What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

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.

Alas, the Switch. :S:

It's hella fun, particularly LoZ.

Also Digimon World on the PS4, also very fun, but is definitely a marathon rather than a sprint. You spend a lot more time raising Digimon than exploring, at least at the start of the game.

On Linux, I last played Deus Ex and L4D2. Deus Ex is as fun as it was on day one, but I'm still stuck looking at everything. I've just finished The Rucker Extraction, and am on my way to my extraction point.

L4D2 is still fun if you have a group of people to play with. Once in a while the stars align and we get a game in.

EDIT: Oooh, caek!

Night in the Woods - really good, if you're into that sort of thing. Kinda on pause atm though because Breath of the Wild exists and I can't stop playing it.

XCOM 2 - got my ass kicked in my first attempt, ending in defeat. Ready to do it again though!
Dirt Rally - Can't get enough of this.
Hitman - Totally awesome - I can get lost for hours in this game.
Lara Croft GO - A nice puzzle game, which i've unfortunately finished already.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis :D

Verdun: a great WW1 team based FPS. Wish I had more uninterrupted time to fully enjoy the game, right now I don't play much at all because I hate having to drop out in the middle of a round.

Borderlands 2: older game, but can't get enough of it.

Borderlands: The pre-Sequel: got it in the steam winter sale, its a pale shadow of BL2, still enjoyable, but I doubt I'll go for a second playthrough.

Shovel Knight: I just love retro platformers.

Legend of dungeon: a great indie game when you have a few minutes to waste. Its a roguelike beat-em up with a great mix of 3d graphics/effects and retro hand drawn sprites.

Shadowrun series: I'm playing trough Dragonfall right now. Great simple games with a great atmosphere.

Already loved it when I heard the title music (again). :)

That title theme is amazing. Before I got the soundtrack I'd start the game and let it on the title screen just to listen to it. ;)

Same here! :D
Started the game in the morning just to listen to some good music when getting ready for work. :)

On Linux, I have just finished Starbound, with some 48 hours behind it. Fun game, I just wish it had more story in it.

I have also finished Shovel Knight, probably the best of the (not) old retro platformers...

Right now I am playing Dragon Age: Origins in Wine, really fun game, highly recommended, performance somewhat okay. I'm also playing Batman: Arkham Knight on the XB1 (yeah, I got it really cheap before my Linux conversion, don't have the money now to make the switch to PS4). This Batman really surprised me in a bad way. I thought I would like it, but now I am considering not playing to the end. It just seems more of the same to me.

The title music of this game is really remarkable. The games are currently waiting for their turn in my Steam library, but I recall the music just from seeing my brother firing up the game on his laptop.
