What have you been playing recently and what are your thoughts?

Playing through Rise of the Tomb Raider right now. Figured I would give it a go as a good test of my new GPU. Loving it so far. Gorgeous graphics; good gameplay; not perfect but very good. I recently finished Hostil which was a decent 2D Point and Click.

It doesn't look like my cup of tea but i'll try to give them $5 on Itch.io when I get my tax refund.

Knightin'+, a Zelda-lite dungeon crawler arrives DRM-free on GOG

Quoting: JJNovaAwesome. Always nice to get more DRM-free releases.

Also happy to see something being added to the GoG library. It seems like a slow year for drm-free Linux games

It's slow for GOG but not overall. Itch.io has DRM free Linux releases every week.

Linux Mint and the Cinnamon desktop progressing well, all-time high donations

I switched from Cinnamon to Mate a while back and the main reason I did was the lack of refresh rate changing in the properties and more crashes than I would like. Mate has been rock solid for me but once the refresh rate changes are in there I may pop Cinnamon back on to give it another chance.

Better late than never. I'll pick it up at GOG when it's there.

Seems like Feral Interactive may have a few surprises for Linux in 2020

The games I would like to see a Linux port of most would be:

1. The Council
2. Vampyr
3. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
4. Call of Cthulhu
5. DOOM Eternal

I tried to keep it to games I actually think have a chance. Red Dead II would be an awesome game to have ported but it requires Rockstar Social Club so they would have to drop that or port it to Linux and I don't see either happening. Hellblade would be awesome but Microsoft owns the people who made it so I doubt that happens. Any Epic store exclusive also probably won't happen at least soon.

Dominus Galaxia, a 4x strategy game heavily inspired by Master of Orion 1 has a Linux demo up

I was able to play the demo on Manjaro. No issues when using the Vulkan launcher. The openG launcher wouldn't even get to the main screen. I didn't have Steam running while I played so I am not sure what the other users error message was about. I could only give them $1 due to tight times but hopefully they can reach their goal.

No Linux version of Lonely Mountains: Downhill yet due to IL2CPP in Unity

Unity has gone so far downhill when it comes to Linux support. Making UE4 look good. I wish they would open source it. Something tells me the LInux issues would get fixed faster.

Alen Ladavac, co-founder of Croteam has left to join the Google Stadia team, plus other Stadia news

If this departure messes with future native Linux versions of their games I will be mad.

CoreCtrl, a new FOSS Linux tool to help you control your PC with application profiles

Works great in Manjaro for me. I have been waiting for this kind of program for years now. Closest thing to MSI Afterburner for Linux I have seen for AMD cards. I'll Patreon this for sure.
