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.

Sumoman is confirmed to be coming to Linux and after watching the trailer I'm officially sold on it. We do have a great variety of platformers, but the physics at play here looks hilarious.

I only wrote about signs of Fossil Echo finally coming to Linux yesterday, but it has already seen a release!

Doing my usual perusing of SteamDB while something is uploading or compiling I came across Fossil Echo. A game that was supposed to be on Linux quite some time ago, but it looks like it's finally happening.

Polyball is quite a weird game to describe really, as you're just controlling a ball and racing along platforms across various levels. That doesn't sound like much, but it's actually pretty fun.
