Vintage Story might look a lot like Minecraft but it's a very different beast and it just recently had a rather big update.

One game that could be worth keeping an eye on is the ski resort building and management sim Snowtopia.

When I recently talked about the big update to the survival game CHKN, I was very impressed with the game mechanics and style. However, performance was an issue.

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.

Quite a surprise turned up in my inbox recently. Spinnortality, a cyberpunk management sim that looks really good is releasing with Linux support next month.

Happy Room, a game you might not have heard of and you will be forgiven for that (I hadn't either) as it released in 2016. Turns out, they added a Linux version just after release so we completely missed it. A bit of a warning though, it's certainly not one to show a younger audience.

Eastshade certainly looks like a wonderfully peaceful experience and the new trailer show it off rather well, it's releasing soon too on February 13th.

Fruit Tower Defense from developer Fratboy Entertainment is a title you could easily skip over and disregard due to the style but it's actually quite good.

If you're in the mood for a story that's a little different, with a presentation that's rather unique then take a look at Critters for Sale.

Slime Research from developer Schism LLC is a bit of an odd one, now available in Early Access with Linux support.

This is a very curious one, Paradox Interactive have just announced that they've acquired Prison Architect from Introversion Software.

Have to hand it to the folks over at Jackbox Games, they're certainly putting in the effort here. They now officially support Linux with all their Party Pack games and more.

I often find it hard to hold in my excitement about certain games, Volcanoids is one of them as it looks completely awesome. A game with steampunk-like massive moving drills you build your base on, sign me up doc!

Tower Unite, a 'community-based virtual world party game' had a Linux version that was left in Beta since 2016 and eventually it broke. They've now removed it in favour of people using Valve's Steam Play.

After being sent a copy of Damsel from Screwtape Studios to our Steam Curator, I spent some time as Special Agent Damsel.

I have to admit, while watching the video for Spiralagon it did make me chuckle quite a bit. It's not a very serious game but it sure looks like fun.

Here's a game we completely missed that released back in 2017 - Runic Rampage. An action-RPG from developer Electrocosmos.

Last Epoch, a very promising Action RPG that was funded on Kickstarter already supports Linux, and my recent interactions with their team have been great.

For those who've always wanted to be a living member of a starship crew, PULSAR: Lost Colony is a reasonably good pick and it's nearing release.
