Stellaris is the brand new space strategy game from Paradox that will launch today with day 1 Linux support. I was able to play it and livestream it before release, so here are some thoughts.

I actually really liked where XCOM went with X-COM: Apocalypse, it had issues sure, but it had some interesting features. Like OpenXcom, OpenApoc will be a fully featured open source engine. The new video showing their progress is fantastic.

Thanks to the Paradox twitter team I now have access to Stellaris! I will be booting up a special Livestream tonight.

XCOM 2's new DLC named Alien Hunters is due for general release on May 12th, but it's possible the Linux release may be delayed as Feral Interactive are simply saying "Soon".

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun certainly reminds me of the old Commandos game I played a lot when I was younger and who doesn't like ninjas?

Recently I put out an article about Blitzkrieg 3 coming to Linux. The Linux icon is prominently featured in their latest trailer, but after speaking to them on Facebook it seems it still has no ETA.

I managed to grab a key to Solar Division thanks to the publisher, so I decided to check out this interesting looking Tower Defence game to see if it's worth your tux bucks.

If you're a fan of games like Risk you might want to have a look into the free to play Age of Conquest IV which recently released.

Parkitect is one of those indie games that's near the top of my list for what could be the "next big thing". The developers have put out the first alpha of their park simulator and it's coming to Steam on Thursday.

Duskers is the really rather slick exploration, strategy and roguelike mix that has a seriously cool graphical style. Linux is now officially supported and it's leaving Early Access this month.

Blitzkrieg 3 is a pretty great looking World War II strategy game that is currently in Early Access on Steam. It seems it's coming soon to GOG and this new trailer even has a Linux icon.

Today is the day we get another popular game! Darkest Dungeon is now officially available on Linux, ported by Aaron from Knockout Games.

Well now, Shock Tactics was emailed in by a reader and it has to be one of the most interesting games I've seen recently. It seems to blend aspects of Civilization with XCOM!

It has been quite some time since I took a look at Star Ruler 2, so it's time to take another look with a big new patch and DLC release.

Shallow Space was already a pretty cool space strategy game, but it's going through a bit of an overhaul at the moment to greatly expand it.

I am a bit of a sucker for space strategy games and Solar Division certainly looks unique enough to give it a mention.

We have some great news for 4X fans, the latest game in the Master of Orion series has made its way to Linux in the new Early Access update.

I checked out Battlestation: Harbinger a while ago and thought it was a great idea for a space exploration game. The good news is that it's now DRM free on GOG with Linux support.

Endciv looks like an interesting take on town building simulation games, you are tasked with building a town in the wasteland after the fall of society.

Maia promises to be quite an interesting colony builder when it's finished, and I'm finally starting to see it come together with the brand new 0.55 Pressure Drop release.
