Quoting: GuppyI knew my kids played more than me this past year but that list is almost shamefull

I wonder what the average age of someone posting on GOL is. Everyone seems awfully mature. ;)

My list for 2017 goes like this:

1. 7 Days To Die
2. RUST
3. Dungeon Warfare
4. Dungeon Rushers (very grindy, don't recommend)
5. Crypt of the Necrodancer
6. Sky Force: Anniversary
7. Sky Force: Reloaded
8. FTL
9. Tomb Raider
10. Rezrog
11. HITMAN
12. Serious Sam Fusion (1, 2, 3 BFE)
13. This War of Mine
14. Planet Nomads
15. Iron Snout (free on Steam)
16. Metro 2033 Redux
17. Diamo XL
18. Ziggurat
19. Xonotic (free game)
20. Valley
21. Everspace
...

The time goes from about 300 hours in 7D2D to about 17 hours in Tomb Raider... and then diminishes from there.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I spend more time looking for game bargains than playing (doh).
Today I hit 1300 titles on Steam (763 Linux ones = 58.6%)

One more thing to mention... Even though I've got loads of Windows games (many acquired through bundles) I don't think I've booted up to Windows in 12 months to play any of them. (The previous year I did play some DOOM and Watch Dogs 2 on Windows.)

It was a good year of gaming. I tried so many games like:
XCOM 2 -- with Shen's Last Gift
Lure of the Temptress -- with walkthrough
The Blackwell Legacy (PC)
Blackwell Unbound (PC)
Blackwell Convergence (PC)
The Blackwell Epiphany
But if to speak about games in real life then the best was the "Aztecs" adventure escape room last summer in LA . We spent about an hour to get out of the room. I didn't mention that it was a horror and really scary one. It was my 1st experience and it was a blast. It's much better than PC games 'cause the emotions are real.

I remember getting Lure of the Temptress back when it was released and I was able to get absolutely nowhere. I think I got to the end... using a walkthrough every step of the way.

The UT99 Linux binary just gives a Segmentation fault on modern versions of MESA:

It was far easier for me to just get the GOG.com installer for Unreal Gold working through WINE I am sorry to say.

The Witcher 3 was most obviously the crown of the year, or perhaps every game I've ever played. I played it on PS4 and have no regrets. The rest of the list was played on Linux.

From least recent to most recent:

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition PS4
2. A Bird Story
3. Spec Ops: The Line
4. SUPERHOT
5. Shadwen
6. AntVentor
7. We Were Here

I'm currently working on Shadowrun: Dragonfall and will either play Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest or Horizon: Zero Dawn after that.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided was the highlight of the year for me -- though I have to confess, that after a couple of hours with the OpenGL native port, I installed it on my windoze partition and contined from there. I'm sorry that I did this, though the difference in performance was like night & day. (By the way, the dx12 implementation in that game is totally broken; and I'm curious how dx11+dxvk would stack up against the native port.)

... also, Fallout 1, on wine. Really glad that I finally came around to playing this.

Other than that I believe I've wasted most of my time on gnome minesweeper, and NES Tetris (fceux).
