I wrote about The Signal From Tölva back in August of last year as it looks amazing. It has now been released on Windows and the developers are still fully open to getting it on Linux.

Classic first-person shooters are without question my favourite video game genre, and it would be nice to be able to sit down and play more Indie games that can satisfy both my classic FPS craving while at the same time pushing the genre forward. Ziggurat attempts to do both, and it wins my respect for that.

Inner Chains is a rather dark FPS powered by Unreal Engine 4 and it does look incredible. The problem is, the release date has been set with no Linux release in sight.

This slipped by me, not to be confused with the VR titles, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter is now supported in Croteam's updated Fusion engine and it features Vulkan and Linux support.

Croteam have recently released both Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter & Serious Sam VR: The Second Encounter on Steam. They both use their new Fusion engine which comes with Linux support, Vulkan and 64bit.

Version 0.8.2 of the free and open source arena FPS Xonotic has been released with a couple of new maps and a number of other changes and additions.

Just a quick update about the great online FPS Ballistic Overkill. I spoke to the developers on Twitter and it's possibly it may see a Unity upgrade to get Vulkan.

Unreal Tournament has been updated with much better weapon animations, AI improvements, map updates and more. Here's how to get it running on Linux.

When it comes to FPS games based on realism, Linux is in shortly supply. Day of Infamy is another game that, for me, has closed a gap I needed.

The really fun FPS Ballistic Overkill has now officially left Early Access with a patch. The developers have stated they intend to continue adding to it and have major features in development.

As a big fan of the older Halo games myself, Installation 01 sounds like it could be pretty interesting. It also plans full Linux support due to using the Unity game engine.

Day of Infamy is a very fun FPS from the developers of Insurgency. I've played a little while of it and found it enjoyable and now it's fully released.

Serious Sam Fusion 2017 the massive update from Croteam is now available for Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter.

Looks like some more fun is heading our way, as the Serious Sam Fusion 2017 update build is ready, but marketing and paperwork needs to be done first.

I've spent a little while checking out the new update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive today and I'm pretty impressed with the new map.

STRAFE looks fantastic as an FPS and a throwback to some retro shooters, but sadly it has seen a delay. I reached out to the publisher Devolver Digital to ask about the Linux release as it wasn't mentioned in the announcement.

Arma: Cold War Assault is now available for Linux & Mac, but it does not support Steamplay with the Windows version.

Oh boy, this review has been in the works for ages now but I decided that it’s better late than never and I’ve finally compiled my thoughts on Black Mesa, the fan remake of Half-Life. So, let’s check it out!

Day of Infamy is a pretty darn good FPS and they finally have their SteamOS icon on Steam to show off their Linux support. Oh, they also announced their released date and put out a whopper of a patch today.

Strife: Quest for the Sigil was both a critical and commercial disappointment for Rogue Entertainment in 1996, and the source code to the game was mislaid by its developers. Years later work begin on reverse engineering Strife using the released Doom code. Night Dive Studios would later use this community project to craft The Original Strife: Veteran Edition.
