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.

dead island until I discovered that:
dead island definitive edition was the same
ARK: survival evolved
Fortresscraft evolved
Mad Max
Saints Row 3

ARK and fortresscraft are endless games of course, as the goal of the game is to play it as long as possible.
Dead Island is a very nice openworld game, works perfect on linux, graphics are awesome.
There are of course much more games on my shelf that I intend to play...

Quoting: Mountain ManI need to figure out how to make those games work in Wine, because the Arkham games pretty much the only ones I really miss since making a clean break from Windows (that and, believe it or not, LEGO The Lord of the Rings). Last time I tried getting Arkham Asylum to work in Wine, it failed miserably. The game wouldn't even start.

Aside of the little workaround for the controller the game worked just out of the box for me (since wine-staging 2.0). Weird how inconsistent can Wine be.

Admittedly, it has been about a year since I last tried, and Wine has made some significant strides in that time, so maybe I should give it another try.

Just beat Antichamber. Now I'm working on finishing The Talos Principle. I've also been playing some CS:GO, Ballistic Overkill, and Rocket League.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and before that Mad Max (finished). I must be an easy prey because I found both games awesome. I don't understand all the negative critics Deus Ex recieved... Was it updated to correct the flaws?

Got Rive from Humble monthly... Played with it a couple of minutes to find out it was more like half an hour... Could easily get hooked up to this one. :)

Next up... Hitman!

River City Ransom, not sure if i like it, quickly boring in my opinion. Too much nostalgia involved, and i'm not nostalgic. A good modern game would be nice...

Meadow, an odd MMORPG from the team behind Shelter games

VoidExpanse with the newly released DLC Pariah's Bane

Legend of Eisenwald, a surprislingly good mix between HOMM and Battle Brothers

Realpolitiks, could be good with some DLC maybe, too shallow right now

Codex of Victory, i don't want to play much because release in soon, but it feels great already.

Ehm. Half Life 2 ep 1 and ep 2 because Liam knows he will be streaming those soon. :P Also Hitman because it's just to cool to find all the ways that I can get killed. Wait, that's not how the game works?

The Witcher 2. I bought it a while ago on a sale because it was dirt-cheap and I had heard that they had resolved the performance issues with their wrapper, but I only recently found the time to play it. So far I like it: good performance, only a few occasional crashes (that might not even be related to Linux), and even if the gameplay is not perfect, the story, graphics and atmosphere are very enjoyable.
