It's been quite a while since we had a community chat post for Linux gaming, so let's get it going again: what have you been gaming on Linux lately?
There's so many games releasing all the time, along with cloud gaming very much being a thing that you can game across all sorts of Linux devices now. New isn't always better though of course and I often go back to the comfort of a few "safety" games that I know I will enjoy. Lately, that's been a likely unhealthy amount of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
With the latest Operation named Broken Fang, it pulled in the a Retakes game mode and I have to say, I have been enjoying that massively. It's much quicker to get through, with the T side planting the bomb as soon as a round starts. Smaller levels along with picking your loadout from cards, it really has mixed up how to play CS:GO for the better. The Wingman mode is also a huge amount of fun with quick 2v2 rounds. Well worth looking into if you've not played either modes.
Apart from that, I can't get away without mentioning Valheim, the singleplayer and co-op Viking survival game. It's simply brilliant. I've been happily playing it alone, as I'm just constantly discovering new things and it's a real joy while now and then hopping into the community-run GamingOnLinux servers (info in our Discord) to see what amazing creations people have done with the building tools.
Over to you in the comments: what's been pulling you in lately and are you enjoying it? Give over your latest recommendation to fellow readers.

When Control gets to be too intense, I take a break with The Room series. Awesome puzzles!
I've also kicked off a new playthrough of Divinity: Original Sin 2, this time with Beast as my main. I'm almost done with Fort Joy.
And just for something different I picked up Frostpunk in the Lunar New Year sale yesterday. Only played for a couple of hours though.
As far as native games go I also played a bit of Superhot which I got in a bundle some time ago but hadn't played yet. It's pretty fun for an hour or so - very interesting mechanic (time is frozen unless you are moving), but quite frustrating when you can't figure out how to beat a level.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 - The story so far have been really good and as always some wacky/funny side missions
- Valheim - addicting as hell
- Monster Sanctuary - fun story, easy to learn gameplay
- Space Haven - still working my way through the tutorial but it's fun so far
- Surviving Mars - also still in the tutorial, but it's city building on Mars, what's not to love?
- Albion Online - it's a damn love-hate relationship with this game for years

Got stuck on a boss fight in Vampyr so took a bit of a break and tried out Bloodborne and ended up almost platinuming it so I guess back to Vampyr soon! Might be worth it to restart it since I got a handle on how leveling works.

, also juggling between games on my library :
Quoting: RoosterQuoting: psy-qBlazed through Dark Souls 3 .
One does not simply blaze thorough Dark Souls.
Unless one plays pyromancer.
I've also decided to stop buying games, probably for the year. I have so many, I really don't need anymore. My only exception would be if it was something I would play immediately. (For example, a DLC to a game im
currently playing). My personal bet is that I have plenty to keep me occupied for a long time to come.
