Category: Early Access

SpeedRunners is a rather popular Early Access multiplayer running game that pits 4 players against each other. There's been a lot of people asking for a Linux version, and they have begun to deliver.

After picking up Factorio based on some users high praise of it, I have ended up putting way more hours into it than I thought possible. Here’s some thoughts on it.

I had a chance to take a look at Overfall, a very interesting mix of rogue-like exploration, RPG and strategy mechanics wrapped up in a funny looking shell.

The Kindred looks like it could be quite a cool voxel sandbox strategy game, it's now in Early Access on Steam.

Paint the Town Red features the aesthetics of Thirty Flights of Loving, the pace of Eldritch and the absurdly deranged violence of Hotline Miami and Postal 2.

This is exciting, Gates of Hell a strategy game coming soon has been officially confirmed to Linux & Mac. As a big fan of real time strategy games, I approve of this.

The amazing and unique "logistics simulator" where you build massive convoluted factories while fending off hordes of insect aliens is finally coming to Steam on 25th February!

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.

Tempest is a pretty good looking naval warfare game involving pirate ships, and it looks like it's coming over to Linux.

Heads up survivalists! Don't Starve: Shipwrecked the good looking new DLC for the single player version of Don't Starve is now on SteamOS & Linux.

I never noticed Dungeon Souls getting a Linux version, so it must be another case of it not showing up in the new SteamOS & Linux games list if the Linux version was added later.

Pharaonic is an unforgiving sidescrolling Action-RPG by the developers who gave us Ziggurat, and it looks good.

SNOW is incredibly interesting, mainly as it's our first proper winter sports type game to have on Linux & SteamOS, it's a bit buggy though. It's free, so no big loss right now if it's a bit iffy.

GOG have joined in on the Early Access hype and have opened up their store to allow a few select titles in.

It's nice to have some good news. I told you all recently that it looked like Master of Orion was coming to SteamOS & Linux, and now it has been confirmed by Wargaming themselves.

I was really hoping to give Torment: Tides of Numenera a go, but it seems I won't be able to since they have launched without Linux support right now. They aren't sure if it will get a Linux version during Early Access or after the final release.

Fans of challenging platformers with the trendy roguelite appellation might be interested to know that there's something new that they can sink their teeth into. Vagante promises countless hours of procedurally generated fun alone or with friends.

Fans of the beautiful game might be happy to know that we've had our first football (soccer for you Yanks out there) game available on Linux for a few months now. Well, first one that's more about the matches than the management side of things. Kopanito is a diverse and fast-paced game that looks pretty fun.

Aspyr Media have announced they are now publishing the psychedelic horror game Layers of Fear. The game is currently in Early Access, and due out next month.

Project Zomboid is one of my favourite indie games, while I haven't set aside a lot of time for it, it has a place at the top of my heart.
