The developer of Banished has written up another blog post about porting Banished to OpenGL for the Mac and Linux ports, and it sounds like the Mac OpenGL implementation was holding things up.

Megapolis is an older title, but positively rated and it's now on Steam with Linux support. It's a small city building simulator, something more casual than say Cities Skylines.

I am totally in love with Parkitect, so many good memories of playing Theme Park on the Amiga came back when I tried it. You GOG fans can now join in the action too.

The developer of Stardew Valley has stated in a fresh news post that the Linux version should be ready very soon.

CorsixTH 0.60 has been released which features user campaigns, an in-game map editor and more. Really pleased to see it progress as TH is an absolute classic.

I was pretty sad to see that the new game from Gaslamp (developer of Dredmor) Clockwork Empires didn't have a Linux version, but the developer has said again it will.

Cities: Skylines has a new free DLC named Match Day which adds the ability to add a Stadium to your city.

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.

This is kinda of amusing in a weird way, in XCavalypse you're cleaning up a city after a zombie apocalypse with a fleet of excavators.

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.

An EVE Online developer has created a native Linux launcher that will download a version of Wine built by the developer.

Yes, this is a real game. Since Grass Simulator nothing will surprise me any more. Youtubers Life is coming to Linux as confirmed by their twitter account in reply to someone. Soon you will be able to become the world’s greatest video blogger in history, in a game anyway.

Simutrans is a bit of an oldie in the open source gaming world, but it's pretty good and it has now found its way onto Steam.

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.

Turmoil is a charming looking simulation game that should be coming to Linux after the full release next month. Turmoil offers players a visually charming, tongue-in-cheek take on the simulation genre inspired by the 19th century oil rush in North America.

The Mims Beginning is a very promising strategy god-like game that has supported Linux for quite some time. It's really pleasing to see it have a final release.

While I can never really get into Football Manager games, Motorsport Manager is certainly something I could get into! Would love to take control of an F1 team.

Kitten Rampage seems like a game that is directly copying Goat Simulator, but with a Kitten instead of Goat. If that's your thing it's now on Linux.

I love Tycoon styled games and Blueprint Tycoon is a weird entry. I mean that in a nice way, as it's great to see some innovation.

Recently the developer of Stardew Valley announced that Chucklefish (developers of Starbound) would handle porting Stardew Valley to Linux & Mac. Chucklefish have now announced they are working with Sickhead Games​ on the porting process.
