I checked out Battlestation: Harbinger a while ago and thought it was a great idea for a space exploration game. The good news is that it's now DRM free on GOG with Linux support.
One of the older ports from a Humble Bundle can now be purchased for people who missed out. The action RPG Torchlight finally has a DRM free build on Humble Store.
If you like making your head hurt with puzzles be sure to check out Crypto Hex. It has a nice visual style, simple but challenging gameplay and it confused me quite quickly.

RimWorld is an extremely cool colony builder with Prison Architect inspired graphics. The latest update has been in the oven for a while, and it's big.
Human Resource Machine have a brief beta period, and now the developers have announced it's officially supported on Linux & SteamOS.
The rather pretty action adventure game Hyper Light Drifter is now available after a lengthy development period. I dove in right away to see if it was any good.
Children of Morta is a discovery I'm really happy about, as the animation and art style is just simply amazing.
I asked on twitter for developers to get in touch about their games, and first up is Quest of Dungeons from Upfall Studios. A turn based dungeon crawler game featuring a good old 16-bit retro artistic look.
Zombasite genuinely impressed me when I played it back in October, and it's really good to see development going strong on this ARPG. It has a new trailer, feast your eyes.
The second expansion to the very successful Pillars of Eternity has been released. Not only does the expansion conclude the story but a large patch has come out alongside it, bringing new free content for all owners of the base game.

The latest in the line of cyberpunk RPGs by Harebrained Schemes gets a really beefy update available to all players for free that includes a new six-hour campaign and in-game developer commentary
Prison Architect is just amazing, I still think it's one of the most interesting ideas for an indie game to come along for a long time.
GOG have joined in on the Early Access hype and have opened up their store to allow a few select titles in.
Kona: Day One could be a sleeper hit, as I haven't seen too much fanfare around it, but it looks seriously cool. Pre-orders are now open, and you get beta access on January 29th if you do.
Slime Rancher is quickly becoming one of my favourite indie games. It's a cute and silly game, and I have fallen in love with those stupid little smiling slimes.

Computer, Open That Door! A very interesting game about being a self-aware AI that is trying to kill off the crew of a spaceship.
Good news GOG fans, both Chaos Reborn and Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition now have their Linux versions on GOG.
