We held off on covering Evoland as their Steam release for Linux didn't work until now, but we got in touch with the developers and they said they have fixed it! Evoland is very interesting for the mechanics of unlocking new gameplay systems and graphical upgrades as you progress.

You know since yesterday with our massive SteamOS news post that Torchlight II is now on Linux, but since the dust is settling we have had some time to check out the port, here’s how it runs.

Pixel Heroes is one of the more interesting indie titles released recently, and I had a chance to take a look at the game and give you some thoughts on it.

What was once going to be an MMORPG, is now a sandbox RPG in a procedurally generated world with cross-platform multiplayer. Windward is now available on Steam and is set to launch Q2 2015 on Windows, Mac, and Linux. As a personal fan of anything Pirate related, I cannot wait for this game to arrive. I've been waiting ages for a Pirates! style game.

Victor Vran is a promising RPG in Early Access from the developers of the Tropico games. We have it confirmed from a developer that the game will be on Linux too.

The unique action RPG with card deck building mechanics, Hand of Fate, is finally fully released after a year of being in Early Access. The game has a spiffy new trailer to show off the game.

Legends of Eisenwald never reached the Linux stretch goal to come to Linux right away, but it was always coming and the developers have reconfirmed this.

An indie tribute to J-RPG classics. Explore a universe blending fantasy with science-fiction, intense ATB battles and branching story.

Dead Island has been patched to fix multiple issues in the Linux version, so it looks like it’s properly playable now months after release. Updated.

Deadnaut is Screwfly Studios' second game and follow up to cult hit, Zafehouse: Diaries. Deadnauts, so named because they’re unlikely to return, must explore, investigate and fight their way through the derelict ships of dead civilisations. Every mission is unique and no two locations are the same.

I had a chance to speak to the developers of Divinity: Original Sin who confirmed the Linux version is being worked on right now.

Linux is highly lacking in decent 3D RPG games, and let's not even get into the near drought of MMORPG games, but Shroud Of The Avatar looks like it could fill the gap eventually. The reason we say eventually, is that the game is in Early Access, and they consider it pre-alpha.

The early 90s saw a lot of different game genres appear and mature. Games like Wolfenstein, Dune II, Civilization and Ultima Underworld made important contributions to gaming in general. Now, under a new studio, industry veterans responsible for Ultima Underworld have launched a Kickstarter campaign for a spiritual successor titled Underworld Ascendant.

I have to hand it to Techland, they have been responsive to my many requests, and this new patch is proof of their work on Dying Light.

Lords of Xulima has just release the Linux version of their fantasy RPG and it looks fantastic, we decided to give it a go and tell you what we think.

The open world pirate RPG Raven’s Cry has been released with day one Linux support. Raven’s Cry looks promising in terms of story and setting, featuring historically accurate architecture from the 18th century, a morality system, side-quests and economy system.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel the latest in the Borderlands series that is available on Linux has gained another DLC titled ‘Lady Hammerlock the Baroness Pack’, and this new DLC is available for Linux thanks to Aspyr Media.

It's quite hard to contain my excitement about this game, but as always we will give it a fair look and tell you what we think about Dying Light. This post continues to be updated, and it's really not good. Updated 28th January for game-breaking bugs.

Dying Light is now confirmed for Linux thanks to the announcement from the developers on the Steam store itself. The Linux icons show up on the store pages, and the game even has a steam coming soon banner on the home-page. Time to get seriously excited.

Well this was a surprised! Dying Light has hints that it may come to Linux thanks to information from the awesome SteamDB. UPDATED: Linux icon now on the store!
