Later than I had originally hoped, but Best Buds vs Bad Guys has officially released for Linux. I actually Kickstarted this game, so I was hoping it would be good.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
