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.
Albion Online is going to be something big when it's fully released, I'm sure of it. This update shows me how much they are listening to the community (within reason) too.
I was really hoping to give Torment: Tides of Numenera a go, but it seems I won't be able to since they have launched without Linux support right now. They aren't sure if it will get a Linux version during Early Access or after the final release.
I actually love Albion Online, and I think it's going to be a big hit when they add in more content and quality of life stuff. They have listened and the 'Brutus' update is coming.
Eyes up developers! The Unity Game Engine has been updated for Linux, and it's now built upon the newer Unity 5.3.1.

Explicitly dedicated to our holiday season game making enjoyment, a new build of the Unity editor for Linux has been released. It is updated to Unity version 5.3.0f4.
I'm not a big survival fan, but even I think Hurtworld looks pretty damned good. Hurtworld is a hardcore multiplayer survival FPS with a focus on deep survival progression that doesn't become trivial once you establish some basic needs.
So, a lot of people were excited about Unity adding in their new and much more modern OpenGL system. The sad news is that it won't give as big a performance boost as we were hoping.
Unity 5.3 has been on my radar for one single reason, they finally have a modern OpenGL system! I really hope developers upgrade to it.
Norwegian developer Red Thread Games has released Book 4 of Dreamfall Chapters, and along with it a massive engine update from Unity 4 to Unity 5 which intends on fixing many of the performance woes suffered by the game.
Tesla Effect was a pretty interesting looking game, but sadly the Linux release never happened and not because the developer didn't try.
I've been keeping an eye on Parkitect for quite some time, reading up on the development now and then as it looked promising. They have just release their Linux version, and it's already bringing back glorious memories of binge playing Theme Park.
A developer from Logic Artists has shown renewed interest in porting their Early Access stealth game to Linux, though still being careful not to make any concrete commitments.
In a move that I imagine will make a lot of people happy, it seems RollerCoaster Tycoon World will support Linux at launch!
Lots of news coming out of SIGGRAPH recently, and next up is the slides from Unity's talk now being available.
The latest version of Interstellar Marines is available, and the main change here is it's now using Unity 5.
We know that Unity is working towards bringing their editor over to Linux, and this little update on their official website slipped past me.
I've just gotten around to trying out the demo for 'Through the Woods' that was pointed out to me, and wow this looks like it's going to be pretty great.
It was heavily requested, and a Unity developer has written a blog post giving us a lot more insight into what’s going on.
