Papo & Yo, a popular game that was ported to Linux with the Humble Indie Bundle X two years ago finally has the Linux version on Steam.

Windlands looks like one of the more unique indie games I've seen recently, and the idea of bouncing around with a grappling hook sounds fun.

Slime Rancher is the tale of Beatrix LeBeau, a plucky, young rancher who sets out for a life a thousand light years away from Earth on the 'Far, Far Range' where she tries her hand at making a living wrangling slimes.

Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! That has to be one of the wackiest titles I've ever seen, and the developers kindly sent in a key for me to give it a go.

Good news you maniacs, Hatred the weirdly controversial game is now in Beta for Linux. You need a password, but we have the scoop for you.

Idol Hands is a strategy game where you gradually take over the world by guiding your people and defeating other gods. It doesn't have the best reviews, but the patch that came with the Linux version may sway a few to change their reviews I think.

Stardust Galaxy Warriors looks like another good one for the Steam Machine race, as it combines good looking visuals with fun looking gameplay.

Good news people! Voyage to Farland now bundles Java, and it launches in fullscreen right away if it's launched on SteamOS.

Race Online is bringing back memories of some Amiga games I played many years ago, and it already performs nicely on Linux.

Lucius II is a game we sadly overlooked, once again due to it not showing up in Steam's new releases section due to adding the Linux version later. Lucius II has a unique twist where you play the bad guy and wreak havoc as the son of the devil.

Hatred, that weird shooter about killing anyone and everyone is now in testing for Linux the developer has confirmed, and SteamDB shows it too.

If you like first-person dungeon crawling, I seriously suggest you take a look at The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians.

SkyScrappers is deceptively simple looking, but I've been playing it a bit with the brand new SteamOS & Linux release and I've found it to be a pretty fun little fighting game.

GhostControl Inc is a pretty cool idea, and one to try for fans of things like XCOM and Ghostbusters, the developers just landed a nice big update too.

I previously mentioned that the seriously cool looking Epistory - Typing Chronicles would come to Linux & SteamOS, but it's now out, and it just had a big content update too!

I've been looking forward to Cardinal Quest 2 ever since I tried the original, and after a very long wait it has been released.

I recently announced that GALAK-Z had released for SteamOS & Linux, but I've now properly pumped some time into it and it's quite an experience.

I'm always a bit iffy about posting online indie games, as niche games like this never usually have a big online following. It's no different for this game, and it really doesn't perform well on my machine.

The game, featuring an unlikely combination of gameplay elements, was a surprise release. We have Ethan Lee and FNA to thank for the port and we can expect to see more of his ports in the near future.

The developers have shared information on the status of the Linux version and will soon offer an opt-in branch on Steam for Linux users willing to test the port.
