It's Sunday, it's a lazy day for some and plenty of you are probably playing through your backlog of games.

I've been testing out the Linux beta of the upcoming monster capture game Monster Crown. One that was crowdfunded some time ago, and it's incredibly promising. The developer has been great to chat to and they seem very committed to polishing the Linux build. Still a long road ahead though but a rather unique take on a Pokemon-like that I can't wait to put more time into

Additionally, a fair amount of my time has been spent playing Danger Zone in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Today I saw something quite hilarious actually; someone managed to use their Drone Pilot starting perk, to capture one of the late-game drops coming down and fly it across the map to themselves. First time I've seen someone do that, was a fun surprise. Naturally, I ran after it to attempt to take them down but they had some traps waiting for me. Those jump pads can be a real nuisance, sending me far into the air to come crashing down—dead.

Over to you: what have you been playing recently, and what do you think about it? Let your fellow GOL readers know in the comments.

I'm playing Metro Exodus under Proton: it works like a charm and the game is great. Mixes light open world/survival with lots of stealth action, shooting and an average story. You can think of it like a simplified version of Fallout 3, without all the RPG elements and moral choices. There are side quests, but everything is focused mainly on shooting and advancing the story. Gameplay is very relaxed, there's no need to rush, so you have time to explore, and you need too, to build your equipment.

I'm liking a lot the variety of scenarios: until now I saw dark tunnels, bunkers, deserts, cold swamp. I just started a level into the Taiga. Graphics are very beautiful.

These few days..Hearthstone. No, not the BG.
After so many years and so much money wasted on doctors..I have relapsed. Send help.

I jumped on the Delete Your Blizzard Account bandwagon last fall. Mostly, of course, to support Hong Kong. Secretly also to stop myself pouring more hours into HS. You can still join up - just remember to tell 'em Blitzchung sent you :)

I played Black Mesa, but it's machines stopped working one version before,so I let it sleep for a while.

Now, I played Lennas' Inception with my short ones, it's such a fun game and worth every second I played it. I am so eager to slay all bosses, but as well to solve the side quests - and it is for my casual style gaming completely well balanced (old men like to take it easy)

A full recommendation for Lenna's Inception.

I won Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force through WINE on Friday and I made it half way through Star Trek: Elite Force II on Saturday again through WINE while waiting for my Longhorn to calve. I am still waiting.

First game ran great as expected, but I am having some crackling audio with Elite Force II which I do not recall from when I played it through WINE back in the day. It is hardly crippling just an occasional nuisance.

I've been playing Radiis. It's quite fascinating. In a way it feels like a board game, but you couldn't possibly do it without a computer. Definitely not very much like anything I've ever played before.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War in Proton. Apart from having to set the resolution in the config file, it has been running great, without any crashes or graphics problems. A fun game.
125GB with HD textures makes it the biggest game I've ever installed though, and that's without any extra DLC!

So is this some kind of retro computing talk about the masochistic experience of deliberately using Windows 8.*? :D

Longhorn was the codename for Vista.
You dare compare this beautiful animal to such a thing?
