The developer of 'Binaries' sent me a copy of their game to check it out and it's impressive. It's a platformer where you're controlling two balls at the same time, each in slightly different level layouts, it's genius.
I decided to check out 'What The Box?' a new Early Access shooter because the idea of it sounds hilarious. Everyone is a box, in rooms full of boxes, but you have to figure out what box is another player and kill them.
Quite some time ago I wrote about Planets³ (now called Stellar Overload) and how they didn't hit the Linux goal, but didn't want to leave Linux out. Looks like they are delivering on that.
The good-looking and insane RIVE has been long advertised as Two Tribes final release. For those who don’t recognize them, they’re the Dutch studio behind excellent puzzle games like Toki Tori.
Life of Pixel is a game that has been on Linux for quite some time, it originally released back in 2014 and I've finally given it a go. You're essentially playing through the graphical history of multiple eras.
Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander is a blend of a space strategy game with base building and RPG elements. It recently launched on Linux day-1 so here's some thoughts.
StarMade is an impressive game, it has a similar voxel-block style to Minecraft, but that's were the similarities end. The game now has a proper launcher that includes a bundled version of Java. This will make it easily run on Steam Machines.
Rocket League did actually arrive on Linux while I was asleep last night and my lovely team popped the article out for me. I am awake, I have played it and here are some thoughts.
My GOG contacts sent over Fear Equation, a game I have been really wanting to play as the sound of managing a train in a horror setting filled with fog and deadly creatures sounded fun.
Pan-Pan was sent over by my friends at GOG to take a look at. I had never heard of it before, but the visuals are so interesting it was begging to be played.
Refunct is a very peaceful and simple first-person platformer where you're not really guided by anything but your senses, it's odd, yet refreshing. It also throwns in some Parkour – because why not.
The super cool theme park builder Parkitect has reached alpha 5, it seems like a smaller release overall as it's laying the foundation for future updates.
