It's been a while since I put a question to the community, so here it is! What are you currently playing and what do you think about it?

I'm still very fond of Ballistic Overkill and recently Insurgency, still a big FPS fan myself and that will never change.

For Ballistic Overkill, it's the simple pleasures here. It's accessible, we never have problems finding a game and the performance is fantastic.

Insurgency is a different matter, as it's difficult, much more realistic and really quite fun to do the co-op mode.

Highly recommend them both.

While I'm here, just to let you know every Monday we will be doing what we decided to call "Ballistic Monday" where we hop on Twitch to livestream Ballistic Overkill and more. Everyone is welcome to join. Keep an eye on our livestream schedule for the info. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Poly Bridge - amazing soundtrack, relaxing game, sometimes hilarious, sometimes infuriating.

Rocket League - as always an amaaaazing game

I've just finished the main story of Hitman, it's actually the first game in years that I've wanted to play all the way through to the end. I want more!

"Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun", addictive game! :)

Deponia. I started playing it again during an internet outage that lasted more than 12 hours. It's quite fun, and I am enjoying this point-and-click adventure game as the first in a long time. Plus, no internet=no cheating. It's way harder, but I finished chaos on Deponia that way. I'm now onto the third opus, but I'm still torn on the main character, Rufus. He's not your standard hero; he can even be quite despicable at some times. But he can also be kind and likeable at others. I'm waiting to finish the series to formalize my opinion, though.

Other than that, I've been enjoying some garry's mod with some friends (playing some prop hunt, murder, hide and seek and others while in a vocal chat can be hilarious). I still think a lot of mods are of quite low quality and could be improved substantially. People are getting lots of error (the big, flashing, in-game giant error models) from unknown (to them) player models, weapons, cars, props, etc when I'm hosting, plus extremely long waiting times due to having to download lots of (unneeded) stuff from my computer. A lot of improvements can be made there (I also miss the small icons jumping around when downloading stuff, that was more useful than the progress bar that fills over and over, as it gave an idea of the overall progress). So, a mixed bag for that one, but it's still fun (when we can finally connect!).

That's about all, I haven't been playing *that* much recently, as I'm trying to balance it with work, social life, and sleep :P

That questions comes in handy. :)

I've been playing through Infinifactory, where you create transportation and welding mechanisms to build and deliver... things. It's a strange game. I didn't find it very stringent, it's not delivering new mechanisms and using them in an intelligent way. Still, I played through it, taking 80 hours. It's just satisfying: build machines, see them fail over and over again, until it all fits together... just to be confronted with another, even more complicated task. In the end, it got too complicated, but I didn't want to give up before finally... well, go see yourself. :)

80 hours, that's place 5 in my personal charts, after Frozen Synapse, XCOM, Skyrim and Wasteland 2.

Overlord 2, Chivalry: MW, Cities Skylines.

I seriously love Overlord 1 and 2 & I can only recommend it

"Pillars of Eternity" - working my way through this quite slowly, as I'm enjoying the ride. I'm finding this more satisfying than the isometric RPGs from the classic era. I wish I had more time to spend on it, as I want to play Tyranny before PoEII arrives.

"Shovel Knight" - I was a bit disappointed by this. Push-scrollers were lame enough in the 1980s. The platforming is well done, but the controls aren't the best.

"Chaos Reborn" - I love this game, but there are nowhere near enough players. I hadn't played it for ages but I have a few asynchronous games running just now. Generally getting my arse handed to me.

"Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection" - especially "Bridges".

Thanks to a news here about the Payday 2 Humble Bundle back in January I bought it for myself and got 3 of my Windows mates to get a copy as well. Since then I've logged more than 50 hours in it and it's real fun (going infamous tonight if everything goes well ^^).

Thanks to the crossplay between Windows and Linux I can now enjoy multiplayer with them without having to boot to Windows just to launch Batllefield 4, as far as I remember I didn't boot Windows since then :)

I was skeptical about this game but I can now recommend it ^_^

IN my spare time I play right now following games.

Total War: Warhammer - The best Total War I ever played.

Brütal Legend - Nice idea and story but sadly the open world feels a little shallow. But the Music is just awesome.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - Since CrossOver supports now 64bit applications I tested it and is works nearly flawless and looks gorgeous. The 32 bit version only supported low textures, which looked incredible bad. I like the setting and the story, I even made a paper for all the hints and relations of the characters.

My wife and I have both been playing Stardew Valley and loving it! I've got 171 hours in it so far.
