Base-building, tower defense and digging — Lumencraft has it all
Lumencraft is a pretty gorgeous top-down blending of base-building, where you need to set up defensive towers and a whole lot of digging. Developed with full Linux and Steam Deck support using Godot Engine, it's easily one of my indie favourites from this year and it just left Early Access as a full game.

Your Only Move Is HUSTLE gets a Linux version
Your Only Move Is HUSTLE, a very popular online turn-based fighting game and super-powered fight scene simulator now has Linux support. On Steam, it has an Overwhelmingly Positive rating from over 4,000 user reviews. The new Native Linux build landed on March 2nd in a short announcement, seems this was to get it working better on Steam Deck where it has a Steam Deck Playable rating with multiple issues noted.

Counter-Strike 2 is reportedly a real thing and coming soon
There's been a whole lot of rumours appearing lately that seem quite credible, with Counter-Strike 2 apparently due soon. It's not entirely clear if this is a full new game, or a big upgrade for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive but either way it's pretty exciting for FPS fans.
