PayPalSince the weekends are generally our quiet time, as I take them to spend a little time with family I'm asking a question: What have you been playing and what do you think?
I've been spending more time than I was expecting in Rust. It's strange really, as it's a game I previously didn't get along with at all and now I'm quite hooked on it.
Not everyone will agree with me on this, but I actually think Rust is one of the nicest looking games on Linux. Sure, there's a good bunch that are better, but there's been many moments in Rust where I have to completely stop and just take in the view. That's in-between all the moments of absolute panic when someone fires shots at me and I have no idea where they are.
I want to share this image I took recently too, from a little meet up we did on our server:
We ended up having some sort of in-game concert and it was rather amusing. What makes it even more interesting, is that community member woox2k managed to hook up some scripts (available on GitHub) to play custom music files in game with the guitars and it was incredible.
If you want to join us on our Rust server, details of our game servers are here.
Anyway, less of my ramblings, over to you! Tell us what you've been playing in the comments.

Been playing rive and neon chrome from one of the deals featured here on GoL. Both are good fun.

I'm currently playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (native) and Skies of Arcadia: Legends (using Dolphin) on my Youtube channel. Other than that, I'm playing a lot of Everspace and Beholder (when I get a quiet moment).
On non-Linux fronts, I've just started the original Persona on my PSVita, and have just about completed Steins;Gate Zero (couple of non-true endings left to get). I've just picked up Stardew Valley on my switch, as well as the expansion pack for Zelda. On my PS4, I've just started a survival playthrough of Skyrim (using the free survival mode mod they're currently giving away through Creation Club). I have a preordered copy of South Park: Fractured But Whole coming for PS4 at some point this month (finally!), and since I've never played the original (never had a PS3), I'll be playing that through first.

It happened to me the same with Borderlands 2. At the begining it was just a good game but when I finished the story mode and got the option to start the game again with more dificulty I started to get addicted.
Also I'm playing Hollow Knight, it's an amazing game. I tought it will be a good game but it's way better.

Playing Secret of Mana again right now and enjoying it as much as 20 years ago.
I played a lot of Wild Terra after the key toss here. Had a hard time clicking, the mouse actions are certainly weird there. Stopped playing after 58 hours because you cannot advance on your own after a certain point and the PVE server is mostly abandoned.
Was wishing Orborun to be a new kind of Marble Blast or Super Monkey Ball, but it is not even close. Very limited controls. Stupid wall bounce mechanic. Collision detection on items seems wonky, too.
Got Shoppe Keep gifted and gave it a go. Very shallow gameplay.
Played about half an hour of Back to Bed and think I will get back to it later on. Puzzles have been very easy, but it is kind of addicting.
Some time ago I was playing a lot of Ziggurat and love that game. Still trying to get the speedrun achievement ;)
Would have loved to play The Whispered World, but it won't play nice and keeps crashing.
Other than that I still fire up Dwarf Fortress every now and then.

Quoting: gojulTried TW3 and still does not work for me. Will try later.
Feel free to describe what's not working in TW3 thread. It should work now both for Mesa and Nvidia blob.

Native there is nothing to play that I haven't played a million times. I keep checking here every day in hopes that something decent will be released on linux. I haven't found a really good game to play since Civ 6 but it seems that everything getting ported these days are shovelware or strategy games.
On wine it seems that you have to sacrifice a new born kitten to get anything to work even with the walkthroughs. Unless you like Witcher 3 or games that came out 6 years ago there is nothing that really works on wine anymore. After Steam switched to 2.12 to be able to run, everything is broken. I have a Steam account that only has games that run in wine but after 2.12 out of 120 only 5 of them work. Overwatch running in wine is a joke. The only game that I really care for playing in wine is Dark Souls 3 and now with the new wine updates even though it wasn't playable before is even less playable. I am loyal to Linux and i refuse to go back to windows but i am tired of the only updates to wine being them trying to get the sky in Witcher 3 to look right.
That being said the games i have been playing native are civ 6 and salt & sanctuary and the wine games i have been playing are Dark Souls 2 and Fallout New Vegas (but it is like pulling teeth to get them to work)

Recently I've been testing Linux builds of Crashlands, Regions of Ruin and SPICY MEATBALL. I've also played a bit of Oblivion through wine and started a LP of Wasteland 2.

Currently I´ve started playing the two expansions for Tyranny, that is called: "Tales from the Tiers" and "Bastard´s Wound". I´m also playing Broken Sword - Director´s Cut and doing occasional runs on Everspace (really eager for the expansion).

Quoting: deadlinux...as well as the newest DOOM, but it's pc only thus farA PC is what you run Linux, Unix, Windows or any other kind of OS on. :P
As for games, well, mostly sticking to console lately. Got in a bit of a bind and need to sell some console games. Planning my last "so-bad-its-good" playthrough of Star Fox Adventures with my roomies. ^_^ Also played some of the Challenge Levels of Pikmin 2 for the first time, not sure I'm having fun with being timed... :/ Tried to remember how to get the All-Night Mask in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, but I think I fucked it up already.
Also a bit of Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup recently. Been trying to work with Ru as a god so far, but haven't really settled on what race/class to be with it yet.

I've been using Wine with Diablo 3. I really don't know why they don't make a native version of this game. It's sad, really.

Started playing Hollow Knight, and although I kinda suck at it, it's loads of fun! The visuals are very detailed and nice, the art style is creative. It reminds me of Ori and the Blind Forest, but different.
