It's been quite a while since we had a community chat post for Linux gaming, so let's get it going again: what have you been gaming on Linux lately?
There's so many games releasing all the time, along with cloud gaming very much being a thing that you can game across all sorts of Linux devices now. New isn't always better though of course and I often go back to the comfort of a few "safety" games that I know I will enjoy. Lately, that's been a likely unhealthy amount of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
With the latest Operation named Broken Fang, it pulled in the a Retakes game mode and I have to say, I have been enjoying that massively. It's much quicker to get through, with the T side planting the bomb as soon as a round starts. Smaller levels along with picking your loadout from cards, it really has mixed up how to play CS:GO for the better. The Wingman mode is also a huge amount of fun with quick 2v2 rounds. Well worth looking into if you've not played either modes.
Apart from that, I can't get away without mentioning Valheim, the singleplayer and co-op Viking survival game. It's simply brilliant. I've been happily playing it alone, as I'm just constantly discovering new things and it's a real joy while now and then hopping into the community-run GamingOnLinux servers (info in our Discord) to see what amazing creations people have done with the building tools.
Over to you in the comments: what's been pulling you in lately and are you enjoying it? Give over your latest recommendation to fellow readers.

Going to start playing Wolfenstein: The New Order via Lutris.
Quoting: bradgyFirst XCOM2 playthrough here (only 5 years late, oh well), and I am sucking, hard.
XCOM2 is one of my favourite games of all time. I'm envious that you can play it with fresh eyes!
Other than that, I got Dicey Dungeons on a recommendation here a few weeks ago. And it is everything it promises: A quick, fun "roguelike" dice/card battle with a lot of variation. While the likes of Valheim sucks you in for hours, you can play Dicey Dungeons in short bursts of a few minutes.

Quoting: ajgpI am currently playing a modded campaign in Stellaris; definately one of my favourite games.
I was reading through the forum, and was quite surprised that nobody was playing Stellaris - and then, the last post ;-)
I'm back at playing Stellaris too. Not modded though. I wanted to try Necroids without any mods first. I wonder what makes this game so captivating. The AI is objectively bad, the events are repetitive, and still I play it over, and over, and over again...
