By

Between 2024-12-04 and 2024-12-11 there were 20 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 124 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 16.1 % of total released titles. Again a slow week, but there’s one gem, Gridroad, that lets you plan for road structures to ensure that the traffic flows as smoothly as possible.

There have been many games in the genre but Gridroad seems to be equipped with an excellent and very intuitive UI.
