I am completely enamored with Inkbound right now. Its a turn-based tactical roguelite by the guys who made Monster Train. It has a similar feel to the combat from Marvels Midnight Suns, which I loved also. It just came out of earl access recently.

Oh and they took out all the microtransactions in the game during EA. People complained and they listened! So there are some mechanics that look like, for example, a season pass, but it's free and automatic now. I think that's pretty awesome.

Anyways, game is fun. Devs are moral. Works in linux. A++

I really should get into Linux, but I can't for the life of me...

Still making my way through Phantom Liberty in Cyberpunk 2077. It’s really good, but I had already completed the base game and I find it difficult to engage/care about it, since I already know it won’t impact the endgame. I think. Unless it does? But then, I was happy with the ending I got. So yeah, something set post-ending would’ve had me more excited, I think.

Apart from that, spending some time reacquainting myself with my zoo in Planet Zoo. It’s been two years, so that’s a fun game to return to.

Two years is a long time...

Finish? I never finish anything. But I stopped playing Ostriv. Too many rough edges and a bug made me stop completely.

Currently: Farthest Frontier: cool but still some rough edges.

Plan? I never have plans.

Ongoing once or twice a week, still: Guild Wars 2 WvW

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 6 months ago

There's a Guild Wars 3 coming out soon.

Mostly been playing Balatro, but I've now got a refurbished Steam Deck coming in a few days, so I'll definitely be playing the Crash N. Sane Trilogy I got just because I know the Steam Deck will be able to better handle it than my desktop.

Somewhat regret the purchase now, but I'm definitely not gonna regret having a Steam Deck later, when it comes.

Just a normal LCD I think. Doesn't make a huge difference to me.

Basically all Overwatch for a while for me. I group up with my kids and my brother which is a lot of fun!

As for upcoming games, I'm interested in trying Space Simulator if it ends up running on Linux.

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 6 months ago

What about Overwatch 2? Or is it out yet?

[-] hallettj@leminal.space 2 points 6 months ago

Yes, I meant Overwatch 2. They switched all the servers over so it replaced Overwatch 1. In my mind it's an update (albeit a big update), not really a different game.

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Fair enough.

I've been playing league of legends but sadly just finished my binge because they released their proprietary Vanguard kernel-level anticheat which completely makes it impossible to play LoL on Linux.

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 4 months ago

I feel like making a max0r reference now.

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 2 points 6 months ago

God of war, Arma 3 Antistasi and Helldivers2

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 6 months ago

I should get to Helldivers 2 eventually.

[-] grapemix@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Rimworld!! I love it because it's native.

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Rimworld is always fun.

[-] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Not much time to, but when I can steal away a few hours, I play Project Zomboid. Essentially the Sims meets The Walking Dead. No narrative, just looting and surviving. The learning curve is high, and death is inevitable no matter how skilled you may be. Amazing game.

I've been playing 2009scape intermittently over the last several months. It's a open source recreation of RuneScape circa early-2009. It has a nifty flatpak that just works and a very friendly community.

@Makan recently finished blasphemous
Currently playing sea of stars
The next I want to play is god of war

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 6 months ago

There's a Blasphemous 2, just so you know.

[-] maalmike@mastodon.social 1 points 6 months ago

@Makan yes, I have read about it
The list keeps growing.

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Oh yeah, always.
