What are you playing this weekend and what do you think about it?

By - | Views: 28,341

It's the weekend and the sun is out, so naturally many of us will be staring at a bright screen playing the latest and greatest Linux games.

I tend to go through phases of being attached to specific games for a few weeks before utterly burning myself out on them, currently Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has managed to hook me back in. It's not exactly the newest game, but it still has such fluid and fun gameplay that there's still really nothing else like it in the shooter scene.

HITMAN is also tempted me back once more, since I've never actually gone through the Patient Zero bonus campaign. With HITMAN 2 being announced, I feel like I need to get my practice down in case Feral Interactive say they're porting it to Linux again (they sadly haven't—yet). It would be odd if they didn't, since HITMAN seemed to be quite a popular game with Linux gamers.

Caves of Qud has also been amusing me lately, such a great story maker. I won't tell you how many times I've died…

So many games, so little time. Choosing what to play does become a real issue, with an insane amount of great quality games on Linux—there's truly never been a better time for us.

What are you playing this weekend and what do you think about it?

Just got back from the vacation and I got one more day before I need to get back to office. I think I'll give Firewatch a try, hopefully it won't disappoint me.

Well I haven't even had my morning coffee yet but I guess once that's rectified I'll play some Enemy Territory Quake Wars for a bit and then continue my Elder Scrolls Oblivion playthrough for a bit. I've installed these both recently after completely forgetting I even owned them, things got nostalgic pretty quick lol. Besides those two I've been playing a lot of DOTA and Master of Orion on Steam as per usual.

Hi!
Yesterday i finish Tomb Raider (2013). Very entretaining game, especialy the climbing and puzzles. The battle sistem made me confuse some times in the movie driven escenes. You are seeing some cutscene, and suddenly you have to hit some key. I dead lots of times for that.

Now iḿ Playing a oozemancer in Tales of Maj'Eyal

(sorry for the english, i'm learning it. any suggestion is welcomed)

I've been slowly replaying Valhalla, doing the "evil Jill" route (not really evil, just get everybody as drunk as possible... uh... you'd have to play it. ^_^;; )

Also been hooked on more Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup; it's about to be the version 0.22 tourney in August! Great UI/mechanics/gameplay updates for it, too, playing in Trunk just to get them! It's an easy game to play on lappy in the heat, while also fighting a sore throat/cough/fever(?) from Canada's Wonderland.

Not just gaming inside, roller coasters are good too! ^.^

I'm playing Dungeons and Dragons. With 5 friends through www.roll20.net.

Not a computer RPG, but with an actual DM.

I've recently been super addicted to RimWorld. :) I'd been trying to avoid it until 1.0 was released, but I finally gave in and started a game in beta 18. For anyone on the hook on this buying this game, let me assure you that it is totally beyond worth it. :) It's one of my top 5 favorite games of all time!

Played Grey Skies, Dark Waters today. I guess I didn't find it as mediocre as Liam did, but well, it's not great either. A melancholic journey, 2 to 3 hours short.

Mostly Slay the Spire, but going to give Desperados a try.

Not at home for the weekend, but I've been playing Turok for the entire week and it's been a nice experience. Also playing through Borderlands 2's DLCs and The Pre-sequel. Quite a lot of shooting these days :p
