Take a look at 'The Hunter', another Alien unit coming to XCOM 2: War of the Chosen

A new base defense mission, especially one actually taking place in the Avenger, could be pretty cool.

Trains & Things, a multiplayer focused economic strategy game built on Linux

Any game with such a nice map of the island of Hawaiʻi where I live instantly has my attention, at least. :) (Though the absence of the largest city on the island is a bit puzzling… :huh:)

This kinda reminds me of OpenTTD in theme, except not grid-based. I play that with a friend from time to time, so I'll have to keep an eye on this.

The Templar sounds like the most fun unit yet coming to XCOM 2: War of the Chosen

Seems like Focus is their version of ammo. Or actually, it reminds me of the Engineer from Torchlight II with his charge mechanic, where charges can be consumed to make various skills stronger.

That definitely does look like quite an interesting mission!

Take a look at The Warlock, another new unit coming to XCOM 2: War of the Chosen

Ah, so that's why we're getting what seem like such overpowered soldiers. :)

Starship Theory just launched a Linux version, developer looking for feedback

It actually reminds me more of RimWorld-in-space than FTL, but I can see that comparison too. Though it looks like it's humans-only for now? Anyone know if you can get different alien types?

Golf for Workgroups is a very weird golf game that's now on Linux

The only thing it's done is make me more curious about trying out Golf With Your Friends, which has an active player base and actually looks quite interesting.
If you haven't tried it, it looks like a pretty fun game if you have some friends to play with. (I haven't tried it myself, but I've watched several YouTubers I watch try it out with friends.)

Take a look at 'The Skirmisher' another new unit coming to XCOM 2's War of the Chosen expansion

Quoting: Jannethe new weapons are overpowered and makes things too easy.
As someone who loves reverse difficulty curves that actually sounds like a big plus to me, so thanks! :)

Quoting: JanneI'm a little concerned about game balance to be honest. Alien Hunters really broke that enough that I avoid playing with that DLC.
Do you mean in the player's favor, or against the player? I actually own Alien Hunters from the expansion pass but haven't gotten around to playing with it yet, heh.
