Between 2024-01-24 and 2024-01-31 there were 29 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 365 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 7.9 % of total released titles. This week I find Into the Necrovale appealing as it reminds me somehow of the Gauntlet of old!
