As the title says: What is the best native Linux games?

      This is the right answer. CKAN is also on Linux and makes modding a breeze.

      Sadly KSP2 does not have a Linux build and also doesn’t run well in Proton. But then again, it’s also a bit hot garbage.

      Good game but I think I would recommend paying through proton anyway because the native realise seems rather forgotten about.

          I wouldn’t give the original devs a hard time. It seems like they did an amazing job with very few resources. I don’t even blame them for releasing a Linux native port as an afterthought, even that is better than most.

          I will be very very surprised if KSP2 sees any meaningful improvement before being shut down.

    Damn so many great ones to choose from. I am big fan of Paradox strategy games, kinda in that order: Stellaris, Hearts of iron IV and Europa Universalis IV.

    Mindustry, sort of like factorio but open source and free on itch. Although you can also buy it on steam

    Right now I’m really getting into old school games or games that have the old school look. Here’s a few which have native Linux support:

    • Stardew Valley
    • Broforce
    • Carrion
    • Dusk
    • FTL: Faster Than Light
    • Huntdown

    I have a long list :)

    Dota2 & CS GO Paradox strategy games (JRepin had listed)

    Many non-strategy games published (not developed by) by Paradox Interactive are also providing native Linux games, incl. Cities: Skylines, Surviving Mars, Tyranny

    The games I keep coming back and playing since years are Factorio and Cities Skylines. And Minecraft if you call a Java program native. All because of the vast number of mods that exist. And Dota now and then for playing with friends.

    Aside from some of the things mentioned here, Death Trash is a pretty neat indev rpg.

    I really like Golf With Your Friends.

    Mount & Blade Warband is fantastic and I highly recommend it if you haven’t played it.

    Unrailed! is a neat little coop game to play with friends. If you buy this one on Steam you can use remote play together so only one person in your group needs to buy it.

    Ultimate Chicken Horse is fun for a while with friends. Same deal with remote play together with this game.

    Both Hotline Miami games are really fun.

    Don’t know about them being the best, but I’ve been playing Valheim and Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun and having a good time with both.

    I go back to Battle for Wesnoth a few times a year. There are many new scenarios over the recent years.
