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

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).

Quoting: enzThe 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.

How about Limbo e.g.?

insurgency - it's really addictive... I don't even like multiplayer games... but this one is something special. I love the maps more than anything.
GRID autosport - not a real simulation but great AI
Next month when i'll have the time i'll play firewatch and HITMAN

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. :)
