Another week has almost finished, it's now the weekend and it's super hot here which means it's time to hide indoors and play games.
For me, it's been a real mix of things recently. With the announcement that EVERSPACE 2 is coming to Linux, I've decided to brush up on my piloting skills in the original. I'm still amazed at how fun EVERSPACE actually is, especially the Action Freeze feature where you can just entirely stop the game to take a picture. Beautiful too, it can result in some awesome shots like this:
Apart from that, Jupiter Hell is another fantastic Early Access game now out on Linux. Already loving everything about it, from the awesome atmosphere to the incredible turn-based action. Although when I'm not looking for something so intense, diving into Dicey Dungeons is always high up on my list.
What have you been playing recently and what are you clicking on this weekend? Let us know your thoughts and recommendations in the comments.
All the excitement for Everspace 2 has me wanting to play the first one next. It's been waiting in my library for a long time now and looks like it deserves some love. It's that or Underworld on my list for the next big thing.
Quoting: no_information_hereQuoting: NezchanSecrets of Rætikon, a Metroidvania-ish game where you play a bird attempting to activate an ancient machine. Good controls, stunning visuals, and satisfying puzzles, even if fighting to get needed puzzle objects away from magpies gets frustrating at times.Sadly, the ending of this game is terrible. I think they ran out of money and it really shows. Too bad as the general concept was cool.
It was the first game I ever backed in Early Access, and I figured I'd pick it up again and try to actually finish it.
Well...thanks for semi-ruining it for me, I guess? Given I haven't yet reached the end.

But the game I’ve really been playing these past few weeks is Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana on the PS Vita. It’s very good. It’s out on Steam too and probably runs fine on Linux.
See more from me
