Let’s leave Steam and other launchers and distribution platforms alone a bit. Also lets stop discussing game engines for moment …

  • What are your favorite games that run natively on Linux and what genre are they?

Would be cool if you could write a few words about the game and why it’s your favorite game.

  • Neverwinter Nights

    • It was the first native Linux game I’ve ever played and I enjoyed every minute of it.
  • Unreal Tournament 99/2004

    • It was fun when my reflexes were better. I can’t stand no chance anymore since I got old 🤣
  • RTCW, Wolf:ET

    • Not as fast-paced as UT99 but still enjoyable.
  • Metro Last Light/Redux/Exodus

    • I’ve played Metro 2033 on Win7 and was really surprised about Metro Last Light being ported to Linux. It was a pretty good port IIRC. Metro Exodus was also really enjoyable but I’m a bit disappointed about the enhanced edition not being ported to Linux.
  • BioShock: Infinite

    • Just as I was ready to give up on trying to get B:I running on Wine, 2k dropped the bomb. VirtualProgramming’s Linux ports aren’t popular, but it wasn’t that bad TBH.
  • Serious Sam 3: BFE / Fusion 2017

    • SS3 was really showing me the limits of my old AMD GPU but with a more recent one and Fusion 2017’s Vulkan power everything went fine.

I’m 46 and it took weeks for me to become competitive in Battlebit. You can still do it, it just takes a much bigger investment in effort and time.
