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.

Hard West is a hard game to recommend to anyone unwilling to subject themselves to a trial by fire. If it were a horse I would say that it tried to buck me at every possible opportunity. It almost succeeded too.

Oh boy, this review has been in the works for ages now but I decided that it’s better late than never and I’ve finally compiled my thoughts on Black Mesa, the fan remake of Half-Life. So, let’s check it out!

Polyball is quite a weird game to describe really, as you're just controlling a ball and racing along platforms across various levels. That doesn't sound like much, but it's actually pretty fun.

GOL contributor SangreDeReptil wrote about City Climber coming to Linux last year and now this silly physics-based climbing game has a Linux release. I checked it out!

Leaving Lyndow is a short and beautiful looking adventure game that came to Linux due to 'popular demand'. The developer sent in a copy, so I played through it and here's some thoughts.

Strife: Quest for the Sigil was both a critical and commercial disappointment for Rogue Entertainment in 1996, and the source code to the game was mislaid by its developers. Years later work begin on reverse engineering Strife using the released Doom code. Night Dive Studios would later use this community project to craft The Original Strife: Veteran Edition.

I was gifted a copy of Blueprint Tycoon by a GOL follower a little while ago, so it's about time I took a proper look at it.

Hidden Folk is a hand-drawn interactive 'find the character' game. Think of it like an animated 'where's wally' (that's Waldo to you Americans).

With all the games we have on Linux now, let’s not forget some of the defining classics like Half-Life 2 which I have finally finished.

A smaller article about the new RPG Torment: Tides of Numenera after spending a little time with it to make sure it works, he's a little report.

Heroes of Arca was emailed in by the developer, an somewhat interesting looking turn-based strategy with RPG elements that claims to have an 'unorthodox combat system'.

Realpolitiks is a new real-time (with pausing) grand strategy game from Jujubee S.A. and I was sent a key to be able to take a look.

If you need to know something about me, it's that I usually hate visual novels with a passion. They thrust boobs and other bits in your face constantly, but Angels with Scaly Wings is different and it's quite interesting too.

Today I tried to play Wells, a new steampunk run and gun action game, but sadly the experience wasn't great.

Thanks to the developer for sending in a key, I've had a chance to put some time into Bleed 2. It turns out that it's damn fun and it is a little insane.

HITMAN is the brand new Linux port from Feral Interactive and what a game it is! This is some serious fun to keep you occupied for many hours!

Aspyr Media have officially released the Linux port of Civilization VI and after testing it here’s some thoughts.
