As far as unique ideas go, Screeps has got my attention. It claims it's an MMO RTS where you the player actually script your units AI.

Lately, I’ve been busy playing a lot of Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris, as both were day-1 releases on Linux. I spoke with Gustav Palmqvist, a PDS developer who helped make those releases happen on our platform of choice.

I completely missed the fact that The Hive added Linux support some time ago. It's a pretty good looking RTS game that feels a bit like playing the Zerg in Starcraft.

I am totally in love with Parkitect, so many good memories of playing Theme Park on the Amiga came back when I tried it. You GOG fans can now join in the action too.

Funded on Kickstarter, The Dwarves is from Battle Worlds: Kronos and the highly rated The Book of Unwritten Tales developer KING Art Games. This new trailer has caught my eye.

The very cool cyberpunk strategy game Satellite Reign now has a co-op mode named Uplink you can opt into and play with your friends.

Cossacks 3 is the first in this series of strategy games to be confirmed for Linux and this new video is still keeping my interest up for it.

Yes, Nuclear Dawn is still alive and still being updated. I'm actually shocked, but impressed at this. The new version will make the Linux and Mac versions a bit better too.

Defender's Quest Deluxe is a brand new upgraded version of the RPG/Tower Defence game Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten that brings lots of new goodies.

Dungeon Defenders has been out of date on Linux for a long time and the developers need a Linux developer to help get it updated.

I was pretty sad to see that the new game from Gaslamp (developer of Dredmor) Clockwork Empires didn't have a Linux version, but the developer has said again it will.

I absolutely love the style of Maia and it's pleasing to see this gorgeous colony building sim progress. This new update is pretty decent too.

SteamWorld Heist is the follow up title to the indie hit SteamWorld Dig. A very different game, but it has the charm of the original and then some.

If you have passed up on Wasteland 2: Director's Cut before you may want to take a look now, as it's having a free weekend on Steam.

If you're in the market to pick up something for the weekend, be sure not to miss out on the excellent XCOM 2. It's currently 33% off for the weekend on Steam, cracking deal that is!

The cutesy artillery game has added Linux support in its ongoing beta test. Development apparently still has a ways to go which makes this early support extra nice.

I love spaceship building and combat games and Defect looks exactly like the kind of game I've wanted. I've tried it and I think it's awesome.

Natural Selection 2 is continuing its rapid pace of trying to bring players back. They have released update 301 with a few new goodies.

The latest and greatest available for Paradox, Hearts of Iron IV is now available as a day-1 release for Linux & SteamOS.

The first major Stellaris patch 1.1 code-named "Clarke" is now available and brings plenty with it. I'm looking forward to diving back in.
