The Escapists isn’t a game I’ve played before, since the first game isn’t on Linux (yet), but The Escapists: The Walking Dead is now on Linux and our friends at GOG sent me a key.

Harebrained Schemes are doing pretty well for themselves with their RPG games, and now they are going back to BATTLETECH with a new Kickstarter. Support has poured in, and it's funded already.

Crookz - The Big Heist is a game that came out of nowhere for me. I remember a live action trailer announcing the game a long time ago, then nothing until a free demo popped up a little over a week before the game's release. I wound up playing the demo and enjoyed it enough that I scooped up the full game.

Steampunk shipbuilding RTS Airships: Conquer the Skies has now been under development for exactly two years!

Good news for Jagged Alliance fans, as it looks like another game in the series will come to Linux. The reviews are a bit mixed on this one though.

Prison Architect stands high on the "Early Access games done right" podium, and their launch is going to be fantastic.

Grand Ages: Medieval is a blend of many different strategy games, but is it any good? Thanks to our friends at Kalypso Media I got the chance to try it today.

Good news, the developer of Banished is blogging again and it's still progressing. I'm still really excited to give the highly rated harsh city builder a try.

Cities: Skylines was already a pretty big game, and now it is simply huge thanks to a big free patch and the first expansion.

Triumph Studios has just released Age of Wonders v1.7, and with it comes a much anticipated feature in the form of user-created modding, including brand new units, heroes, classes, races and gameplay mods, along with a ton of stability fixes and balancing work.

It's good to see another game from OrangePixel, as I previously tried their Heroes of Loot which didn't hit any notes for me. Luckily, Space Grunts is hitting the right ones.

It’s still not all that often we get such big games, although it is increasing, so here’s a more detailed look at Company of Heroes 2 on Linux.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is easily one of the best strategy games ever in my eyes, so if you haven't tried it I seriously think you should try it since it's free for a weekend. Also, XCOM 2 looks like it will be a day-1 release.

A game I've really wanted to try is 'The Escapists' that sees you breaking out of prison, and it looks like it will come to Linux.

The rather good strategy game Frozen Synapse is now available DRM free on GOG, along with the Red DLC.

As a big fan of the old Syndicate, I’ve waited for this day for a long time. So, how is Satellite Reign on Linux?

Armello is a game of chance, trickery and cards as you try to outwit your opponents at every turn to become the King.

Another good looking strategy game looks bound for Linux, this time it's Grand Ages: Medieval from Kalypso Media and Gaming Minds Studios.

Medieval II: Total War has popped up on SteamDB with Linux information, and we also have Feral Interactive teasing us on twitter again, looks like they are behind it.

XCOM 2 has now been delayed until February next year to make it a worthy sequel, this should also ease the porting pressure on Feral who are doing a lot right now.
