I'm not entirely sure if this is an accidental slip, or if Feral Interactive are preparing to release Medieval II: Total War on Linux, but their radar updated today to say Medieval II: Total War is out on Mac and Linux, but it's currently not. UPDATED.

Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) is a beautiful looking atmospheric puzzle platformer about finding the source of a never-ending blizzard. Looks like it will come to Linux now too!

Company of Heroes 2 has also been updated today, and the main changes are balance fixes and general Linux fixes.

Good news AMD CPU fans, Feral Interactive has released a patch for Alien Isolation which should help you a little bit. There's other fixes too.

The Steam Controller keeps on getting better and better, the latest update is pretty fancy too. You can now take your custom configurations with you, and customize the turn on and turn off sound as well as the brightness of the Steam button. You can also now share non-Steam game configs.

SteamDB is a bit like a drug for some of us waiting on games, and today my usual check-in resulted in finding PAYDAY 2 with some nice looking Linux additions.

These are the types of projects I can really get behind. Much like CosixTH for Theme Hospital, openage is aiming to be a full open source engine for Age of Empires II.

Element has impressed me quite a lot, with some impressive visuals, quick games that you don't need hours for and it's really quite accessible.

AMD are stepping up their open source game again, as they have announced GPUOpen to rival Nvidia's GameWorks.

Shiness, a successfully crowd-funded RPG game has release a new teaser trailer, and it looks fantastic.

Magicka 2 seems like a pretty cool game, and great that we now have it on Linux too. The idea of battling away by casting spells is quite cool, and this new DLC looks insane.

Warsow, a rather stylish and free online shooter hit the big 2.0 release recently, and it seems to be pretty good.

Here's an easy way to get some money off, simply use the code Linux5OFF on our Games Republic store to get a bonus 5% off.

The games store Itch has released the first proper public version of their own store client like Steam and GOG Galaxy, but simply named "Itch". It's open source too, so that's cool.

The last livestream we did was easily one of the most hilarious times I've had gaming on Linux, thanks in part to Feral Interactive for porting GRID Autosport, and also because we played with viewers who drive dirty.

Albion Online is already looking like a massive success, and their recently released statistics give me hope for it.

Oh boy, here we go. SMACH Z is a portable Steam Machine running SteamOS that will be powered by an AMD embedded low-powered SoC.

Idol Hands is a strategy game where you gradually take over the world by guiding your people and defeating other gods. It doesn't have the best reviews, but the patch that came with the Linux version may sway a few to change their reviews I think.

I'm not a big survival fan, but even I think Hurtworld looks pretty damned good. Hurtworld is a hardcore multiplayer survival FPS with a focus on deep survival progression that doesn't become trivial once you establish some basic needs.

Sheltered is one indie game I think will become pretty big, and their new update and video shows why I think this.
