Developer WayForward has been developing games for consoles for well over a decade, and have now released their first game for Linux.

I'm not entirely sure if this is an accidental slip, or if Feral Interactive are preparing to release Medieval II: Total War on Linux, but their radar updated today to say Medieval II: Total War is out on Mac and Linux, but it's currently not. UPDATED.

Company of Heroes 2 has also been updated today, and the main changes are balance fixes and general Linux fixes.

Element has impressed me quite a lot, with some impressive visuals, quick games that you don't need hours for and it's really quite accessible.

Idol Hands is a strategy game where you gradually take over the world by guiding your people and defeating other gods. It doesn't have the best reviews, but the patch that came with the Linux version may sway a few to change their reviews I think.

XCOM is not only one of my favourite Feral ports on Linux, but it's also one of my most played and favourite games ever. XCOM 2 now has a brand new trailer, and wow, I'm excited.

The latest of the popular Total War series makes its appearance on Linux today along with its newest expansion. Total War: Attila will let strategy-minded penguins enjoy the mix of turn-based and real-time strategy that the series is known for against the backdrop of the barbarian invasions of Roman Europe.

Hybrid Beasts was sent to me on twitter earlier, and after watching the trailer I'm pretty much sold. It looks like it could be good fun.

I only learnt about Valhalla Hills recently, as they stealth-added a Linux version just before the official release. GOG sent over a key for this interesting Unreal Engine city-builder strategy game, so I took a look.

Total War: ATTILA has recently popped up on SteamDB with pointers towards a Linux & SteamOS version finally coming.

The latest expansion for the popular grand strategy game, Europa Universalis IV, is now available. Hordes get a lot of shiny new features but there's a lot of new internal and diplomatic options introduced as well. It's been released alongside a massive patch that improves things for all players.

I love XCOM, you should all know this by now. It’s one of the best strategy games available on Linux, and the original was one of the first games to ever suck me in. So, with Xenonauts now being native on Linux, I decided to finally take a look at it.

A new alpha release of the open source RTS 0 A.D. has just been released. The new release has various technical improvements and a couple of new gameplay and AI features.

GhostControl Inc is a pretty cool idea, and one to try for fans of things like XCOM and Ghostbusters, the developers just landed a nice big update too.

Empire TV Tycoon has just today put up their Linux version after sorting out some issues, and I can't wait to give it a go.

This is unusual, the developers of a turned-based strategic survival game named Thea: The Awakening are giving away their Linux version.

Hard West is a game I've been really looking forward to, as it blends XCOM style strategy with a really interesting setting.

I pretty much fell in love with StarDrive 2 for being so much like an updated Master of Orion 2, and now it has been given a beefy patch with Unity 5.

The Unreal Engine 4 powered 3D puzzle game with elements of mini golf is now officially available for Linux on Steam.

I am really quite interested in Hard West, as I love XCOM and a lot of Hard West certainly resembles it, but it's unique enough to make me want to play it. We have a new gameplay video after the release was delayed.
