Wow, I didn't know that Blackwell series is available on mobile. How do you find the whole series? I wasn't very impressed after first episode, to be honest.

And how is Virginia? I've purchased the game during the last sale tempted by a very low price.

So far, only the first three games are available on Android. They are on the Google Play store. As one can tell from my list, I really enjoyed them all, but they do get better as the series goes along.

I liked Virginia. It is very linear, but it has an interesting story and a real magical-realism vibe to it.
So here's my short list for the year (too much time on non-completable games). I'll add

Game I started in 2016 but still failed to get into: Pillars of Eternity

Sequels to games I finished in 2017 that I couldn't play because of technical issues:
Crysis Warhead - crashed like crazy in wine
Lands of Lore 2 - a dosbox game, but one of those early 3d ones that runs poorly, I even built the dosbox version that came with it to try to get glide working, but whilst it fixed carmageddon, in LOL 2 it just crashed out dosbox and run with a high pitched whine reminding me of the good days of running a monitor at a resolution it can't run and rapidly hitting a power switch before something goes POP.

Completed (Except for the wine games, all were run native linux)

Mad Max
Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition
Xcom-Enemy Unknown
Crysis (wine)
XCOM 2
Saints Row Gat Out of Hell (steam - because you know no linux version here)
Lands of Lore 1 (dosbox)
Deadlight (wine)
Doom (doomsday)
Alien Isolation
Doom 2 (doomsday)
Borderlands 2

Lands of Lore 1 is great, isn't it? I played the game year ago for the first time. Really nice experience.

I had some issues with running Lands of Lore 2 in DosBox. Finally I've decided to take an easy way and installed the game under Wine, using PlayOnLinux. It's ugly solution (Dosbox under Wine under PoL under Linux) and it even looks a bit ugly (without glide), but runs fine and I'm going to complete the game this way.
Games I've finished in 2017:

13/2: Bastion
21/2: Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
12/3: Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
30/3: Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
15/6: Call of Duty World at War
20/8: Shelter
23/9: Call of Duty 2
9/10: Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
20/10: The History Channel - Civil War
6/11: Battlefield Bad Company 2
5/12: Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered

Yeah, thanks I didn't check. I'll copy paste it over.

CMOT70: You see the performance mode still has a 30 fps cap! So what's the point? Even on a my 1080 display the supersampling still made a noticeable difference to the display using 4K mode, whilst I honestly couldn't notice any difference to performance in "performance mode". I spent the first 2 hours swapping and trying to see how the performance mode made any actual difference and the only thing I could see was reduced graphics.
I may be wrong, because I'm not very up-to-date with modern technologies, but isn't it Sony's requirement to make no difference between game editions? They fully control devs (it's different ecosystem than open PC gaming world). I remember reading about it when PS Pro was released and I was quite surprised how strange was that decision. I understood it was to protect customers, who already bought the previous version, but of course it made no sense to make such limitations – as we can clearly see in your case.
