PayPalIt's the weekend and it has again been a while since we had a community talking point article, so here we are!
Time to make a cup of your favourite brew, put on some headphones, turn the volume up and get some serious gaming done. The question is though: what play button do we click on? What game eats up all of our time?
For a lot of people that will be a stupid question as the answer is probably…Valheim. It certainly is for me, as it's an absolutely fantastic experience. In my own play-through, the second boss has recently been defeated after a casual 50+ hours and it just keeps on getting better. So much to see and do, so much to discover and get excited about.
If you're interested, a developer on Twitter made a thread about some Valheim performance troubles and it's an interesting little read. Now that Iron Gate have plenty of monies from over 6 million sales, hopefully they can get someone in to go through the game and optimize it some more.
Valheim has sucked me in so much so that I've not had much time to go back to the also excellent Loop Hero, which is sat in my library begging to be played. It feels good to have so many great games waiting though!
Over to you in the comments: what have you been playing recently? Do tell us your thoughts on it.

A lot of Hex of Steel (previous name was Operation Citadel), a wargame, very active French dev, and a Discord with great "mods mood".
Started to play Surviving Mars after i got the full package for 16€. Slow paced and boring and interesting all together, mixed felling but i think i like it.
Pax Nova, via Proton, and it seems way better than the 50-60% positive reviews on Steam say from earlier versions. New free DLC this week, plus several big updates with fixes and balances, and an incoming "visual improvement" update soon (tm).
Warhammer Online (Return of Reckoning) wine/DXVK - My Go to MMORPG for some nice PvP action.
Thief (2014) Proton - Love the story and stealth mechanics. Completed chapter 5 currently. UI and stuff is a bit clunky but the gameplay under that is very good imo.
DiRT Rally 2.0 Proton - My racing game fix!
DOOM Eternal Proton - Still haven't completed it. Hate the platforming parts in this game, but love all the gunplay.

Quoting: GuestI finally got around to playing Deponia: The Complete journey - it's so funny and the puzzles aren't stupid or overly complicated - I managed to finish the first game without watching tutorials.
It really is something of a gem, isn't it? We (my daughter and I) have probably played it through three times now and we laugh all the way through every time. When you consider that it wasn't even written in English and this is a translation, it's pretty incredible!

I asked some questions and got a very excellent response from "class101 [Linux]", who showed I how to play non-Steam-ESO in the Steam version of the game, along with screenshot and addons support!
My Steam Forum Post, with Soution
I plan on doing a write-up to this, to help others, when I have some more free time.

Before that I finished "Yakuza 0", "Heavy Rain", "Disco Elysium" and "Ion Fury". So quite a lot of gaming this year.
See more from me
