It's been a while since I put a question to the community, so here it is! What are you currently playing and what do you think about it?
I'm still very fond of Ballistic Overkill and recently Insurgency, still a big FPS fan myself and that will never change.
For Ballistic Overkill, it's the simple pleasures here. It's accessible, we never have problems finding a game and the performance is fantastic.
Insurgency is a different matter, as it's difficult, much more realistic and really quite fun to do the co-op mode.
Highly recommend them both.
While I'm here, just to let you know every Monday we will be doing what we decided to call "Ballistic Monday" where we hop on Twitch to livestream Ballistic Overkill and more. Everyone is welcome to join. Keep an eye on our livestream schedule for the info. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Civilization VI
Great game. Terrible performance. I hope Aspyr can get the performance issues sorted out.

I have been very sad, since I don't own a PS4 and I refuse to buy one - I watched a playthrough of Horizon: Zero Dawn on YouTube. I played the demo at EGX and was very impresses - wanted to know the story line - I wasn't disappointed

Quoting: WorMzyAlas, the Switch. :S:
It's hella fun, particularly LoZ.
Another one here playing the Switch and LoZ. Rather surprised, in a good way, with both game and console!
On Linux I'm playing Moebius: An Empire Rising. Don't know whether is because I have a thing for Jane Jensen's work or just my understanding in graphic adventures is crap, but definitely liking it and much more than most of the reviewers.
Have The Talos Principle around 50% of completion although got a bit tired of puzzles and might leave it on hold for a bit.
Also started Batman Arkham Asylum again under Wine before the Switch was delivered... Obviously this one is on hold too.

Obviously this one is on hold too.I need to figure out how to make those games work in Wine, because the Arkham games pretty much the only ones I really miss since making a clean break from Windows (that and, believe it or not, LEGO The Lord of the Rings). Last time I tried getting Arkham Asylum to work in Wine, it failed miserably. The game wouldn't even start.

Moon Hunters. A lovely action roguelite in a mythical setting with a lot of quirky narrative flavor, very fun both solo and in co-op with friends.
Torment: Tides of Numenera. Doesn't quite live up to its hype (even specifically just its own) in my opinion but is nonetheless engaging, original and interesting.
Expeditions: Conquistador. A fantastic turn-based narrative-driven RPG / management game that gets everything right.

I've just completed Shadwen (100% acheivements, all endings). I wasn't really sure about it for the first ten minutes of play - the "time moves when you move" mechanic in a third person world took some getting used to, and the grappling hook mechanics aren't fully explained at the start. Once I'd grasped the "think before you press a key" moves and discovered how to reverse time, the game is really interesting (although I'm convinced that some of the guards are short sighted as I casually slaughtered one only twenty paces from another). First run through I went completely stealth, no kills. Second run was 100% bloody. I'm glad I did it this order because the chatting guards often provide interesting information. In the second run, all I got out of them was muffled gargles and the occasional splat.
I've also finished Mad Max (100% camps, memorabilia, enemies, cars). That played really well but the story takes a dark turn near the end, just when things look like there might be Hope.
For lighter moments, Broforce and Rocket League still get regular play.

Natively on Linux I've been playing Starbound: It's pretty good.
On my PS Vita I've started a hard run of Persona 3 Portable, and I'm discovering the joy of using items in battle.
And finally I've also been playing a bunch of Neverwinter Nights 2 modules under Wine. The Warlock class in NWN2 is a lot more interesting than its P&P counterpart (due in part to video games not sticking to the recommended 4 encounters/day).

I had a decent gaming start to the year by finishing/beating/clocking Talos, XCOM:EU, Plague Inc, Mini Metro, Mirror's Edge, and Refunct. All within January. But I'm stuck on Hand of Fate now, have been since early Feb, and I can't for the life of me beat The Dealer. I would have put about 30 runs in to him so far. The curses that stack up at each dungeon level are a killer. I'm too stubborn to retire it and move on to the next game, so I'm counting on the satisfaction at getting past him making all this time spent seem worthwhile.

Tyranny (after I quit overclocking my CPU and eliminated the hard crash which locked me up totally), and Torment:Tides of Numenara, and, when I think of it, Pillars of Eternity.
I'm deep into the first act of Torment
, and feel like I have already read a novella, which is how I like it.
I fell stuck in Tyranny; I can't go anywhere else on the map, and the same is true of Pillars.:><:
