Hello there! The weekly Friday Livestream is happening (unsurprisingly) today and I'd just like to remind everyone that there's a chance to enjoy some live Linux gaming with you as your host. Just in case you are interested. No hard feelings if you're not.

Contraption Maker came to Linux with the Humble Indie Bundle 14 back in 2015. I was gifted a copy some time ago and finally found some time to play it.

Today I took a look at 'Asura' a brand new hack 'n' slash title that's inspired by Indian mythology.

Looks like the Wine developers consider the Multi-threaded command stream for Direct3D good enough now, as it's in Wine 2.6.

Yet another chance to get some great games for much cheaper, as Feral Interactive are doing a big Easter sale.

The big new DLC for Cities: Skylines named Mass Transit is set to arrive on May 18th and they have a slick new trailer for it.

The developers of the beautiful action platformer Rise & Shine have posted on Steam to note that the Linux version is ready, it's just waiting on final approval from the publisher.

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.

BRAIN / OUT is a free to play 2D side-scrolling online shooter, it looks good, so I tested it out for a while to see if it's worth your time too.

La-Mulana, the free roaming exploration platformer has had a Linux version since early last year on Steam, but now GOG have it too.

It seems UNIGINE have Vulkan firmly in their sights to support it this year, which means their recently released Superposition benchmark could gain support for it too.

ONRAID is a self-proclaimed “challenging 2D shooter” that is heavy on the multiplayer component despite having a lot that you can do by yourself. It’s recently gone free-to-play so I gave it a look to see if it was any good.

Jupiter Hell, a project I personally backed is really showing how to do a Kickstarter properly in terms of Linux support and open communication.

If fighting hordes of enemies with fancifully implausible-but-shooty ranged and melee weapons is what you desire in life, Woodpunk might satiate the need. The developers have recently announced Linux support and are looking for enough votes on Greenlight to proceed.

Crawl is a local multiplayer dungeon crawler, where your friends can control the monsters and it's actually pretty good.

Brawl of Ages is a free to play online 1on1 fast-paced strategy game that recently launched with Linux support. It's being published by S2 Games, who created Strife with a new developer BNA Studios taking the helm.

Minecraft 1.12 development is well under way now and a few development snapshots have been released with some fun new additions. Parrots will be found in many different colours and it sounds fun.

Welcome to another Wednesday Madness here at GOL. Another quick look at some good deals you shouldn't pass up!

The newest benchmarking test by Unigine Corp shows off their UNIGINE 2 engine and rather impressive visuals. Get ready to push your GPUs hard!

Cosmic Star Heroine, an indie 2D RPG about saving the galaxy has delayed the Linux version. Another in a long list, sadly.
