A.N.N.E
A Platformer and Shmup hybrid with RPG elements that looks seriously slick. Looks like it will have some decent places to explore.

J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars
A visually stunning looking adventure and puzzle game with an awesome space/sci-fi theme. They have been greenlit too so It will be on Steam.

Ray's The Dead
Take control of a zombie in this amusing looking game, a story driven mix of action, puzzles and more.

Enemy Starfighter
Enemy Starfighter puts you in the cockpit of the universe's most mobile and lethal interceptor and also puts you in command of an elite fleet of Imperial warships.
It looks and sounds like a modern-day Freespace, I hope it's as awesome as it sounds.

Most of these look really good!

One thing to note is that Defender's Quest 2 will look quite a lot different (better!!) from the original (see the sole screenshot on the linked page). DQ1 is really worth the money, but you can get it free if you pre-order DQ2. I normally don't much care for tower-defense type games and the art style looked really, um, MS Paint-y, but they did something really right with the gameplay because trying the demo turned into an insta-buy, and just thinking about it makes me glad the weekend is about to start. Personally, I'm looking forward to the sequel more than most of the other games in the list.

(No, they didn't pay me to praise it, and I'm not affiliated with them at all.)

Yo're forgetting tropico 5! It should be available in a 2-3 months.

Apparently not the best known series, but imo a great one. I've spent countless hours on tropico 4, which runs really well through wine.

*sigh*, do I really need a disclaimer on every post that covers a few things...:P

I didn't forget, there are 100s of games I have missed out to keep the post from being 100 pages long.

I hope to see more than that this year, Linux needs a big push in 2014 while it's still relevant in people's mind for gaming, otherwise it will slip into neckbeard oblivion once again sadly. :*(

Tesla Effect, the kickstarted new Tex Murphy adventure, will also be out soon – judging by the newest update video in April:

I don't know if the Linux version will be out simultaneously with the Windows and Mac version but I think it won't be too long afterwards.

A bit OT! But I'm so upset about Humble Bundle right now.

This IDIOTS have removed Amazon Payment & Google for European Users with introducing that **** of regional pricing **** in the humble store.

SOMA is high on my "Looking forward" list as well, but the little life-action teaser clips actually made me wish it was an FMV game. :/

Luckily, it looks like the new Tex Murphy game will fill all my need for cheesy FMV ham. :D

And then's the RPG trifecta of Wasteland 2, Divinity: Original Sin and Pillars of Eternity announced for this year (altough I'd bet that the latter will be pushed to 2015). And in 2015, Torment: Tides of Numenera. :)

Also (apart from the onces you already named): Unrest, Harvest, The Maker's Eden, Gods Will Be Watching, Tangiers, Among the Sleep, Dreamfall Chapters, Lords of Xulima, The Diviner, ...

Damn, that's really quite a lot...

Limit Theory (http://ltheory.com/) looks very interesting and already has high graphical fidelity, procedurally generated spaceships, planets, universe, etc.

Ooooh! I bought X:COM Enemy Unknown for Windows last year and it only a matter of time before it shows up in my Steam queue! Besides that, there's War For The Underworld (still in bedrock beta), Wasteland 2, Pillars of Eternity, and Torment coming(all Kickstarted games)this year.

2013 was The Year Of Linux Gaming. 2014 is when the floodgates open.

Dreamfall will be out in 2014 be waiting for this game for years.
Defently one of the biggest games on linux in 2014.
