What are you playing this weekend?

By -

It's the weekend already? It's also September! When did that happen?

This weekend's main dish is going to be Two Point Hospital, the recent release that has you build a hospital and cure people from some really strange and slightly amusing afflications. So far it seems pretty good and runs really nicely. I will have some proper thoughts up early next week on that!

I've no doubt I will also be diving into some more BlazeRush (70% off on Humble) and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (60% off on Humble). Both of which I'm loving in local multiplayer with the mini-me.

Doom in Steam Play is also on the radar. I have to say I am really impressed with it, some good demon slaying to be had. The Vulkan performance is nuts, so smooth!

So the question is: what are you playing this weekend? Do let us know what you think about it!

Skyrim on Linux :-)

Which Skyrim version are you guys using? I was thinking of getting the Legendary Edition.


I'm with Liam on 2. Hospital and slaying demons. Btw Doom runs smoothly for me even on OpenGL.

Hollow Knight, the last game for which I fall in love (if I find time, I have to install Ubuntu on a friend's laptop and switch from Ubuntu 16.04 to Kubuntu 18.04 on my main PC I use for work and gaming... so, many software re-installations on the way)! :)

Chaos Reborn, Dirt Rally and maybe a little Endless Space 2(proton)

I've been playing Mass Effect using Steam Play. For the most part, it's worked well. There have been a few crashes, but I think that's probably just the game rather than Proton.

I'm also playing The Long Dark and Two Point Hospital natively on Linux. Long Dark is always good fun, and Two Point is a very familiar-feeling game. I've only completed the first hospital so far, getting it to three stars, but I'm having a great time with it.

Crazy Justice! :D

Yeah, funny. Practically I think this weekend will turn out to be Two Point Hospital and Graveyard Keeper.

GTA V.

Yes, it runs on Steam Play/Proton :D

Needs a workaround to make it start, and it occasionally starts stuttering after a while, but overall it's a pretty smooth experience.

Total War: Warhammer II with Proton.
I just couldn't wait for the release. =x

Mostly Two Point Hospital.

Also some catching up thanks to Steam Play/Proton: The Witness, Inside and I'm replaying Prince of Persia 2008.

Already owned PoP but it's on sale atm for $3.39 for those interested. It's a great game. Two things to enjoy it on Linux: Enable vsync in the game's launcher to get past the title screen and if using a Steam Controller do an XBox pad emulation with the well known sc-controller.

I'll be continuing my playthrough of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, which I recently got as a gift. It's a well executed remaster of a PS2-era 3D platformer with two unique playable characters and plenty to see and do. The Linux release seems pretty much flawless. Well worth playing if you can handle the occasional awkwardness inherent to the genre. Just don't give up before you finish the tutorial like Samsai did. :P

I'm also liable to help my Linux buddies lose a few Rocket League matches, and I really should finish my Dirt Rally GOL league run as well.

If I'm not feeling quite up for action, Deponia Doomsday will provide a satisfactory point-and-click adventure fix.

How? I've seen footage of it running on Linux, but couldn't find anything to tell me how to get past that Social Club loading.

Mostly oldschool (WotLK) WoW on a private server via Wine. Probably not going to be doing much native Linux gaming for a couple more weeks.

The classic one with all DLCs and high res texture pack.

Hitman. So much more Hitman.
