What have you been playing on Linux recently and what do you think about it?

I have been playing PAYDAY2 a lot and when not I am playing Tropico 5. I have many other games more, but I always end up playing one of those.

Stellaris, Torchlight 2. Dominions 4. Stellaris is complex and easy to get into, Torchlight 2 satisfies my grinding desires, and Dominions 4 is the best TBS ever.

Stellaris, Dota 2, OpenRA.

I have been trying to play some Stasis, but it's currently too broken to take it seriously. The atmosphere is excellent, I'm really looking forward to having a functional build.

Other than that the PS4 has been taking up my spare time, but I won't talk about that. :-)

Broken Stellaris???
WTF????!!

American Truck Simulator. I love this game (BTW, it's currently on sale at instant-gaming.com). Unfortunately, it has become a bit crashy for me (also ETS2). I play it on an Intel IGP and recently upgraded from Haswell to Skylake, maybe it's a driver issue.

I also play FTL nearly every other day. I now win about 60 percent of the games on level hard and it is still interesting. Probably the game with the highest replay value I have played so far.

And I play a quick game of SuperTuxKart very often, now that they have fixed most of the issues with their new engine.

Did you guys heared about agents of mayhem by volition? Do you think this game will come to Steam OS/Linux?

so what we gather from here:

Payday 2 is quite popular.

CSGO, DOta2 and War Thunder are played a lot as well


and that people still need to use wine

7 Days to Die. It's similar to Civ V because it's a time machine. I open the game and suddenly its 6 hours later.

and that people still need to use wine

Yeah because many titles maybe dont appear never as native

Now I'm playing Dead Island Definitive Edition, works great.
I mostly play:
- Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (+Afterbirth DLC)
- CS: GO
- Garry's mod
- Dying Light (100% played, but I still play it for fun)
- TF2
- ARK: Survival Evolved
(this list is too long but I'm too lazy to fill it)

I'm using these games as a benchmark:
- Tomb Raider(2013)
- Metro: Last Light Redux

I'm having some trouble with these games (native + Wine)
- Nexuiz(steam, wine)
- Crysis 2(wine, works only dx9, stuttering)
- DragonBall: Xenoverse(wine, works but no sound)
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim(wine, works but no sound)
- SNOW(native, does not start at all)
- other games what I want to run wine, is impossible (dark souls, gta v, just cause 2, battlefield 4 etc...)

Curiously in my case have sound in both dragon ball xenoverse and skyrim

However i compile wine (i386 only) in each release (around wine 1.9.8 all dependencies are satisfied: gstreamer-base-plugins-dev are solved)

In before versions (1.7.55 and before) various games have problems with sound

Dark Souls in regular wine have serious flickering problem, however staging solve this issue in various titles

Minecraft with mods. Great as always until Windows 10 Minecraft will take over

Most often played in the last month: Close between League of Legends (WINE) and Ark: Survival of the Fittest. I enjoy competitive games. It would be nice if Riot Games would support Linux, but until then: no tux, no bux.

Other games I have played in the last month: Agar.io, Ark: Survival Evolved, Bastion, Civilization V, Dota 2, Factorio, Hotline Miami, Seven Kingdoms: Ancient Adversaries (Thanks for open-sourcing), Slither.io, Torchlight II, Unepic, Unturned

Undertale through wine

I've played Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth + Rising Tide DLC. The game is very good and challenging. Combat is much simpler than Civ 5 and makes wars more balanced. Love how you can build cities on the water!
I've also played Pillars of Eternity, havn't finished that one. And Hand of Fate, stuck on last story level. It's a bit hard. ^^

I've just been playing Tomb Raider 2013 lately, but after I have completed that I will go onto yes it is an old game, but it is full of atmosphere and the game is Fahrenheit, Originally out on the PS2 but got a Windows and Linux HD remake. Then after I have finished that I will go on to conquer the massively fun ODDWORLD New N Tasty remake, which is 3D and 2D combined. Then will have to try my hand at Dying Light, once I have some spare cash, but before that Left For Dead 2 will have to be completed, shame we can't have the first one, but hey ho. Then just to calm down from all the zombie killing we'll go onto Grim Fandango Remastered.

These games above, apart from Dying Light are all the Linux games I own at the moment, real life gets in the way unfortunately.

My dream would be stranded on an Island with just me my future wife, Totally unlimited free broadband, my Linux Computer but upgraded to a super computer with around 80,000 Quad Core processors that all run as one massive processor the latest in Graphic Card technologies 100,000GB of gaming Ram, 68 trillion TB and a nice Cinema screen sized monitor, to play my games on through Linux of course, I can but dream.

Dead Island DE/Saints Row The Third/Dirt Showdown/BioShock Infinite/The Witcher 2
