Valve put out another small Beta update for Steam Desktop and Steam Deck that fixes some more annoying bugs.
My mother's favourite game on Linux is without a doubt Frozen Bubble. It is a casual game in all of the best ways; one you can dive into and learn at your own pace thanks to its simple but repeatable formula. Consider this to be a snapshot in time back to 2002, from right before the game was to take the world by storm.
The Sim-ple Life Bundle from Humble Bundle is another that has a few good looking indie gems you might want to relax with.
Daedalic Entertainment have now teamed up with Spitfire Interactive to help their work on the superhero strategy game Capes.
Seems like a future update of VKD3D-Proton that translates Direct3D 12 to Vulkan for Proton, for Windows games on Linux desktop and Steam Deck, will make use of a newer extension available in the new NVIDIA Vulkan Beta 525.47.07 release.
Easily one of the best puzzle games to release back in 2021 and frankly it's criminally overlooked, is set to get a whole lot bigger with the Lost Memories 3-part DLC.
All your base are belong to us. Toaplan are having some absolute classics revived including Zero Wing, Out Zone, Twin Cobra and Truxton with a PC release and enhancements. Oh, and Native Linux support to ensure they're great on Steam Deck too.
French comedy point and click adventure Superfluous Returnz is all about a useless superhero and it's releasing on May 15th.
Want a way to emulate old Apple iOS apps and games? Well, touchHLE just had its first release to prevent some more things being lost to time.
Another classic free and open source game continues getting better, with the Transport Tycoon Deluxe remake OpenTTD version 13.0 out now.
More weekend goodies from Valve have arrived! Proton 7.0-6 is officially out now, fixing up many bugs like with the EA App and Ubisoft Connect.
Sometimes a good firm handshake is what's needed and someone decided to turn that idea into a free puzzle game with Handshakes.
Paradox continue the DLC train here with Prison Architect: Jungle Pack announced for release on February 7th along with a free update for all players.
Property Pro is an upcoming game from SimDevs, with an aim to capture the classic feel of SimTower from the 90s.
Remember the classic sci-fi movie Fifth Element? I sure do and I only watched it again recently, where memories came flowing back of how I used to want those flying cars. Well, one game developer clearly loved it too and they're soon releasing MiLE HiGH TAXi.
The Wine 8.1 development release is now available, starting off another year of new features landing usually bi-weekly for the Windows translation layer used in Proton.
OBS Studio 29.0.1 is out now and a worthwhile upgrade for any of you doing video content on Linux, as it fixes many problems from the previous release.
Nordic Ashes: Survivors of Ragnarok is yet another survivor game in the spirit of Vampire Survivors, except this has a Nordic theme to it and it's now on Steam with Native Linux support. It's also Steam Deck Verified.
I don't play many visual novels (mostly a whole zero) but I do love when games sprinkle it in with other things like the sports management game Roller Drama.
One I've been meaning to point out for a while now is Zoom Platform. A games store that tries to appeal to "Generation X" with both new and classic games, DRM-free and they're continuing to build up their Linux support.
