It's question time once again, time to tell the world what you've been playing and let us know if it's worth getting.
I've actually been really enjoying Sid Meier's Civilization VI with the new expansion, it's far more addictive than I originally thought. While I previously got bored with it after a few rounds, that's no longer the case.
The disasters system with climate change adds so much to the game to seriously make it that much more interesting. Soon my English army shall take over what's left of the world…
In regards to the performance of the port (which isn't great in the later game), Aspyr Media did say this on Reddit:
The answer is actually not technical, but simply bandwidth. Frankly, it was a valentines miracle to get Linux out along-side Windows in a playable state that we were happy with AND cross platform. There will be time for optimizations once the dust settles, and we will continue to optimize for as long as we work on the product. For Civ V, that was years.
As for other games, I still can't pull myself away from Rocket League. Now that I have a few hundred hours in it, the amount of tricks I can pull off is increasing all the time, once you get to grips with some aerial maneuvers the game certainly opens up a bit.
Another shout out to Streets of Rogue, still one of my absolute favourite indie games. The amount of time I'be put into this is nuts. Probably one of the funniest games I've ever played with friends. Absolutely check it out if you haven't and do have a look at our video of it!
Hopefully the LongWar Port will be done soon so there is more action.
Also today I finished RAGE from iD Software.
Yesterday, I finished (after many many many many years) Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb.

I have been playing a jewel of a tower defense game also, Elemental War. I bought it during the Winter Sale and already have about 50 hours on it. I really enjoy it. (my Steam review
Also had a bit of fun flying in IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad (wine). There is a fresh guide how to set it up on Linux in their forum.
Next on the agenda will The Witcher 3 . This might become the first Witcher game that keeps me playing after the tutorial ;-)
Both games have a lot to explore if you don't want to just plough through the main story line.
Both run excellently with Proton, haven't found any issues with many hours of play.
Sadly I couldn't use my Witcher 1 savegames. Seems not to work, because I bought TW1 on GOG and TW2 on steam :-(
So I do not have my nice Swords and less Orens.
Otherwise I had lots of fun with TW1 and will play all three titles to enjoy the whole story.
