Terraria a very popular 2D sandbox game is alive once again thanks to a renewed push from developers, and in a recent update they noted Linux will be looking into after Mac (and Mac looks close).
Valve have done their usual thing of turning on the greenlight to go for a bunch more indie games. We have the ones listed as supporting Linux for you.
Battle Group 2 was released for Linux this June, and it's a reasonably good little Linux game, so here are my thoughts on it.
The developers of DubWars noted last month that in the next update a Linux version is on the table. We love games that mix music into the gameplay and DubWars could be a winner.
Skyward Collapse is a different take on the god game genre that mixes in some strategy and and base building elements to make one weird mix.
Worms Clan Wars a reasonably high rated Worms game looks like it will come to Linux thanks to info taken from the excellent SteamDB.
Retrobooster has just released onto Steam and brings with it skill based old school gameplay as you pilot your ship through caves trying not to bounce off too many walls and explode, oh and it's bloody hard too.
A fantastic looking and free visual novel with strategy elements is now on Steam for Linux and it's good. I give it a quick look and tell you what I think.
MouseCraft is a highly rated and crisp looking puzzler inspired by both tetris and lemmings, and it's now joining the ranks of Linux games on Steam.
Quest for Infamy is a fantastic looking love letter to old school point and click adventure games with RPG mechanics and turn based battles thrown in for good measure.
Black Ice the excellent cyberpunk FPS game is now on Steam in the Early Access section and it's looking as good as ever.
Don't set your hopes too high yet folks as this doesn't yet include performance fixes, as this is a bug-fix only open beta for now. I am glad Virtual Programming decided to go down this road as it seems they are learning from past mistakes.
Interstellar Marines the beautiful tactical FPS game that was recently released for Linux has now been updated for Linux due to their older game engine having mouse issues.
My spidey sense is tingling. Marvel Heroes 2015 a free to play MMO Action RPG looks like it will be coming to Linux thanks to info taken from the excellent SteamDB.
Daedalic Entertainment has released a bundle of the Deponia Trilogy, adding Linux support for the first time. The Visionaire game engine (which the game uses) now also has Linux support, giving the potential for a slew of similar games to appear on Linux.
Natural Selection 2 is now entirely supported by a community of coders for free because they love the game, and they need help from tech savvy Linux developers to improve the game on Linux.
When I say weird in this case I really mean it. Cult Of The Wind has all players pretending to be aeroplanes and it's quite funny.
Hand of Fate is now in Steam's Early Access section for those of you willing to front some bucks to get it on the action. The game is described as a hybrid roguelike/action-RPG/deck builder and it looks rather pretty too.
Knight Squad is a fun looking multiplayer combat game that the developers say mixes old style Bomberman with aspects of Gauntlet and it looks good.
Legions of Ashworld is a turn-based war-game, which brings a sense of adventure to strategic war-gaming with its first-person view of an open world environment. Released for Linux a month ago it's now on Steam for Linux too!
