Way back in 2014, Valve were approving games from Greenlight in batches. In one particular batch the game 'Northern Shadow' came up on my radar as a very promising looking RPG. Sadly though, it has officially ceased development.
A bunch of Linux gamers who do Youtube videos came together to make a video of our top choices this year.
I recently saw 'MidBoss' pop up in my Twitter feed and after seeing how amazing it looked I shot the developer a message. Turns out our friendly neighbourhood porting machine Ethan Lee is doing it and it should be day-1!
Fans of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, don't spend all your money during the Steam Winter Sale. Next week, one day after the Steam sale has ended, Isaac's 'Afterbirth+' expansion will be released.
The original version of the classic shooter 'POSTAL' is now officially open source under the GPL license. That's a pretty nice move by RWS.
System76, the Linux hardware supplier for laptops, desktops and more has been working with NVIDIA on fixing up their drivers.
Day of Infamy is now in Beta and it came with a rather big patch. The game has a Linux version, but it's not officially advertised just yet.
Interstellar Marines was once an incredibly promising FPS game with nice visuals and interesting gameplay. Sadly, their money pretty much vanished, but it's pleasing to see it still being developed.
Behold Studios, those behind Knights of Pen & Paper and Chroma Squad have now officially announced their new game: Galaxy of Pen & Paper. It will have Linux support too and it sounds interesting.
I like survival games, but often I find them hard to get into. Wrongworld looks like it will make that rather easy, as it just looks so damn funny.
I discovered 'Mugsters' recently and after watching the trailer I feel like I just have to play it. It looks downright hilarious.
Prison Architect got a surprise holiday update and it's an interesting one. It adds a little more simulation for your staff along with some bug fixes.
I liked Transport Fever, but the performance at release was pretty damn bad. The developers were well aware of this and so they have released a big performance patch.
Something I've wanted for a while was an easy way to make simple gif animations or videos of small sections of my screen. Thankfully, gifine has come along and seems to fit my needs perfectly.
OpenMW, the open source engine for playing Morrowind has matured a little more with the release of 0.41.0.
Distance is easily one of my favourite racing games available on Linux. It has slick graphics, seriously good music and now it has support for ghost cars and replays.
RimWorld, the colony building simulator has a massive alpha 16 update named 'Wanderlust' and it's truly huge.
Darkest Dungeon is a hard and long game, but thankfully the developers know what to do about it. They are planning to add in a shorter game mode for you. They also recently added in gamepad support.
The developers of Lifeless Planet have continued to improve their Linux beta, as it's now running on Unity 5 and has the improved graphics from the PS4 version.
One store you really shouldn't look past is itch, as they have an open source client and I never hear a bad thing said about them.
