xoreos is a FLOSS project aiming to reimplement BioWare's Aurora engine (and derivatives), covering their games starting with Neverwinter Nights and potentially up to Dragon Age II. This post gives a short update on the current progress.

I'm a fan of roguelikes and I'm a fan of first-person shooters. So naturally I really like the idea of combining these two genres. And as it happens, another game called Barony has attempted that. Let's see how it fares!

Legend Of Grimrock has sadly been unplayable for anyone on Linux with an Nvidia 900 series chip (like the 970), until now. The developers just put up a Linux beta, and it works.

I have noticed a very scary drift towards accepting wrapper based ports. Working as a developer and also a long term Linux user I can only believe that it is due to misunderstanding of the processes, restrictions, and licenses that go into porting a game.

So what do you get when you mix FTL and Mad Max? Well, the answer would probably be Convoy. Let's take this roguelite game for a spin and blow up some nasty raiders in a very desolate wasteland on a planet far far away.

Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri is a classic tactical shooter that now has a Linux version on GOG, and it's highly rated.

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?

The sandbox factory puzzler by SpaceChem and TIS-100 developer Zachtronics has left Early Access after five months of tweaks and bug fixing.

Street Rage is the video game tie-in to the 80s style action comedy flick Kung Fury, which was funded on Kickstarter last year.

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

Some of you might remember this open, procedurally generated space exploration / exploitation game that was kickstarted in late 2012. The project has now woken up from extended, months-long cryosleep.

The roadmap for Unity, the extremely popular game engine has been updated. Apparently a Linux editor for Unity is in-progress, but it may be a while before we see it.

So I heard you like puzzle games. Well, since relatively recently we have gotten two light-weight and relatively simple (as in, simple concept) puzzle games I decided to be more super productive and put them both in the same article. Enjoy the double first impressions!

In a very surprising move Valve has added Linux & Mac versions of Dota 2 Reborn, all that in less than a week. So much for Valve Time.

Another year has gone by for The Funding Crowd, so it's time to look back at these last 12 months and see what have they brought us and what's the promise for the next year.

According to a renowned German PC games magazine,Gamestar, the SteamVR device HTC Vive is going to be released only for Windows in the beginning.

Greek Mythology and futuristic racing might not be the most evident combination out there but The Next Penelope challenges players to rethink the obvious.

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

The Perils of Man is a traditional point-and-click adventure game with time travel, created by LucasArts veteran Bill Tiller and writer and game designer Gene Mocsy in collaboration with IF Games.

Some time ago Minor Key Games published their political stealth action thriller Neon Struct. I think we better cover this game before the big brother comes and censors us.
