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!

Battlefield V via Wine/DXVK and Lutris.
Short fazit, seems to be a great game! Sadly 11 bit Studios went their backs on Linux, but as proton jumped into the gap, I can live with it. 11 bit Studios created a very good and addictive experience here. Makes me want to explore that winter world a lot more.
And yep, platinum rating for protondb ;)

Most of the time a play Dota 2. It's one of my favorites. Easy to learn but hard to master but so much fun.
Quoting: Elvanex8 years after I initially purchased it, I'm still playing the hell out of Mount and Blade: Warband. :) I finally hit the 1,000 hour mark last week as well, and that's not even counting the 200 or so hours I played before I got it on Steam. lol.
I don't know about that. I bought it a few years ago because of the good ratings on Steam.
It was pretty buggy. Often I couldn't finish quests, a proper tutorial was missing.
Quests were often the same (bring letter from a to b).
For me it felt quite unfinished although fighting was some fun.
Is this game really playable and enjoyable without using mods? Most of the time people say they use mods.
Quoting: ExpalphalogChroma Squad.
I was a little iffy about it at first - I tend to dislike Japanese pop culture (my tolerance for 'wierd for no reason' is really low), I was just getting too old for Power Rangers when they first hit so I only watched like the first season of the first series, and I am not a fan of games going for the retro console aesthetic unless there's a good reason for it. But I love turn-based combat and it kept piling up good reviews so I am finally getting around to it. And I frickin love it.
In the beginning I really liked the game concept but at season 3 or 4 it became too boring for me.
Every season, it's basically the same over and over (apart from better items).
Nothing bores me more than repeating game concepts. They should have ended the story faster. I left this game unfinished.
Arma 3!! Both experimental port (armaonunix great community) and proton way.
Well... I was wrong. Although I tried several suggested workarounds, the game just won't work as fluent as expected. Issues like broken sound (despite Protons FAudio in 3.16-7), wine freezes on quit, quirky mouse and keyboard input spoil the fun of the game for me.
At least my all-time-favorite CS:GO works like a charm, thanks to a native implementation.
