It's Sunday and another week has flown by, in part thanks to all the wonderful limited-time demos that have been available for a few days during the Steam Game Festival.
Thanks to the Steam festival, the choice of gaming available has been tougher than ever. Do you jump through your vast backlog of titles or wet your taste-buds with one of the demos? Choices, choices. Here's a reminder of some recent interesting new releases for Linux:
- Alwa's Legacy
- ATOM RPG Trudograd
- Attentat 1942
- Burning Knight
- Megaquarium: Freshwater Frenzy
- Poly Bridge 2
- Resolutiion
- shapez.io
Admittedly, my own time has been spread across a great many titles. Although, thanks to Titanfall 2 now working well on Linux with Steam Play Proton I will admit to having the need to go and play a lot more. Apart from that, I've also been feeling the ARPG call from Last Epoch, now that it's up to date and working very nicely, a proper gem in the rough and could be quite big once fully released. So many skills to master, loot coming out of everything you can fashion into a pocket and so many different types of enemies. Last Epoch is really one that action RPG fans need to take a look into.
Over to you in the comments section: what have you been playing recently?

Quoting: omicron-bFinally finishing Pillars of Eternity. Switched to "Easy", this is clearly not my genre.
With the release of OpenMW 0.46, started my second playthrough of TES III: Morrowind with just about 7 mods. It looks gorgeous!
I was tempted to switch PoE to "easy" too, just to get faster through all those fights. Too much of always the same rock paper scissors patterned weakness/immunity, buff/debuff game. I stopped playing it altogether instead.. and theat although I do consider CRPGs my genre.
Horizon Chase Turbo
I haven't played Morrowind in... a decade?
And I have to say, it's way more fun than Skyrim. The music in particular aged exquisitely.
Just the peoples faces/some clothes... Yech!
Before that I did some of "The Raven: Legacy of a master thief", "Terraria" and I finally finished "Tyrrany", which is an awesome game, much better that PoE for me. There's something satisfying being a villain that in his quest to be a nasty baddie, actually saves people from themselves. I realy enjoyed it.
Quoting: no_information_hereI have a good friend in another country without a decent PC. He picked up an ancient Xbox360 and I dusted my 360 off too. We have been playing old co-op shooters like Gears of War, Halo, and Borderlands. Remarkably fun.Oh, the memories.
I still fire mine up from time to time and, yes, it holds up amazingly well for a 15 year old system, especially when you think that it's now the same age as the Super Nintendo was when it came out (slightly older in fact, depending on your local release date). I'd be quite happy to be stuck with it as my only gaming device, but I'm not sure I'd have felt the same way about the SNES, great though it was, in 2005.Do you still need a Gold account to play online? I didn't mind when it was my main gaming machine because I'd probably have had one anyway, but £40 p.a. (or whatever it costs these days) seems a bit steep for the occasional nostalgia trip.
Quoting: grigiFor me it;s OpenMW 0.46 + a few mods.Yeah, KOTOR looks like LA Noire in comparison, and it's very nearly as old. :) A good character model replacement mod would be a godsend.

I don't know what's next but I need a change of genre, most likely I'll start the first game in the 'Trails in the Sky' series.
