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

Eschalon Book1, very nice rpg. And the alwais present league of legends

I'm very busy right now with other things. I have a lot of music I'm supposed to learn and practice on my ocarinas for a mixed ensemble that roped me into playing with them. So, I feel a bit guilty when I devote time to playing a game when I don't have that music learned yet.

However, most recently I've been playing Victor Vran. It's a Diablo/Torchlight type game. It's really quite good as this type of game goes (though some of the challenges require an annoying amount of perfection). The art is quite impressive and it's interesting so far.

Of course the list of games in my queue goes up much faster than I play through them. I have a number of good games that I haven't gotten around to playing yet, but I still am tempted to buy more when I encounter a good deal or a particularly interesting game.

I should really finish Hard West - I got to one of the endings of the main campaign, but I still have to complete the side story and the DLC. I keep getting distracted though, sometimes by old favourites - I am also two chapters into Blood II: The Chosen through WINE at the moment.

For me, it's Transport Fever, 7 Days To Die (On a great multiplayer server), and Rocket League. I also just received a free copy of Civilization VI via an RX 480 video card purchase and am looking forward to getting lost in it as well...time permitting.

Despite the usual CSGO and Rocket League, I played a lot of Hitman. I finished 4 Episodes so far. Along with Life is Strange this has been the best singleplayer experience for a long time. Hitman with its sandbox-like approach is so much fun to play. The replayability of the levels is so high that I played a single episode all day over and over again trying to do all the different assissinations and challenges.

With one baby of few months, hard to play for me (one hour max per day, and only when he is sleeping, so no immersive games...don't do child :-P ) : Chivalry, Unreal Tournament 2017 (last mode with flag is excellent!), Civ 6 (but I found it is too slow and limitative in its gameplay mechanics to enjoy, I still prefer Civ 5!)

I would play if I have more time: Mordheim with my skaven squad (even if half the pack is handicapped!), finish Pillar of Eternity, Okhlos: Omega and XCom2:long war, begin to understand Total War Warhammer (wow! I tried to understand one hour...f**k that sounds complicated and confused!) and discover Alien:isolation I buyed on Feral Thanks to new here ^^

My son of twelve plays Civ 6 (but he has the same feeling as me and played yesterday on civ 5!), Rimworld and Heroes of M&M 2

On windows boot, I still play Everspace to unwind and Ghost of a Tale at four hands with my son of twelve. I dream that those two ones come to be ported on linux!
On Android, Kingdom Rush series (all finished yet but still funny to replay), jewel legend and Punch quest

I don't know MadMax and I would love to buy it on Feral but ... in my situation, is it serious? ... out of fundind Feral for lovely future ports? ^^

@g000h Flying Wild Hog HQ that Linux gamers play their games *BECAUSE* I really want them to hurry up and release Shadow Warrior 2 on Linux. Come on guys, pleeeeeese!

Yep, I don't know Shadow warrior but since the 2 is out, I would also love to try it ... I need more lives IRL

With one baby of few months

Congratulations!

Man, you could have really told that some months ago...! :p

Babies and children are best and funnier video games ever! :-PPP
And when they grow up, they even play and talk video games with you on their own linux machine they love tinkering! They enjoy fixing stuff with you on computers, with servomotors and raspberry pi, gardening with you, fixing stuff on car, tinkered sail and house, etc. while always laughing and making hugs. But yeeeees, the cost is definitely 2 years of sleep-and-personal-activities deficit... :-D

i buy other games but i play only rocket league :|

I have a Laptop 5-7 years old with an i5 and an NVIDIA 525M so I cant play any descent games.

(I think I should make a request to Liam to create a list for games that crappy computers can play)

Supper Games for shitty computers! :P

Anyway is ok , actually I am extremely busy these days with work and I dont even play any game on PS4.
Also I have realized that PC > Consoles any time any day. (if only exclusive tittles were not so exclusive :P)

Well happy gaming to all... ;)

I play (a lot) to Hearthstone.

No native version but it works perfectly well with Playonlinux/Wine.

This are the games I played in the last 2 weeks.
By reading through the posts here, it looks like nobody else played one of those games lately.
XPlane 11 beta
X Rebirth
AdVenture Capitalist Not sure this one counts as a game at all.
Dominions 4
Romopolis
Factorio
FortressCraft Evolved

Torment: Tides of Numenera, and Gun (Wine).

The Witcher 2. I bought it a while ago on a sale because it was dirt-cheap and I had heard that they had resolved the performance issues with their wrapper, but I only recently found the time to play it. So far I like it: good performance, only a few occasional crashes (that might not even be related to Linux), and even if the gameplay is not perfect, the story, graphics and atmosphere are very enjoyable.

You should play the first one too then (Wine). The atmosphere there is even better IMHO.

Night In The Woods.

It resonates a lot with how I feel these days. It's a lot like Undertale.

There's still this list full of small and big games:

Ark on GOL server. Lots of fun!

I've been struck by a desire to replay some of the older games in my library again, so I've been playing things like Torchlight II, Osmos, and Defense Grid 2. Plus Europa Universalis IV and Team Fortress 2.

Though just this week I happened to think of a really old game from 2006 that I used to play called Dodge That Anvil!. It's not on Steam, and has no Linux version, so I installed Wine, installed it, and it (to my amazement) Just Worked™. It's a cute, comedic game where you play a rabbit trying to harvest vegetables for your warren from fields while a stream of anvils rains from the sky trying to squish you, so you have to dodge them as you're running around. You also have a number of gadgets you can get to help you out, and there's a surprisingly long story mode where it turns out the anvils are actually being dropped by invading aliens from the moon, so you have to go to the moon to stop them, and there are a lot of different mechanics that show up over the course of the game, and…well, it's really a pretty good game. I'm hoping to start recording a Let's Play of it this evening, actually. :)
