Cities: Skylines has a new free DLC named Match Day which adds the ability to add a Stadium to your city.
I've kept my eye on Crea for quite a while and while it may seem a lot like Starbound and Terraria it's actually quite different.
I absolutely love the style of Maia and it's pleasing to see this gorgeous colony building sim progress. This new update is pretty decent too.
Starbound is a really cool game that has supported Linux for quite some time, but they had their SteamOS icon removed on Steam some time ago. The developer is doing a reddit AMA so I decided to pop two questions that got nice answers.
Minecraft is still going at a slow pace. Minecraft 1.10 has just been released which includes new blocks and mobs.
Jumpdrive (previously known as Paragon), a pretty good looking sandbox space sim is alive again and the developers have released the first Alpha build in many months.
I honestly think RimWorld is fantastic. A visual style inspired by Prison Architect, but you are building a colony on an alien world. The developer is finally bringing it to Steam with a huge update.
Thanks to a reader pointing it out, we now know that Amazing Frog? officially has a Linux and SteamOS version on Steam.
Terraria is a pretty decent sandbox game with lots to discover and it's just got a bit bigger. This new update is quite a big one.
Minetest is an open source game and game engine much like Minecraft and available for free. It has recently released a major new version.
I've been following Hearthlands for quite some time and I supported them quite early on, so it's really great to see the little city builder evolve. It has a new trailer and update ready.
Kerbal Space Program 1.1 is a pretty big update, and the name "Turbo Charged" seems quite fitting for such an update.
Good news for sandbox village building fans, as Gnomoria now has a DRM free release on GOG. I know a few people who would be happy about this!
RimWorld is an extremely cool colony builder with Prison Architect inspired graphics. The latest update has been in the oven for a while, and it's big.
Featuring a distinctively maritime theme, the latest EU IV expansion has come ashore. The plunder it brings includes a comprehensive free patch that should shake up things for all players.
I am really excited to give Starbound some proper playtime when it leaves Early Access. It's already fun, but I didn't want to have characters or worlds wiped during Early Access. They have put up what to expect in Starbound 1.0.
The trailer for CHKN delighted me with how weird it was, so I got a key from the developer and took a look at the Linux version of this weird sandbox game.
Don't Starve: Shipwrecked Expansion is a pretty big expansion to the really great survival game Don't Starve. It is now fully available and features Linux support.
This is not an April fools I assure you. CHKN is a sandbox survival game about creating life, and life looks weird.
Starbound is still under development, and the developers have been adding some really great features I'm going to highlight.
