Risk of Rain 2 from Hopoo Games and Gearbox Publishing recently entered Early Access, it’s already become massively popular and thanks to Steam Play we’re not missing out.

While it doesn't look like much, Scrunk is actually a pretty fun game to play with others. It never really gained a following and so it's going free.

Rise of the Giant, a huge "free DLC" for the excellent Dead Cells is now officially out as if you needed more reasons to play this awesome game.

Sipho from developer All Parts Connected is a very interesting action and survival game, one where you create a creature from blocks inspired by Siphonophorae.

Recently announced by Paradox Interactive, it looks like Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 might actually get Linux support.

Cyber Shadow from developer Aarne “MekaSkull” Hunziker and publisher Yacht Club Games (Shovel Knight) looks seriously good and the good news is that it will come to Linux.
