Cities: Skylines continues to get better with this latest major patch. It brings new tools for map makers and tons of bug fixes.

The newest entry in the World War 2 strategy series has a concrete(ish) release date. Armchair generals and digital despots can expect to launch their campaigns of world domination on June 6th.

In their GDC presentation for this year, Paradox Development Studios has set a release date for their non-historical game. Those who dream of expanding their civilization among the stars can expect the game to be available May 9th.

The Minecraft developers has finally done something about the boring combat in Minecraft. This plus the other changes actually makes me somewhat interested in the game again.

The second expansion to the highly-successful city builder has arrived, bringing with it snowy tidings. Besides introducing new buildings and features, the expansion is released alongside a patch for all players that adds free content.

I've been keeping an eye on Sunless Sea for a long time, as it looks really quite good. It has had an experimental Linux version you had the email the developers to get for a long time, but it looks like it's being added to Steam.

Cities: Skylines looks like it's getting some really great support, and with a free update coming soon we will get access to a new Theme Editor. We also have a video with some of the Snowfall expansion gameplay.

The newest expansion for the acclaimed Crusader Kings II is now available, focusing on bringing more options for fine-tuning how your realm is run. A big patch has also been released to all owners of the base game, bringing with it many quality of life improvements.

Just a heads up folks, Parkitect is currently broken on Linux due to heavy graphical glitches, so if you were thinking about picking it up I would hold off until we can give the all clear.

Prison Architect is just amazing, I still think it's one of the most interesting ideas for an indie game to come along for a long time.

Cities: Skylines is about to get even bigger and better, as Cities: Skylines Snowfall has been announced. Winter is coming.

Slime Rancher is quickly becoming one of my favourite indie games. It's a cute and silly game, and I have fallen in love with those stupid little smiling slimes.

Slime Rancher is the tale of Beatrix LeBeau, a plucky, young rancher who sets out for a life a thousand light years away from Earth on the 'Far, Far Range' where she tries her hand at making a living wrangling slimes.

Starbound was already a huge and interesting game, and now they have released another massive update. With new combat, vehicles, new unique monsters and more.

The latest expansion for the popular grand strategy game, Europa Universalis IV, is now available. Hordes get a lot of shiny new features but there's a lot of new internal and diplomatic options introduced as well. It's been released alongside a massive patch that improves things for all players.

I've been keeping an eye on Parkitect for quite some time, reading up on the development now and then as it looked promising. They have just release their Linux version, and it's already bringing back glorious memories of binge playing Theme Park.

FortressCraft Evolved has been on Linux for a while, but the official release now supports us properly. It was certainly inspired by the style of Minecraft, but it's a whole 'nother game.
