Kerbal Space Program 1.1 is a pretty big update, and the name "Turbo Charged" seems quite fitting for such an update.

Good news for sandbox village building fans, as Gnomoria now has a DRM free release on GOG. I know a few people who would be happy about this!

RimWorld is an extremely cool colony builder with Prison Architect inspired graphics. The latest update has been in the oven for a while, and it's big.

Featuring a distinctively maritime theme, the latest EU IV expansion has come ashore. The plunder it brings includes a comprehensive free patch that should shake up things for all players.

I am really excited to give Starbound some proper playtime when it leaves Early Access. It's already fun, but I didn't want to have characters or worlds wiped during Early Access. They have put up what to expect in Starbound 1.0.

The trailer for CHKN delighted me with how weird it was, so I got a key from the developer and took a look at the Linux version of this weird sandbox game.

Don't Starve: Shipwrecked Expansion is a pretty big expansion to the really great survival game Don't Starve. It is now fully available and features Linux support.

This is not an April fools I assure you. CHKN is a sandbox survival game about creating life, and life looks weird.

Starbound is still under development, and the developers have been adding some really great features I'm going to highlight.

Cities: Skylines continues to get better with this latest major patch. It brings new tools for map makers and tons of bug fixes.

Cities: Skylines looks like it's getting some really great support, and with a free update coming soon we will get access to a new Theme Editor. We also have a video with some of the Snowfall expansion gameplay.

Just a heads up folks, Parkitect is currently broken on Linux due to heavy graphical glitches, so if you were thinking about picking it up I would hold off until we can give the all clear.

Prison Architect is just amazing, I still think it's one of the most interesting ideas for an indie game to come along for a long time.

Cities: Skylines is about to get even bigger and better, as Cities: Skylines Snowfall has been announced. Winter is coming.
