It's been quite some time since we last had an open discussion about what you've all been playing recently. Let's get things going again.
We've almost finished the second month of 2020, we've had tons of Linux games that have released this year already and a huge amount more on the way. Now with the rise of game streaming, Steam Play Proton and more options appearing constantly there's never a shortage of gaming to be had.
Personally, I've been getting back into the deck-builder Faeria (Humble/Steam).
With the big recent patch, it gave me a new reason to pick it up and I had honestly forgotten just how good the gameplay is. Building the board as you go really does spice up the usual turn-based tactics, as does the single-player content that's quite plentiful. Gamepad support that was recently added has also made it more accessible than ever. Crafting a good deck of cards is always the hard part but Faeria is fun to learn.
So, over to you: what have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

I hate to admit it because, well, Microsoft, but that's definitely my favourite console of all time. It just is.[/quote]
Mine too for console wise. But you can RGH it and run Ubuntu.
Also been playing The Surge, Wolfenstein 2, Road Redemption and Homefront:The Revolution.

Deep Rock Galactic. Playing via Proton on my 5700XT with Mesa. Works fantastic and what an amazing game. I've gotten 4 friends to buy it and another two play it shared from someone else.

*GFNVM: GeForce Now on Linux via an Android virtual machine.
Quite interested in your playing "any game you own" via GeForce NOW streaming service (e.g. The non-Linux-friendly game sellers - Epic, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Bethsaida) running in an Android Virtual Machine (with Qemu) on Linux. Would this system also allow playing Steam games that have EAC (e.g. Rust) to work without problem (other than performance)? Also, I'd be interested in a Setup Tutorial for this: I don't suppose you know of one, which is already out there on the internet? I imagine this would allow certain troublesome Steam Windows-only games to work on Linux that do not currently work with Proton.

Quoting: facelessI’ve been playing shadow of the Tomb Raider! Fantastic game that gives me the vibe of first reboot game that Rise didn’t! Also, it’s just gorgeous!
Honestly I really enjoyed the environment and the setting of SoTR. Setting it up in pre-Colombian Latin-America was a very good choice. I couldn't say the same thing about the game storyline and pacing though. It felt awesome but short.

Quoting: furaxhornyxI am currently playing Greedfall
I finished Greedfall (on proton), it was really a great experience. Took me a bit more than 50 hours to complete though, so be ready to
I'll definitely have a second run, with another "class" and... "approach" to some quests :D

Quoting: JJNovaQuoting: dvdAny advice on finding active servers/times? After a 4-5 years break i recently installed it again, and found the servers dead by comparison. I'm quite excited for the new game too, but i kind of don't believe they make the new release anytime soon, due to the weird development model they are using, where even as they are making a free game and a for profit one they do not open their project up.
I don't know anything about their for-profit game. I have seen their updates for Urban Terror 5, but I've stopped expecting it anytime soon. They are currently doing alpha tests on it with community members.
There are active servers at all times of day. After starting it up, click on "Play Online" and then at the bottom left you can click on "Get New List". I sort by players so I can see which ones have the most people on them, but occasionally I sort by ping just so I'm not at a major disadvantage.
What do you mean? UrT is not for profit, but it is nonetheless close source, and the development (including code and assets) are kept tightly in control with the core devs (frozen sand). As for the servers, i've only found 1-2 active servers, both of which have horrible pings to me.
