I'm a big fan of Dying Light, even with it being a bit iffy at times for me, but the general gameplay is fantastic. The developers have announced a newer Dying Light: Enhanced Edition is coming
I have it straight from the developer that Dying Light's DLC The Following will be on Linux, after I saw reports and speculation that it wouldn't be. The price is also set to rise, so you may want to pickup the season pass soon due to how big it is.
That's quite a mouthful for a headline, eh? Nation Red does look quite cool, and I was going to write it off for being "another zombie thing" until I saw how well reviewed it is.
Organ Trail: Director's Cut was a pretty cool game when I tried it a while ago, and it's great to see it has been updated again with a huge DLC.
Zombasite is a brand new Zombie apocalypse RPG in Early Access, it looks good, and it's from the same developer that created Drox Operative.
The Escapists isn’t a game I’ve played before, since the first game isn’t on Linux (yet), but The Escapists: The Walking Dead is now on Linux and our friends at GOG sent me a key.
Carnivore Land is a new and quite promising looking top down zombie shooter now in Early Access, and it's available for us of course.
I'm pretty excited about Dying Light: The Following, as the basic gameplay in Dying Light was really fun, and I need more.
We've been pretty patient waiting for Contagion to come to Linux, and we haven't been forgotten about. The developers will be visiting Valve this year to speak about it.
Codename CURE is a reasonable well rated first-person shooter on Steam, and it has been updated to include a Linux version.
I do love Dying Light (apart from the ending), and it looks like it will get a fresh coat of paint soon with new content.
Don't let "free to play" turn you off, as with over 130 thousand reviews, it's overall rating is "Very Positive" on Steam.
Just a little warning if you were thinking of picking up '7 Days to Die', they just release Alpha 12 which has completely broken Mac & Linux builds.
Project Zomboid is easily one of the best Zombie survival games around, build 32 adds a lot of new stuff, and Steam integration is coming soon.
Duke Nukem 3D. Shadow Warrior. Blood. All built on the Build engine, these three games when taken collectively are often referred to as the Big Three, and they are now all available for Linux from GOG. But just how well has GOG done in bringing these classic '90s shooters into the modern era?
Splatter - Blood Red Edition is a fantastic looking top-down shooter that features a film-noir styled single-player campaign. I decided to pick it up now the developer has put up a test branch on Steam, and found it to be fantastic.
The day has arrived, not only do we have a new DLC for Dying Light, but the Linux performance patch I previewed for you has also been released! To quote a film I saw recently “what a lovely day!”.
Thanks to my friends at Techland I have been able to test the upcoming Linux performance patch. It’s looking mighty fine right now.
Contagion is the Source engine powered Zombie shooter from Monochrome, Inc that was funded on Kickstarter. We have some clarification as to what is going on, as we have been waiting a long time.
While it's sad we aren't getting the initial release of Killing Floor 2, we should see it sooner rather than later going by their most recent comments.
