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

It's question time once again, time to tell the world what you've been playing and let us know if it's worth getting.

I've actually been really enjoying Sid Meier's Civilization VI with the new expansion, it's far more addictive than I originally thought. While I previously got bored with it after a few rounds, that's no longer the case.

The disasters system with climate change adds so much to the game to seriously make it that much more interesting. Soon my English army shall take over what's left of the world…

In regards to the performance of the port (which isn't great in the later game), Aspyr Media did say this on Reddit:

The answer is actually not technical, but simply bandwidth. Frankly, it was a valentines miracle to get Linux out along-side Windows in a playable state that we were happy with AND cross platform. There will be time for optimizations once the dust settles, and we will continue to optimize for as long as we work on the product. For Civ V, that was years.

As for other games, I still can't pull myself away from Rocket League. Now that I have a few hundred hours in it, the amount of tricks I can pull off is increasing all the time, once you get to grips with some aerial maneuvers the game certainly opens up a bit.

Another shout out to Streets of Rogue, still one of my absolute favourite indie games. The amount of time I'be put into this is nuts. Probably one of the funniest games I've ever played with friends. Absolutely check it out if you haven't and do have a look at our video of it!

I've been playing Neverwinter Nights and I have to say that I'm having an absolute blast! I tried playing Baldurs Gate before and I just couldn't get into it.

Two Point Hospital (a lovely, polished sim) is my main game at the moment, with Coloring Pixels (Steamplay) for when I'm brain-fried. There was also a brief side trip into Game Corp DX, but that ended in a rage-quit.

Xcom2 WotC, nice work but too focused on the strategy layer not the actual fights.
Hopefully the LongWar Port will be done soon so there is more action.

I picked up Cosmic Express, completed it and loved it.

DUSK. I shat myself few times.
Also today I finished RAGE from iD Software.
Yesterday, I finished (after many many many many years) Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb.

I was playing Pathfinder:Kingmaker. I was enjoying it until I hit chapter 2. Once they spent a god-awful time explaining all the kingdom management tedium (and still only covering the basics), it completely turned me off of the game. I'm not sure I will ever go back.

I have been playing a jewel of a tower defense game also, Elemental War. I bought it during the Winter Sale and already have about 50 hours on it. I really enjoy it. (my Steam review

Total Warhammer 2: Mortal Empires. It's absolutely brilliant stuff and runs smooth as smooth thing. It's the best warhammerFB related game I've played and it makes old WH nerd like me really giddy. I shall be playing that until I get Gathering storm or man the gun or imperator rome or some other stuff.

Quite a bit of Battletech including a lot of skirmishes against a friend and done a bit of modest modding to increase the late-game challenge and fun a little.
Also had a bit of fun flying in IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad (wine). There is a fresh guide how to set it up on Linux in their forum.

Next on the agenda will The Witcher 3 . This might become the first Witcher game that keeps me playing after the tutorial ;-)

Been playing a lot of Mad Max and The Witcher 3.

Both games have a lot to explore if you don't want to just plough through the main story line.

Both run excellently with Proton, haven't found any issues with many hours of play.

I just finished The Witcher 1 and started with Witcher 2.

Sadly I couldn't use my Witcher 1 savegames. Seems not to work, because I bought TW1 on GOG and TW2 on steam :-(

So I do not have my nice Swords and less Orens.

Otherwise I had lots of fun with TW1 and will play all three titles to enjoy the whole story.
