PayPalHere's one we missed, Don't Sink [Official Site, Steam] a sandbox adventure pirate RPG that's currently in Early Access added Linux support last month.
Linux support arrived with the December 24th update, which you can read here. Since Steam's newly released list doesn't update when a game has a new platform (like Linux), it's up to us to make sure you know it's on Linux!
Don't Sink takes inspiration from Pirates of the Carribean (2003 game), FTL: Faster Than Light, and Sid Meier's Pirates although the style of it and the gameplay does seem like they're trying to stay as unique as possible. Check out the trailer below:

Reading through their updates, I like the fact that they're being careful to include certain graphical options to enable lower-end computers to play it smoothly, which is fantastic to see.
They say it's easy to pick up and play, but naturally it has challenges to it that will require a bit of thought. You can chat to people and discover the history of each island, there's cut-scenes to help bring the world to life and plenty of random events while you're travelling at sea.

Quoting: SebastianNigroIf you play the game for yourself and experience some of the late-game combat, you'll understand why the minimum specs are what they are.Thanks for stopping by.
You need to put some of that stuff in the trailer. Nobody goes and buys a game about piracy on the high seas because they were impressed with the squeaky-clean shops in the towns.
Hope it isn't built with permadeath , or they at least make it optional.
Quoting: razing32Sounds interesting.

It has persistent saving but no permadeath. You just get returned to the last island you were on. So you lose at most, a few minutes of progress.[quote=Purple Library Guy]

Unfortunately since the game is in early access the current trailer reflects how the game looked/played on day one release. Once again manpower is a huge limitation. I can produce another trailer but it would require another 6-8 hours which is an entire work day. We plan to update the trailer soon but for now we aren't entirely focused on sales as much as we are on the game's development. We want to further improve the game for now and when we feel it is ready for a bigger audience we will absolutely create a new trailer.
At worst right now you are purchasing a game that runs better, has more than 6x the content, supports Linux, and has some improved features when compared to the current trailer.
