DRM has been blown out the airlock, as X4: Foundations for Linux is now on GOG

Sad to say but I'm done with buying on GOG until they release Galaxy on Linux. Manual download and updates are things of the past. Yes, I know about lgogdownloader, and no, it isn't a replacement.

Deep Rock Galactic continues being some of the most fun I've had in a while, thanks to Steam Play

Quoting: Alm888And what it has to do with gaming on Linux, again?
It's gaming, and it's on linux, hence, "gaming on linux".

Quoting: Alm888Is launching any random Windows game through WINE worthy of a news article?
If the game is good and runs flawlessly, I think so.

Planet Nomads has left Early Access and feels like a big missed opportunity
3 May 2019 at 6:24 pm UTC

I have played Planed Nomads a bunch of times, trying to like it, with no joy at all, and I do play NMS in XBOX quite often, enough to say that I strongly disagree with your statement. Since the latest patches with vehicles and base building it is far better than PN. It's not even fair to compare both, NMS is way better in almost every aspect. Maybe the only thing that PN has better is the building which gives you more freedom, but this happines quickly fade out due to insane performance issues. VR is comming to NMS and also a trully online mode (not just coop which it has now).

Quoting: gurvI strongly disagree about recommending NMS instead of Planet Nomads.

Having played both, I can tell you Planet Nomads is way more interesting than NMS.
NMS gets dull very quickly because every planet and every solar system feels so generic (the exactly identical space station interior doesn't really help with that).

The building and discovery is much better in Planet Nomads, provided you have some creativity and like building and optimizing things.

Unfortunately, I must admit that Planet Nomads is plagued by performance problems that probably stem from their database storage (sqlite). This is what made me stop playing, but I still got 140hours out of it so can't complain.
And I will probably try to revisit it and check if performance is better (especially when I'll have my shiny new Ryzen 3000 series cpu :P)

No need to bottle it all up as Wine 4.7 is out with an updated Mono engine and more

Quoting: garpuCan't wait for d9vk to be production-ready. I'm hoping it makes a difference with Guild Wars 2.
Same here! GW2!!!

The MMO 'Albion Online' has officially gone free to play and it supports Linux

Did a quicky try yesterday late night when the queues were gone. Didn't finish the tutorial yet, but one thing that annoyed me was the locked camera, also the point-and-go Diablo movement style is not really my cup of tea, I'm more to the hack and slash of Guild Wars 2. I'll give another go this weekend, because it is a native linux game, but I doubt it gets me hooked just as much as GW2.

Dandara, a gravity-defying 2d metroidvania platformer that's worth a look

Out of curiosity, Dandara was inspired by real life person - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dandara [External Link]

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

Guild Wars 2 (World vs World 90% of the time)

The massive 7 Days to Die update Alpha 17 is live now for everyone

Did the AI changed from the previous A17 experimental build to this release? Because if not, it is one of the most stupid AI I've ever seen. It completely breaks the immersion to me. And when I mean stupid, I'm not saying they are easy, on the contrary, they will hunt you down wherever you are, just ripping concrete blocks straight to you. Lost the hope on this one. Unless you are a builder and turn off zombies totally, they took out the (little) fun it once had.

On a bright side, the vehicles are great and the performance in general is better, the perk system was a good idea (with terrible implementation ), but that's all.
