Today GOL asks: what have you been playing on Linux, and what do you think about it?

I've personally been playing a lot of OpenRA, which I think I may have an addiction to. Really love the classic Westwood RTS games, I just wish the AI was a little better.

We had some fun playing Left 4 Dead 2 last night as well, such a good solid game. Great fun to play with friends, even if we did utterly fail at putting fuel in the car at the end of a certain level. Stupid Tank.

Now that the XCOM 2 patch and DLC is out I am also very much looking forward to getting back to kicking alien ass.

This coming week I am hoping to polish up our statistics page some more and include a resolution picker too. Along with general bug fixing of the website I am also planning to continue rolling out more features and new sections, but more on that later.

So many games, so little time!

Also, again, thanks for all the support on Patreon! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Dota 2. There is plenty of custom games that are very funny
The only drawback is the fact that hammer is not available under linux

that's it. My library has quite lots of games, but well, I enjoy robbing banks.
Even if it is a serious waste of time, I see people with more than 5000+ hours of active gameplay. I mean...that's more than half a year 24/7 of Payday2 ? So I'm still pretty normal, having just 300 hours, since it is 1st day on Linux.

Pretty fun if you can deal with perma death.

Duskers, a great Indie strategy game (I just recently wrote a review about it here).

Apart from that, Pillars of Eternity on Path of the Damned and Expert difficulty, which is a great challenge.

Though all in all I don't have much time for gaming these days, too much RL stuff to distract me.

Finished Teslagrad and Braid this weekend. Both are very nice and fun to play Puzzle Platformers.
Furthermore i am still busy with Alien: Isolation which is pretty awesome and the visually most impressive game I played on Linux so far.
On a regularly base i am playing Counterstrike Global Offensive, which is great as long as you have some nice premates to play with.

Satellite Reign is amazingly challenging and fun.
Mount & Blade: Warband is fun, although getting my stats up to the point where I can consistently besiege towns takes a while.
Baldur's Gate: EE is a bit more fun than the original, as I prefer the BG2 system, will be interesting when I get my character to BG2:EE.
Pillars of Eternity is less fun than BG:EE for some reason. Taking a page from MrBtongue's book, I suppose the game is too balanced.

Also played all through A Little Lily Princess recently, it's a bit softer than the book, but it's still a neat little timesink.

I've also been trying to get Divine Divinity: Original Sin working, but I fear I might need to run a Debian derivative, in which case it probably won't be worth the pain and humiliation.

I was playing CS:GO last week for many hours and yesterday I played Tomb Raider finally :)

Dota 2 has always been a thing for me in the past years ;-) In addition I have started to play Divinity Original Sin EE coop with a friend of mine - fantastic game!

I'd really like to continue with XCOM2 and Tomb Raider but I am lacking the time ...
