Well now, it's been quite some time since I asked a direct question to my readers. Here we are once again, as I open up the floor to you.
What have you been playing on Linux lately and what do you think about it?
Personally, I've been testing out Sudden Strike 4 which releases with day-1 Linux support tomorrow. I'm going to be livestreaming a preview of it in about 10 minutes on our Twitch channel. So far, so good and I will have more thorough thoughts on it at release! Remember to keep an eye on the sidebar, as it list the next livestream and this page where you can see our schedule.
I also decided to dive in at the deep end with The Long Dark story mode, but I have to say so far it seems quite disappointing. The story feels a little boring and some of the mechanics have been annoying me quite a lot. I've lost a few campfires that I desperately needed trying to go to the pause menu quickly, but instead it just stops making my campfire — annoying. I will have more thoughts to share when I've finished the first episode, the sandbox mode is great though.
Also, a shout out to the Putt-Putt games, as my son recently completed Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo in an hour, with very little help. He loves it, so if you have kids and they might like short adventure games I highly recommend the series. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

1. GZDoom with some mods and addons (e.g. Action Doom 2).
2. Stalker with Pripyat Starting Point addon. Using Wine of course.
I just like classics.

All the Shadowrun Returns Games. Wonderful stuff!
Borderlands 2 Yay!
Doom 2016 Works very well with WINE
7 Days To Die Been playing on a server with my friends, and they are very impressed with my use of Linux.
Minecraft It is just very relaxing for me on single player.
Looking forward to:
Star Citizen (One day, eh?)
XCOM 2 (Once I get bored with my other games)

DiRT Rally: One of my most anticipated games on Linux, and love playing it. Finally got a better handle on the driving - I used to avoid the Greece courses, now they are some of my favorites.
Flinthook: Ok little game, but one of those I play primarily because the controls feels good and I can play in short sessions.
Hyper Light Drifter: I really need to complete this game, because I won't start 'Hollow Knight' before I do...

I've recently finished Life is Strange, quite a good game in my opinion but might not be for everyone. I'm also picking up TF2 again, after having not played it for quite a while.
