Today I am taking a look at SUPERHOT, a game that I've been hyped about ever since I first heard about it. The idea is awesome, but does it work well?

XCOM 2 has been fixed up quite a bit in this first patch now available for Linux & SteamOS. I've tested it myself, and it's a far nicer experience now.

The amazing and unique "logistics simulator" where you build massive convoluted factories while fending off hordes of insect aliens is finally coming to Steam on 25th February!

I've been having a bit of fun with Battlestation: Harbinger for the last few days, and I've actually found it to be a pretty good mix of mix of roguelike, action, strategy and more.

Not to be confused with the other popular Hitman series, this new entry is a strategy game set in the Hitman universe.

Plague Inc: Evolved, a game all about making the deadliest pathogens to wipe out the human race, has now officially released as a version 1.0 on Steam and brings in some co-op features.

At times Linux ports are lacking quite a bit, but some like Total War: ATTILA actually run pretty damn close to Windows performance.

The new Master of Orion is coming to Linux, but you know that already if you read us often. The awesome news is the voice cast has been revealed, and it's awesome.

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.

Another excellent comparison video from Penguin Recordings has shown just how close XCOM 2 is on Linux and Windows, and Linux actually beats Windows in some tests.

To split up the Vulkan API news a little, here's a game! Earth 2160 the strategy game from 2006 is now available on Linux, and it's been bundled with Wine.

XCOM 2 has been well reviewed for Windows, but exactly how is it on Linux? I spent many hours defending the earth to find out.

If XCOM just isn't enough alien vs human strategy for you, Xenonauts 2 is now also being created and the developer confirmed to us it should be on Linux.

Sorry for being a bit late on this, but a few days ago I asked the developers mode7 if Frozen Synapse 2 will be on Linux, and they kindly replied.

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.

We Are Legion is a small indie strategy game with no unit caps, so you could end up with millions of units going at it. Sounds fun, but the graphics are pretty low-res.

This is awesome to see. XCOM 2 has beaten the all time peak player counter of some pretty high profiles games in only a few days.

Oh baby, here we go. Thanks to Feral Interactive, XCOM 2 has been officially released today for SteamOS & Linux.

I'm not going to apologise for many XCOM 2 articles, I am excited, deal with it. XCOM 2 can now be pre-loaded ready to play on release day.

Cities: Skylines - Snowfall the next DLC for the hit city builder is now confirmed to be releasing on February 18th.
