Between 2024-05-15 and 2024-05-22 there were 43 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 399 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 10.8 % of total released titles. There’s two games that I find worth mentioning - first Cyberpulse which is a new addition to the geometric shooter genre, and looks very well done. And then there’s Seablip, mixing the formula of Pirates! of old with a Stardew Valley vibe in 2D.

Here’s a quick pick of all the interesting titles in this week:
