It's the weekend and hopefully some of you will find the time to relax and play some games. There's been a lot of new releases lately too!
For me, I'm a little torn.
The new Stoneshard update is really good, filled full of new content to play through and a lot of new weapons to try out. The brutal combat and setting certainly takes getting used to, along with the health system. I've lost count on the amount of times I've died in it over the last few days.
I also want to play a whole lot more Burning Knight simply because it's so incredibly fun to blast through. So much insane action when you manage to build up a list of items. Just look at how ridiculous it can be!
You know what? I'm clicking Play on Burning Knight as soon as this goes up…
Over to you: what will you be clicking on across this weekend and into next week? Let us know in the comments and suggest some good picks for your fellow GOL reader.

Great fun and really done well.
Brings back all the good memories.
With the upgrade graphics it looks like I remember it. :D
Yet, switching to the original graphics ...

Splendid JRPG/Fighting/Platformer-mix from the creators of Skull Girls. The dialog and character design alone is worth the time and the gameplay and music aint too shabby either.
Also, i’d love to play Shadow Empire, but it needs help : https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/4435

Quoting: PatolaFreeCAD is an excellent Constructive Solid Modelling CAD package. It allows really professional work. However, it is not geared towards mesh modelling and organic features like Blender, it is better for engineering parts.
I've given up 3d on this geriatric laptop since even Godot is running at 1 Fpm (frame per minute) and is not usable, but thanks nonetheless, I've changed my mind, I will try Orx and assets made on Inkscape.
Quoting: scaineIf you enjoyed Halfway, their Indiana Jones-like follow up, Pathway, is also worth a look. It's also 50% off right now.
Thanks, already mine !
- GTFO:
This is a very interesting one, from former Payday 2 devs, a 4 player sci-fi based horror, stealth and very difficult fps game. Interesting about this is, they call the current set of levels "rundown", and they re-use the assets for new levels, but cannot maintain compatibility with the old levels. So when a new rundown is released, the old one gets replaced. If you were not able to complete all the levels, you're out of luck. And you have to beat the early levels to unlock the later ones. Of course the difficulty increases with each level... we have to hurry a bit, as next Thursday the new rundown gets released, and we have still 2 level to beat
- Beat Saber:
One of the killer apps for VR (well, nowadays the VR killer app has to be Half-Life: Alyx tbh) ;) A great community, for streamers a great integration for streaming services to request custom songs and replace notes with bombs, which explode into the name of the viewer who triggered the command.
Honorable mentions are Synth Riders, OhShape and Pistol Whip. All nice rhythm based music VR games, which give you also a nice workout. There is even YUR integration for BS, SR and OhShape from within the game, to count your burnt calories. And the Synth Riders as well as the OhShape devs are looking into a configurable 3rd person cam by my request, so a mixed reality stream would be feasible.
Yeah, not native Linux games, I know, but GTFO works flawless (platinum rating) and Beat Saber is whitelisted by Valve for Proton.
