It's been a little while since we had a community-chat post to round-up what you've all been gaming on Linux lately, so let's have a chat shall we.
We're all a bit spoilt for choice thanks to the likes of native Linux games, Steam Play Proton, cloud game streaming, lots of great emulators and more that you can all do right on Linux. This often makes choosing a game to play rather difficult doesn't it? It does for me.
I end up quite often going back to what I see as comfort games, those that you can just repeat over and over and you know them well, like a gaming comfort blanket with the likes of XCOM 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Streets of Rogue and others but there's a new one in my own personal list: Ziggurat 2 which released into Early Access with Linux support in late October.
Milkstone Studios seem to have crafted an absolutely magical first-person dungeon crawler, that I can quite easily see myself putting hundreds of hours into. There's something so supremely satisfying about running around a room waving a wand or a staff around, unleashing powering magics on somewhat freaky enemies (like those damn running carrots). When you get into the boss battles, it really gets your blood flowing too.
Over to you in the comments: what have you been gaming on Linux lately? Let us know what you've newly discovered, what you keep going back to and more.

My little one's been doing some of that with me, but has also started replaying Qube and The Talos Principle.
Definitely a lot of text though.

Now the bug that is blocking me from going on is that Henry is dying of sleep, but as soon as he gets to the bed, a game message says "you have had already enough sleep". Wtf??? I'm working around on it by drinking energy restoring potions (ancient times Redbulls I presume) and never going to sleep lol.

Amid Evil. No Linux version yet, but it runs fine with Proton.
Neighbours back From Hell. A port of a console version of Neighbours From Hell (which was a compilation of two games) to Unity. It differs from the original PC version of NFH 1-2 and can be played with a controller.
Them and Us. A Resident Evil-like game, I highly recommend it to classic RE fans. It's on Early Access though and isn't finished yet.
Call of Duty: WWII. It works with Proton 5.13 but crashes too often (singleplayer campaign only, multiplayer and zombies still don't work). Lots of people say it doesn't work at all. The game is mediocre, so don't get disappointed if you can't run it.
Serious Sam Classics: Revolution, a collection of revamped SS: TFE, TSE and a new campaign.
I have also found a new PlayStation 1 emulator recently, DuckStation (available as a Libretro core for RetroArch as well). It's going to be my favourite PS1 emulator. It has a lot a graphics settings like widescreen for 3D games without stretching videos and better game compatibility than Beetle-PSX-HW which has troubles with running modified games, e.g. translated ones.
