Entering my inbox recently was an update on the roadmap for X4: Foundations, Linux is still in their plans but that date isn't too firm yet but we now have an idea of when it might be.

Orphan is a dark and quite chilling adventure from developer Windy Hill, with a pretty impressive atmosphere.

Another game from Puny Human was updated recently, this time it's the sword battler Blade Symphony which is powered by Valve's Source Engine.

Now that the fantastic looking FPS game Insurgency: Sandstorm is out for Windows, I've seen a few people worried about the status of a Linux version. I spoke to New World Interactive to clear up the situation.

This was quite a surprise to wake up to today, the in-development FPS Ion Maiden from Voidpoint and 3D Realms just got a pretty sweet update.

Developer Free Lives has given Broforce a bit of a refresh recently with a new update with possibly more to come.

Night of the Blood Moon from sole developer Tyler McDermott is a cramped and quite interesting action game that feels like a twin-stick shooter inspired by the likes of Nuclear Throne.

We've seen plenty of robots and we've seen a fair amount of fish, but have you seen a fish controlling a robot with a sword? Say hello to Feudal Alloy.

Sometimes when looking around for new games I come across something that really catches my eye, Battle Motion is one such game as it looks completely silly.

For those after their next retro platformer, the SNES-inspired Emerald Shores is out on Steam with Linux support.

Yet another interesting crowdfunded game to take a look at today, we have Heroes Ravage an online action game that has you play as both heroes and villagers.

I took a look at the Prologue of Unsung Warriors back in October last year and it was pretty good! They've now expanded it, put it on Steam and they have a Kickstarter going for the full game.

I have some pretty fond memories of playing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory online with friends many years ago, so to see it still alive and kicking with ET: Legacy is awesome.

Arc Savior, a new space combat game from developer Squid Monkey Studios is releasing later this month and it looks quite interesting. Turns out the developer is going to support Linux too.

If you would cry happy tears at the thought of a modern successor to 80s games like Thrust and Gravitar, then brace yourself for a river. Developer John Watson is making that dream a reality with his first commercial release, Gravity Ace. And you can try it for free!

While it's had Linux support for a few months and has been available on other stores, today GOG have added the action-RPG Mana Spark.

With thanks to a supporter, I was gifted a copy of We Need To Go Deeper. It's a 2-4 player co-op submarine roguelike and it's pretty rough.

Inspired by the likes of Nuclear Throne, Slay the Spire, Risk of Rain and more One Step From Eden looks like a promising action-packed deckbuilding roguelike.

Kontrakt actually released back in October last year, sadly it only supported older distributions but this is now fixed so I've taken a look.

Abstract Hell from developer Nathan Best released recently with Linux support and it's really quite good.
