What have you been playing recently and what are your thoughts?

Playing through Rise of the Tomb Raider right now. Figured I would give it a go as a good test of my new GPU. Loving it so far. Gorgeous graphics; good gameplay; not perfect but very good. I recently finished Hostil which was a decent 2D Point and Click.

As Puppygames reflect on the release of Basingstoke, they say it financially ruined them

It doesn't look like my cup of tea but i'll try to give them $5 on Itch.io when I get my tax refund.

Knightin'+, a Zelda-lite dungeon crawler arrives DRM-free on GOG

Quoting: JJNovaAwesome. Always nice to get more DRM-free releases.

Also happy to see something being added to the GoG library. It seems like a slow year for drm-free Linux games
It's slow for GOG but not overall. Itch.io has DRM free Linux releases every week.

Linux Mint and the Cinnamon desktop progressing well, all-time high donations

I switched from Cinnamon to Mate a while back and the main reason I did was the lack of refresh rate changing in the properties and more crashes than I would like. Mate has been rock solid for me but once the refresh rate changes are in there I may pop Cinnamon back on to give it another chance.

Better late than never. I'll pick it up at GOG when it's there.

Seems like Feral Interactive may have a few surprises for Linux in 2020

The games I would like to see a Linux port of most would be:

1. The Council
2. Vampyr
3. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
4. Call of Cthulhu
5. DOOM Eternal

I tried to keep it to games I actually think have a chance. Red Dead II would be an awesome game to have ported but it requires Rockstar Social Club so they would have to drop that or port it to Linux and I don't see either happening. Hellblade would be awesome but Microsoft owns the people who made it so I doubt that happens. Any Epic store exclusive also probably won't happen at least soon.

Dominus Galaxia, a 4x strategy game heavily inspired by Master of Orion 1 has a Linux demo up

I was able to play the demo on Manjaro. No issues when using the Vulkan launcher. The openG launcher wouldn't even get to the main screen. I didn't have Steam running while I played so I am not sure what the other users error message was about. I could only give them $1 due to tight times but hopefully they can reach their goal.

No Linux version of Lonely Mountains: Downhill yet due to IL2CPP in Unity

Unity has gone so far downhill when it comes to Linux support. Making UE4 look good. I wish they would open source it. Something tells me the LInux issues would get fixed faster.

If this departure messes with future native Linux versions of their games I will be mad.

Works great in Manjaro for me. I have been waiting for this kind of program for years now. Closest thing to MSI Afterburner for Linux I have seen for AMD cards. I'll Patreon this for sure.
