It's Sunday and another week has flown by, in part thanks to all the wonderful limited-time demos that have been available for a few days during the Steam Game Festival.

Thanks to the Steam festival, the choice of gaming available has been tougher than ever. Do you jump through your vast backlog of titles or wet your taste-buds with one of the demos? Choices, choices. Here's a reminder of some recent interesting new releases for Linux:

Admittedly, my own time has been spread across a great many titles. Although, thanks to Titanfall 2 now working well on Linux with Steam Play Proton I will admit to having the need to go and play a lot more. Apart from that, I've also been feeling the ARPG call from Last Epoch, now that it's up to date and working very nicely, a proper gem in the rough and could be quite big once fully released. So many skills to master, loot coming out of everything you can fashion into a pocket and so many different types of enemies. Last Epoch is really one that action RPG fans need to take a look into.

Over to you in the comments section: what have you been playing recently?

[Insurgency (Source)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/222880/Insurgency/) mainly, but also [Snake Pass](https://store.steampowered.com/app/544330/Snake_Pass/) (thx Houtworm) a nice game with unusual controls that works without any problem so far with Proton 5.0-9! emoji

I am currently playing through Buldur's Gate Enhanced Edition.

Even though I had the original, I never got to finish it, being a much bigger JRPG player.
I've got two "Tales of" games to finish on Proton, namely Zestiria and Berseria, but I just had a sudden urge to play something more deep and complex, and also less action-oriented.
I already went through big troubles and lost much money in resurrection costs, damn those games were quite harsh.

I have been playing [Euro Truck Simulator 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/Euro_Truck_Simulator_2/) and [American Truck Simulator](https://store.steampowered.com/app/270880/American_Truck_Simulator/)using [this script](https://github.com/lhark/truckersmp-cli) to run multiplayer via proton. It is awesome!

[X4 ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/392160/X4_Foundations/) the most.

[Elite Dangerous](https://store.steampowered.com/app/359320/Elite_Dangerous/), runs great with Proton.

and the demo [Everspace 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1128920/EVERSPACE_2/) runs great with Proton-5.9-GE-2-MF and the launch option: -dx11

Demos mostly. :D

* ASYLUM Demo
Just touched shortly, I fear not being able to move freely is not my thing anymore. :-(
* Slender Threads Demo
Nice light horror, put on wish list
* Saint Kotar: The Yellow Mask
Dark horror, lots of myterious talking, little actual game in the demo. So disturbing that I had to fetch a blanket. Supported it on Kickstarter (third backing ever). It gave me some Last Crown vibes - anybody can relate to this?
* The Last Cube Demo
(At first I was confounding this one with Parabox - too many games this weekend. :) )
Nice look and feel, unsure about the puzzling. Following the game.
* DRAG Demo
Nice one but I'm just too bad at racing.
* art of rally Demo
Nope.
* Nine Noir Lives Demo
Need to play more of it, not too much into this cat thing ATM.
* Patrick's Parabox Demo
Well, when the recursive boxes came, I was captivated. Put on follow list.
* Whateverland: Prologue
Did not really get into it, will take a look later.
* The Long Gate Demo
Nice presentation, but found it a bit too fiddly to try my solutions. And in the end... OR, NOT and AND...? Hm.
* The House of Da Vinci
My go to game at the moment (yes, fell for Proton whitelisted)

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat and Cities: Skylines. I've completed Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Painkiller Hell & Damnation recently.

The Messenger with Proton-GE. A nice Ninja Gaiden-like game with humorous dialogues. Bosses can be tough though, I'm stuck at the Devil boss.
I also have downloaded a bunch of new demos on Steam, played none yet.

It's Alwa's Legacy almost non-stop for me.

X the most.

Do you get graphics corruption when you minimize the game?

Finished Detroit: Become Human and started a second playthrough. It works pretty good on NVIDIA, has some stutters in open areas (not related to shader compilation because it uses Vulkan natively, must be something else in Wine) but otherwise okay. Great interactive story with fantastic visuals and interesting characters!

It's been back to Two Point Hospital for me this weekend.

I just finished Saints Row IV. It was pretty good, the port had performance issues but the game itself was fun. Just started a horror visual novel called "The Letter" last night. Enjoying ikt so far.

I finally finished KOTOR 2 last night, so I feel like I'm at a bit of a loose end now. Those two have occupied pretty much all of my spare time for the last six weeks. Not that I don't have plenty of unfinished/ongoing games to play; I'll just have to see what sparks my interest next.

I had another look at Morrowind after the latest OpenMW release, only to realise it's three years since I last touched it, and I'd completely forgotten how to play. emoji So there's a better-than-even chance I'll start another playthrough of that.

Finally finishing Pillars of Eternity. Switched to "Easy", this is clearly not my genre.

With the release of OpenMW 0.46, started my second playthrough of TES III: Morrowind with just about 7 mods. It looks gorgeous!

Isn't Morrowind way harder than PoE? :)

I've just started Project Warlock, an old school Hexen like, really fun and really fast, I really like it.
Works on Proton but not optimally, you must switch the graphic options on low to have decent framerate. It's not too bothering since it's retro pixel-art.

I've bought Detroit: Become Human and refunded it, 1 hour of playtime and 3 crash with one rebooting my computer, I thought it was my cpu temp but no problem on this side. And heavy graphical glitches on top of that. I will buy it again when all this will be ironed.

Else, still fiddling with Godot.

Next, I'm hesitating between Halo: MasterChief Edition or Star Wars: Fallen Order right after I'm finished with ME: Andromeda & South Park:Fractured but whole (Not sure if I will finish it, not as fun as the first one or I'm getting too old for this...).
