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?

And Xenoblade Chronicles on my Switch ;)

So I've been playing stuff under Windows...
I've also been playing Bioshock Remastered which was kindly gifted to me by fellow GoL user pskosinski. I think I'm about a third of the way in so far.
And one from the Itch Bundle. Astrologaster. It's basically a visual novel, but I'm really enjoying the olde English voice acting and singing.
I'm running the first two of these in Proton via Steam, and for the last I'm running the Itch client under Wine. All working fine, but Bioshock needs a launch option to disable esync in Proton.

The developer also made available a demo for the fourth part in the series, though it's available for windows only. Worked mostly fine via proton and took me about three hours to complete. Don't know for sure if I like it or not. It's now 3D and I'm not a fan of that, yet. Looks decent enough, and you can now actually get a sense of how deep the creeper is here and there, bit it makes navigating and assessing the current situation strategically more difficult. Sure, there is a top down view camera available, but in contrast to it's predecessor I cannot clearly make out the terrain in this mode.
Been playing around with Godot some more.
I have also been getting into Into The Breach. Frustrating but a very engaging strategy game.
Finally, there's always time for some Mario Kart 8 on the Switch with my daughter!
