For those who know me, they will know I love strategy and sandbox building games. Not only that but I love things based around space and other planets. So Earth Space Colonies deserved a try.
If you’ve ever fantasized about killing uncountable amounts of giant mushrooms invading your homeland, Mushroom Crusher Extreme is a game with arcade elements that lets you do just that. The game got day-1 Linux support and I took a look to see what it was like.
Parkitect is coming along really nicely, and looks to be a great answer to having a theme park builder on Linux. The developers have put up a new build with new rides including bumper cars, and the ability to get a loan.
UNIGINE are building a brand new benchmark stress-test named 'Superposition Benchmark'. They have put out some more information on it, and they want to get it onto Steam.
Earthlock: Festival of Magic is a rather great looking adventure RPG inspired by some older JRPGs, the developers recently opened an invite-only Linux test, but they have decided to open it up to everyone.
Dungeons & Robots is currently in Early Access and it looks like a lot of fun, the developers have recently given the game an official Linux build.
Get ready space fans, as Stellaris is soon to get a major patch and DLC. Paradox has announced they will release together on the 20th of October.
I have a real soft spot for Brigador, it’s a rather good-looking isometric mech action shooter, where you can destroy everything on the level. The new control scheme makes it so much more playable, it’s fantastic.
'Critical Annihilation' is a rather fun looking shoot 'em up that features destructible voxels. Linux users asked for a build and the developer has put up a beta.
SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is pretty damn fun. It's a scoreboard destroying fast paced 3D platformer where you're going for the best time. It was just given a big free update.
Continuing my effort to find fun games to play and to help you sift through the junk, I recently tried out ‘Hunger Dungeon’. It’s a free to play 1-6 player online battle arena, and it’s not too bad.
I do love a good 4x strategy game, Master of Orion 2 was my first and I fell in love. It's a genre not too well served on Linux, but Lord of Rigel looks like it might be good.
'Hybrid Wars' is a new top down action shooter that looked damn good from the trailer, so I managed to get a key to see if it's worth it for Linux gamers.
'Enclave' is another Wine-port from Topware Interactive who promised to bring their older published titles to Linux. I'm totally okay with this, and it's currently in Beta.
Trash, trash and more trash. That's how I would describe what has been gaining a foothold on Steam over the past year or so. Today it's time to rinse 'Noob Squad', an indie FPS that normally costs £0.75.
For the second time in only a few months, Overkill has managed to push out an update for PAYDAY 2 that has completely broken the Linux version.
The Challenge is a brand new Early Access adventure game powered by the Unreal Engine where you're tasked with protecting time. It has nice graphics, but boy is it rough.
The new DLC Cities Skylines - Natural Disasters has been shown off, along with a Scenario Editor in a new video.
'Conga Master' from Undercoders is an amusing and silly idea for a game, get ready to shake those hips.
I've had the chance to play some 'Spectrum', a platformer set in an abstract world. It's quite simple, but it can also be quite challenging.
