Tribal Pass, a genre-mashing tactical runner, is one we missed last year as they added Linux support after the initial release. Here's a few quick thoughts on it.

Classic first-person shooters are without question my favourite video game genre, and it would be nice to be able to sit down and play more Indie games that can satisfy both my classic FPS craving while at the same time pushing the genre forward. Ziggurat attempts to do both, and it wins my respect for that.

Quern - Undying Thoughts, a first-person puzzler inspired by the likes of Myst and Riven has been released on GOG and they have a Linux build too.

Just a quick update about the great online FPS Ballistic Overkill. I spoke to the developers on Twitter and it's possibly it may see a Unity upgrade to get Vulkan.

The Unity game engine has put out their big 5.6 update which is a very exciting release, it now includes full Vulkan support!

HEVN was pointed out by GOL follower micha and after taking a look I was impressed, so I spoke to the developer about their Linux plans for this first-person sci-fi adventure game.

As a big fan of the older Halo games myself, Installation 01 sounds like it could be pretty interesting. It also plans full Linux support due to using the Unity game engine.

The developers of Deadhold want to support Linux and they are thinking about releasing an experimental Linux Beta.

Hard West is a hard game to recommend to anyone unwilling to subject themselves to a trial by fire. If it were a horse I would say that it tried to buck me at every possible opportunity. It almost succeeded too.

Polyball is quite a weird game to describe really, as you're just controlling a ball and racing along platforms across various levels. That doesn't sound like much, but it's actually pretty fun.

Albion Online is going to be pretty interesting for MMO fans on Linux, especially so after watching the trailer for the 'Galahad' update that lands on Monday.

I was sent a link to Pine, an open-world adventure game currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter. The way they describe it and their openness about Linux support has me interested.

The developers Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion: HD Renovation have stated that Linux support is still coming and it looks like it could be soon.

More news from GDC, Unity have announced that on March 31st, Unity 5.6 will release and it will have 'out of the box support for Vulkan'.

Fumiko! An incredibly strange platformer was sent in by the developer, it was developed on Linux so I was keen to take a look.

You might not remember Eco, the in-development 'global survival game' where everything you do affects the environment. They have released a juicy new update with improved performance and some new features.

Albion Online will introduce some beefed-up PvE content in the upcoming update. One such feature are the revamped 'Expeditions'.

This open world MMORPG promises to have most of the traditional fun of the genre in more manageable chunks for those of us too busy to spend every waking moment playing it.

Shadowrun was not only the first CRPG series I found compelling enough to play through all the way to the end, but one that I also found myself invested in enough to purchase additional instalments soon after playing the first.

Fumiko! A new single-player, story-driven game that has been developed with Unity and Linux is coming out next month. It looks absolutely bizarre, but in a good way.
