PayPalIt's been a while since I last asked and plenty of games have been released or updated since then. Let's get talking.
For me, the usual Rocket League has been played a lot recently. Especially with the new in-game event going on, the Spike Rush game mode (video) is a huge amount of fun and it's pretty ridiculous. Even the normal game modes continue to keep the game as my #1, it's gotten to the point where I'm attempting all sorts of insane goals. It's still free to try until tomorrow at 5PM UTC with a 50% off sale on Steam.
Plenty more Dota Underlords as well of course, I'm absolutely terrible at it but it's also stupidly engrossing. I like that I can quickly go for a toilet break or to grab a drink when needed, since you don't have to be at your PC during the battles if you have to run for a minute.
Apart from that, Eagle Island continues to pull plenty of my attention. Such a sweet game and really quite a challenge at times. I've especially enjoyed jumping into the Roguelite mode to continue playing after the story is all done.
I also let the mini-me try out Bastion, while it's not a game I personally enjoy as I find the narrator a little irritating, he seems to love it on the more casual game mode and he's getting surprisingly good at it.
Do let everyone know what you've been playing and if it's worth picking up in the comments.

Quoting: DaiKaiser93Quoting: on_en_a_grosNo problem, I will keep you abreast if I find something interesting when I test it.
Just finished the game on Linux Mint 19.1 turns out some cutscenes play without subtitles.
Example; in the first cutscene when you start the game and the one starting the epilogue are supossed to have text but it does not appear, just realized after I missed the entire big bad's monologue.
I just tried the first level on manjaro and all seemed to work out of the box, but keep in mind that I have the steam version and in an Nvidia GPU.

Did the intro in the elevator had red subtitles?
If so, I guess we can pin the problems with some incompatibility with mesa.
Either way, thank you so much for the time you took to test the game.

No problem.
Yes everything worked like intended, the intro the cutscene and the menu tutorial after the first level.
Good luck if you keep investigating.
Quoting: NezchanQuoting: RoosterQuoting: AcrophobicI've been playing Terraria lately. I've never played sandbox game before but I've heard many good thing about it. Since it was dirt cheap on last sale, I bought it. Unfortunately, I don't really like it, but somehow I can't stop playing it.
Exactly how I would describe my time with Terraria. I would even give it a the status of great game, if it wasn't for the shitty control mechanics.
I tried Terraria recently, and seriously could not get into it. Partly because of the terrible control setup (crafting especially), but partly because you can't really play it without a wiki open in another window. I think it's okay if you're playing with other, more experienced players who can show you where the fun things are at, but solo it's nothing to write home about.
So I went back to Crea, which I've had for quite a while, and found it's much more fun to play. Same concept, but a bit more cohesive and more interesting combat and crafting. It's got more of an RPG focus and a lot more quality of life stuff (like a skill to detect minerals so you're not just randomly digging for hours on end).
Well, but i think that part of the fun of the game is to discover all the strangers things that are in the giant map. When i start playing i was very confused about what to do, and i think; "well, i'm going to dig a hole to the bottom of the world" and when i found all the tunnels, and creatures there, i was amazed. And just continue exploring for hours. Later i take a look to the wiki, and craft some things, but just the necessary to survive and go deeper
