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.

Cities: Skylines continues to get better with this latest major patch. It brings new tools for map makers and tons of bug fixes.

The newest entry in the World War 2 strategy series has a concrete(ish) release date. Armchair generals and digital despots can expect to launch their campaigns of world domination on June 6th.

In their GDC presentation for this year, Paradox Development Studios has set a release date for their non-historical game. Those who dream of expanding their civilization among the stars can expect the game to be available May 9th.

The Minecraft developers has finally done something about the boring combat in Minecraft. This plus the other changes actually makes me somewhat interested in the game again.

The second expansion to the highly-successful city builder has arrived, bringing with it snowy tidings. Besides introducing new buildings and features, the expansion is released alongside a patch for all players that adds free content.

I've been keeping an eye on Sunless Sea for a long time, as it looks really quite good. It has had an experimental Linux version you had the email the developers to get for a long time, but it looks like it's being added to Steam.

Cities: Skylines looks like it's getting some really great support, and with a free update coming soon we will get access to a new Theme Editor. We also have a video with some of the Snowfall expansion gameplay.

The newest expansion for the acclaimed Crusader Kings II is now available, focusing on bringing more options for fine-tuning how your realm is run. A big patch has also been released to all owners of the base game, bringing with it many quality of life improvements.

Just a heads up folks, Parkitect is currently broken on Linux due to heavy graphical glitches, so if you were thinking about picking it up I would hold off until we can give the all clear.
