Virtual Programming have release their latest Linux port with 'Putty Squad'. It's a remake of the 1994 platformer that shares the same name, but the updated release has crispier high resolution visuals. VP provided me a copy last night, so here's some thoughts.
This keeps happening to me, I keep writing about something and a day later it's here! Hollow Knight now has a Linux beta build available on Steam.
We certainly aren't short on action platformers, but Nongünz looks like it could easily stand out with the unique visual style.
The latest game from Orangepixel, Meganoid, will launch soon with day-1 Linux support and I have to say for a platform it looks really damn good.
Blazing Chrome is a new co-op run ‘n gun being developed by JoySmasher and they are planning a Linux version.
Unreal Tournament has been updated with much better weapon animations, AI improvements, map updates and more. Here's how to get it running on Linux.
Hollow Knight, an incredibly stylish action and adventure game recently launched for Windows, but it seems Linux gamers won't be left waiting for too long.
When it comes to FPS games based on realism, Linux is in shortly supply. Day of Infamy is another game that, for me, has closed a gap I needed.
Tiles is a simple looking action-puzzle game with 90 levels of ever-increasing difficulty and it's now out for Linux.
The really fun FPS Ballistic Overkill has now officially left Early Access with a patch. The developers have stated they intend to continue adding to it and have major features in development.
Act quick, as Chivalry: Medieval Warfare for today only is free to add to your Steam account. It's a pretty damn good game too.
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.
Guns N' Boxes a game that promised a Linux version during the Greenlight campaign is now looking to put it out after many months waiting. They've asked for willing testers to help out.
Day of Infamy is a very fun FPS from the developers of Insurgency. I've played a little while of it and found it enjoyable and now it's fully released.
The Swindle has a beta Linux client! Even better, it appears to have been well tested since its initial launch back in August 2015 and the most recent feedback is all extremely positive. Here's a short review!
Space Jammers, a game I covered before after being impressed by the early free demo is has continued development and has now had a rather quiet Steam release. UPDATED
I was sent a link to Eitr, as it's an action RPG with some really fantastic art and fun looking combat. I think you will like the look of this too and it's due for release sometime this year.
Overload is another new six-degree-of-freedom shooter on Steam. It's currently in Early Access, but even so it's already very impressive.
World to the West is a colourful and cartoony action adventure game that's a standalone followup to the indie hit Teslagrad. It will release on May 5th and will include Linux support.
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.
