It seems Topware Interactive are continuing their Linux push with their classic games and I've noticed a few more that seem to be coming.

Astervoid 2000 was sent in by the developer and I've been testing out this multiplayer​ space brawler to see if it's worthy. It's surprisingly great actually! Mixing some lovely pixel art with sick tunes makes for an explosive experience.

The developers of 'Drift Into Eternity' emailed me to let me know their sci-fi single-player survival experience will be coming to Linux.

Master of Orion was somewhat eclipsed by Stellaris for me, but it has come back with a vengeance today with the release of a major patch and a race pack DLC.

The Dwarves is the fancy looking fantasy RPG from KING Art that arrived on Linux with a day-1 release today.

Vilmonic is another late night discovery, this time thanks to the itch store. It has a free and a paid version, so there's nothing stopping you taking a look.

Angeldust is a late night discovery after trawling through Steam around midnight last night. It's free to play, looks amusing with the colourful cartoon-like characters so I gave it a go.

Kingdoms and Castles is a city-building game set in what looks like middle ages. It has some really cute graphics and it's confirmed for a Linux release.

Cyber Chicken is a parody action platformer from WHOA! And published by Groupees Interactive. I grabbed a key to see if it’s worth a laugh or not.

The game finally has its finished version available on Steam since November 17th. If you count all the reviews from Steam users so far, it has collected 187 positive ones against 6 negatives only. There is also a demo available.

I have been waiting for this one! Anima Gate of Memories looks fantastic and we don't have many good third person action RPG.

In January 2017 it will be 4 years since a bug report was opened about Steam not closing to the tray on Linux. On Windows it works perfectly, but on Linux it has been left to gather dust like so many other issues.

If you want to play games in VR on Steam, the list of compatible headsets just got bigger. OSVR is now a supported option.

If you're in the mood for a good-looking 2D RPG with turn-based battles you may want to know that 'The Great Whale Road' is now on Linux.

Tower Unite is an interesting MMO, it's a community-based virtual world full of other games to play online. An interesting concept, sounds a bit like Second Life to me.

Thanks to my contact at Paradox, I have been able to test the new Cities: Skylines - Natural Disasters DLC before release. Here are my thoughts on it.

The enhanced remake of this indie game will be getting a Linux release on launch. Players will be able to explore a mysterious world where their actions have consequences and multiple endings abound.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the popular FPS from Valve has another update with one rather interesting feature. You can now join game lobbies made by members of Steam groups you belong to.

I think this title has a lot of potential, because after a successful Kickstarter campaign the developers claim they were funded by Nordic Games without sacrificing the creative control of the project, so basically the quality of the game now simply relies on how talented they are and how well they spend the budget on the game.

I am keeping an ever watchful eye over Maia hoping that it eventually gets polished up enough to be something great. This new update sure does sound nice, but sadly the game still lacks a lot of polish.
