GOL Asks: What have you been playing recently?

Xcom2; after I finished Xcom enemy within;


i really dont have too much time for gaming and an ever expanding backlog of games to play! Am looking forward to Stellaris though that will be my next buy I reckon.

Since White March II came out, I've only been playing Pillars of Eternity. Awesome game!

Oh, and some split screen Grid Autosport with my nieces when they were visiting.

I've been playing through Wasteland 2. I got it because I like the genre, but held off on installing it for a long time afterward because the post-apocalyptic setting wasn't interesting to me. A couple months ago I finally did install it, and recognized pretty quickly what a mistake I had made in waiting. The RPG elements make the game so much more than the standard turn-based tactics games I've normally played.

Almost entirely Factorio, although Faeria might steal away my gaming hours to come.

Mainly Star Ruler 2, Star Drive 2, a little bit X3, and Civ V.
Oh - and Factorio of course :)

Olli Olli 2
NOT A HERO
BIT.TRIP Presents... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien
Torchlight 2

Enjoyed every one of them.

Games i have played recently: Stories of Bethem: Full Moon Edition, The Bug Butcher, Ultratron, Retro City Rampage DX, 9 Clues 2: The Ward.

All good games except 9 Clues 2 which was pretty bad. There are so many new good games for Linux that it's becoming harder to choose what to buy and play. Spoiled for choice, but that's a good thing!

for now it will mainly be Faeria but Civ 5 is always fun, I've played every Civ game since the original on msdos. so it's literally second nature for me to play Civ, lol.
I'm mainly waiting on Starbound and Planet Explorers to get close to completion. Starbound should be reaching the 1.0 version with a month or two. and a lot of people will be surprised at the amount of content going into the 1.0 release. I read their main website for all the dev updates and it's mind boggling at the amount of new stuff and the really cool content that has stemmed from mods that were originally made for Starbound but now have been refined and added by the dev team to the main game.

Punch Club was an interesting break, it being such a casual sort of game was quite relaxing for a change.

I really wished Ino-Co Plus would fix Warlock 2 for linux. as it stands I have purchased the main game and the latest expansion and I've yet to be able to play a full game because of a bug with the dynamic mission system the game has. it's completely random also. because some of the time the missions register and clear fine but then at random times it will not clear the mission and corrupt the save along with an error that causes the game to crash instantly. so basically each game is like a demo for a random 5 to 10 hour period.

Back on Shadow Warrior. I never played it much and I'm currently working through my backlogged games from last year. Shadow warrior is just, dam good.

Sunless Sea
The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendonça & Pizzaboy
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

After XCOM2, I played through "Batman: Arkham Knight"...on windows. Disappointing, since I had held off on playing, waiting for the Linux version to be announced. Still, I felt this was actually the weakest game in the series as far as story & interesting villain antics were concerned. So...maybe not such a big loss for Linux after all.

Right now I'm playing "Dying Light: The Following". THIS, is how a dlc/expansion should be made, tons of quests, huge area to move around and a fairly decent main-story to boot.

Divinity: Original Sin or Shadowrun Hongkong need to wait,
it's Xcom 2 first...!

Brutal Doom

XCOM, Magicka 2 and Rocket League.

Brutal Legend, and Broforce

Recently been playing a lot of Xonotic. A few people I know on IRC put together a server for us newcomers to the game, so it's been a lot of fun. I really miss arena shooters.

Recently "played" through Dear Esther. It's a walking simulator, but the story was 100% better than Gone Home, which I was very disappointed in. Played some Reus, and Dustforce. Really like Dustforce. It's a platform game that let's you compare your score against other players. Now if I could just figure out how to get a controller to work properly with Trine or Super Meat Boy, I could clear out some of this back catalog.

Only Brogue :)

Shadowrun Hong Kong
The Banner Saga
Total War: Attila

Each of them are great games in their own category.

Alien Isolation, Shadow of Mordor, Borderlands 2, Euro Truck Simulator 2 (Promods2 + Rusmap1.6) and , of course, Grid Autosport

I'm finishing up Shadow of Mordor and it's DLC's, Shadow Warrior in hard mode via New Game+, Time Clickers, and playing Borderlands 2 again on the weekends with my friend who hadn't played it yet.
