We have been waiting with a keen eye for ARK: Survival Evolved to arrive on Linux. It’s a very popular survival game with dinosaurs that is constantly in the top-10 on Steam, so how is it?

Distance is a beautiful neon survival racer that I finally had a chance to play, and what I found really did surprise me.

ARK: Survival Evolved sadly won't hit the release date today for the Linux & Mac versions, but they sent word that it will release on Tuesday the 30th of June.

Indie Island is the free DLC to Dyscourse where 10 well-known indie developers are stranded on a desert island.

ARK: Survival Evolved has now set an official date as the 25th of June for the release of the Linux (and Mac) versions.

If you own Don't Starve you will now have access to Don't Starve Together, the standalone multiplayer version!

Goat Simulator really is a funny game, and the developers poking fun at their own customers is just as funny. Their latest poke at other developers is in their new DLC named ‘GoatZ’.

Another survival game, but is it one I can actually get into? It’s another Early Access game, and I’ve taken a look.

Savage Lands is an interesting take on the survival genre with a fantasy setting, so I took a look so you know what to expect.

Don't Starve Together is the official multiplayer version of the excellent survival game Don't Starve, and it will get the original Reign of Giants expansion now too as a free update.

The crowd-funded choose-your-own-adventure survival game Dyscourse by Owlchemy Labs launched on Steam yesterday. We've had a look at the game and offer our thoughts on it.

Shelter 2, a really interesting looking open world adventure game has announced that Linux should see a day 1 release now.

Techland have release a bigger patch this time around to fix lots of issues, but the game is still damn awful on Linux.

This War Of Mine is easily one of my favourite survival games, and I gave it a pretty great review recently. We have been gifted 10 discount codes to give you 50% off, so snap them up quickly!

Don't Starve Together is now in Open Beta. Don't Starve is a wilderness survival game and this standalone expansion adds new content as well as multiplayer.

Rust from Facepunch Studios (notable for Garry's Mod) should once again work on Linux thanks to some more Unity engine updates, I've tested it and it works for me.

So... Dying Light. A triple A day one Linux port. Now that would sound awesome but sadly releasing games in a horrible state is trendy and Techland seems to have wanted a piece of that cake. Let's list the problems, shall we?

Several years ago I made a number of standalone Linux binaries for the Chzo Mythos using the then closed source Adventure Game Studio runtime as a base. Now that the source code to AGS has been released, I have updated the builds to use the superior free software engine.

I have been following this realistic survival game for about a year now as they stated Linux support on their homepage. Some of its main features include an infinite procedurally-generated world, dynamic weather, hunting, crafting and on top of all that it has great graphics.

Banished is the harsh city building and survival simulation that the developer had always planned to port to Linux, but it looks like it's about to happen now.
