The open source Mesa 25.0.6 graphics drivers bug-fix release is out now, and thankfully this one comes with the updates needed to run DOOM: The Dark Ages on Linux with Proton when you have an AMD GPU.
Rogue Worlds is a new free chaotic tactical roguelite platformer that's a spin-off of Aura of Worlds, a paid bigger game from developer Cognitive Forge. It looks really good and can't argue with that price.
Rift Riff is all about jumping through portals (okay Rifts, whatever) and extracting precious juice. Monsters don't like you doing that though but the juice must flow. It's out now with Native Linux support.
Love customising mechs and going into battle? Granvir: Zero Front is a new prologue, acting as a long-term demo for the bigger game of Granvir that's due out later. Seems to be worth a look if you love mech action.
Linux GPU Control Application (LACT) is a wonderful open source app that allows you to tweak various settings for your GPU on Linux. The latest update brings some great new features, like the new fan control UI.
Another strategy game with trains? Sign me up. Break Siege from FojoGames just hit Early Access and looks like it could be another good one.
Just what the survivorlike bullet heaven genre thingy needed - nudity! Conquest Dark from Eldritch Sword Games actually has quite a number of fun game mechanics worth exploring, the nudity is optional but it has a point.
A blast from the past, although not too well-known. Originally from Maelstrom Software and Future Visionary, The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki - Fancy Edition is a fresh upgraded re-release of the 1994 game from ZOOM Platform Media that's out now.
Out of nowhere GOG added the SILENT HILL 2 remake from Bloober Team SA and KONAMI, so now more people get to play this highly rated horror DRM-free.
Developer Eric Engestrom today officially announced the full release of Mesa 25.1, bringing with it plenty of upgrades for open source graphics drivers.
Preservation is important for video games, but that often focuses on games that have been released. Here's a nice win for some developers though, as Captain Blood has managed to get released after being cancelled in 2010.
With combat that feels more like a faster and slashier Diablo / Path of Exile, the latest game from Hyperstrange is Hordes of Hunger and so far it's a lot of fun.
With a setting that not many games explore, Detective Dotson is a fresh adventure from Masala Games that's out now with Linux support. India is brought to life with some lovely pixel artwork in this new release, it's really quite eye-catching.
My new favourite deck-builder? Could well be. Starless Abyss released late in April from Konafa Games and No More Robots blending together the worlds of Eldritch horror and deck-builders in a space strategy theme.
I'm certain plenty of readers will remember the Flash classics Warfare 1917 and Warfare 1944! They're back, better than ever and expanded with the Warfare Legacy Collection now available.
A major day for Stellaris as the Stellaris: BioGenesis expansion has released, and the huge free overhaul patch 4.0 "Phoenix" has arrived. If you've been away a while, it looks like a great time to jump back in. This is probably one of the biggest updates to the game since release back in 2016.
I cannot stop myself clicking play on Glass Cannon, it's a properly great and unique shoot 'em up experience that twists the genre in a fun way that's too easy to get obsessed with.
Maze Mice is the latest game from the developer of the popular Luck be a Landlord, and while many developers continue making their own form of Vampire Survivor-like, this is probably the most unique so far that truly mixes things up as it feels a lot more like Pac-Man.
Probably the absolute weirdest deck-builder I've ever played, COMBOLITE is all about repeatedly hitting a rock to score points and activate special combos to score even more points.
This really brings back some memories. World of Goo 2 from 2D BOY and Tomorrow Corporation has officially launched on GOG and Steam with Native Linux support.
