Civilization: Beyond Earth is a sci fi-themed entry in the much-beloved and long-running Civilization series. It came out late last year to mixed reception and now has seen the release of its first expansion. I decided to check out Rising Tide to see if it managed to recapture some of that classic Civ magic.

Templar Battleforce is a turn based human vs alien strategy game with RPG elements, and so far it does seem to be quite interesting.

Prison Architect is an absolute beacon of how to do Early Access right, and the final release is now available.

The developers of iLikeMoney emailed their game in, and it took me by surprise for how unique it looks. You should take a look at this.

Ever wanted to colonize Mars? Well in Sol 0 that's the aim of the game, and it looks like it could be quite cool.

Party Hard has recently released for Linux, and it looks like a pretty interesting game. You need to infiltrate your noisy neighbours parties, and kill them.

We covered it before, but now RollerCoaster Tycoon World has a proper release date, and Linux will be included.

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.
