2D shooter” that is heavy on the multiplayer component despite having a lot that you can do by yourself. It’s recently gone free-to-play so I gave it a look to see if it was any good.

Crawl is a local multiplayer dungeon crawler, where your friends can control the monsters and it's actually pretty good.

Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition is another revamp of an old classic given new life by Beamdog, a game where death is not the end. You will end up becoming friends with death and get to know it rather well.

Classic first-person shooters are without question my favourite video game genre, and it would be nice to be able to sit down and play more Indie games that can satisfy both my classic FPS craving while at the same time pushing the genre forward. Ziggurat attempts to do both, and it wins my respect for that.

Quern - Undying Thoughts, a first-person puzzler inspired by the likes of Myst and Riven has been released on GOG and they have a Linux build too.

Shroud of the Avatar, the RPG that has single-player and selective online modes has a big new release out. You can also try it for free for a few days to see if you want to buy it. I tried it again and have some thoughts for you.

The Great Whale Road, a game with turn-based tactical battles and RPG elements where you build up a settlement has released. I took a look to see if I could be a good jarl.

Stellaris: Utopia is the big content expansion I have been longing for, but is it worth picking up? I take a look at what the game feels like now.

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

Feral Fury is a twin-stick shooter with an overall dark feel to it. I've played it for a while and I've grown to really enjoy it, even if it's a little punishing.

Beat Cop, a retro styled adventure game taking inspiration from old cop shows has arrived on Linux, but is it as good as it looks?

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.

I finally set aside some time to play the supernatural thriller Oxenfree and it's surprisingly good. It's a narrative-driven game, so each choice you make changes the conversations and the flow of the game.

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.

When it comes to FPS games based on realism, Linux is in shortly supply. Day of Infamy is another game that, for me, has closed a gap I needed.

Tiles is a simple looking action-puzzle game with 90 levels of ever-increasing difficulty and it's now out for Linux.

88 Heroes is an action platformer from developer Bitmap Bureau that's actually surprisingly great. The hook is that each hero has a totally different attack.

The Swindle has a beta Linux client! Even better, it appears to have been well tested since its initial launch back in August 2015 and the most recent feedback is all extremely positive. Here's a short review!

I've spent some time playing the strategy game 'Codex of Victory' now it's fully released and it's quite surprising.
