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.

Among Us addiction ...

We often talk here about big titles and how they run under Proton. But it's often these indie games for which Proton is so useful because they practically run like a native ports now. In the past I often missed such games, because I was too lazy to start Wine to just give it a try.

Have finished Layers of Fear 2 which was for free on the EGL and it was a very nice experience because it was my first game in the horror genre. Worked great without any problems.

And am trying out Blair Witch now, which runs great too, only downside is the audio in the cutscenes, it is pretty borked otherwise it runs pretty good.

Has no one mentioned Hades ? I'm 30 hours in and still enjoying it. Runs perfectly out of the box with steamplay. Although you have to use the directx version as the Vulkan one surprisingly doesn't work.

Warhammer Online (ReturnofReckoning.com) - My go to RvR/PvP MMORPG. Hopping in nearly every evening to bash some enemies.

Haven't really played anything else recently. Spent all my spare time playing Warhammer and producing music with FL Studio (which runs in wine, with wineasio)... yes i know, i should learn some native DAWs, but they all lack the good VST support.

Quoting: kaiman
Quoting: LordDaveTheKindKingdom Come: Deliverance. Let me get this straight: the game is borked like hell, and not because of Proton.
Wonder if the latest patches introducing mod support did more harm than good there. I played it shortly after it came out and it was smooth sailing, except for some stability issues I attributed to certain DXVK versions.

It is more stable, excluding some crashes when going in prison or on fast travel. Mods (in particular the Auto-Save ones) are essential for playing it.
