A few years back I was able to play through all of How To Survive - A 3rd person survival action game based on several tiered islands. As you slay zombies, search for food, water and resources... you can craft a bunch of neat gear and weapons. The goal was to survive night & day and leave the island alive.

Played some Gauntlet recently in a LAN party online. I've played before and even created a guide in PlayOnLinux, but now it runs beautifully in Steam with Proton. I was able to play an online game and invite friends who are using Windows. It ran perfectly! No bugs or graphical issues.

I have been playing Alan Wake recently (tested previously but never finished) and decided to give DXVK a try. It runs really well with only minimum graphical artifacts.
