Today is a very good day, first Mad Max and now Stellaris DLC and a big patch. As usual they have a bunch of new stuff for free in the patch to go alongside a few new bits in a DLC.

It seems being a big space nerd on Linux has no shortage of good games, as now we have 'Concealed Intent' to join the ranks.

Football Manager 2017 is the latest in the line of FM games from Sports Interactive and SEGA and it supports Linux once again. The developers confirmed to me on twitter that Linux is included in the beta.

I'm always impressed by the level of effort put into 'Maia' and I think once it's finished it will be great. It has problems for sure, but this latest small patch aims to start sorting them out.

Stellaris - Leviathans is the new DLC coming out soon for the space strategy game Stellaris, and it promises some big stuff.

Oh boy, I used to absolutely adore Settlers when I was younger on my Amiga! Widelands is an open source strategy game much like the original, and a new release is on the way.

Topware Interactive have now put up a Linux beta for 'Battle vs Chess' that makes use of Wine. It's really cool to see them do this.

Topware Interactive are continuing to bring over their older games to Linux using Wine, and that's okay. The latest is Jagged Alliance 2 - Wildfire.

I do love 'OpenRA', especially fun when we did our online Linux tournament. The new release is really great too, with it implementing more of the single-player missions from the original Command & Conquer, Red Alert and Dune 2000.

Here's something fun, Shallow Space has been re-working to be an open-world space game and the beta is now on Linux. The developer said getting it working on Linux helped overall performance.

It has been nearly 7 months since the last release of the rather good looking open source RTS 0 A.D. and they only have 8 tickets left open to finish, 4 of which are patches with code basically ready.

Transport Fever is really starting to look great, and the best news is that Linux is confirmed to be a day-1 release. We also have a new gameplay video.

Paradox Development Studio’s popular empire-building grand strategy game has gotten its latest expansion. Rights of Man and the plethora of free features in the accompanying patch do much to change the game.

For those who know me, they will know I love strategy and sandbox building games. Not only that but I love things based around space and other planets. So Earth Space Colonies deserved a try.

'AI War II' from Arcen Games is real and is currently in need of funds on Kickstarter, with Linux fully planned as a day-1 release.

Get ready space fans, as Stellaris is soon to get a major patch and DLC. Paradox has announced they will release together on the 20th of October.

I do love a good 4x strategy game, Master of Orion 2 was my first and I fell in love. It's a genre not too well served on Linux, but Lord of Rigel looks like it might be good.

Holy cow! Wasteland 3 is now on Fig looking for funding, and the good news is that it has almost reached it's goal!

Civilization VI was originally announced for Linux back in May, since then we've had a lot of silence on it, until today. Aspyr Media seem to be the developer handling it, but they are still investigating if it's viable.

Company of Heroes 2 is easily one of the best (top 5 easily!) RTS games available on Linux, it's also now in a fresh Humble Bundle.
