Your favorite native Linux games?

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.

Mindustry (flathub). A tower defense mixed with RTS gameplay

Super addictive game

You play for 2 months non stop and then give up for 6 months and start again.

It'll take your life

It's an online rpg with an open world
Still in pre-alpha , so much of the content isn't finished, but it's already visually stunning for a voxel game and the gameplay is already quite enjoyable

Wube Factorio - sunk so many hours into this, fun, explorable and longlasting gameplay

Egosoft X4 Foundations - needs no words I think? Otherwise look it up, it's just too much going on in this game, amazing!

  • Europa Universalis IV - by far my favorite grand strategy game; most Paradox games have native Linux support
  • Factorio - I bought it when it was in early access or something straight from the developer, and they had Linux support the whole time; at the time, it was pretty much the only factory game, and it was groundbreaking
  • Black Mesa - fan made Half Life remake, and it's fantastic; again, played before the official release and it had Linux support out of the gate

Aside from the first, these aren't my favorite games I've played on Linux, just my favorite Linux native games. With Proton/WINE, I've played tons of Windows games on Linux.

  • Hyper Rogue: Roguelike set in a non-euclidian world. It redefines what a fantastic world might look like, and has a very unique atmosphere.
  • FTL: Deep space exploration ahoy. If you enjoy space operas, FTL is the thing to play.
  • Atomic Tanks: Oldschool artillery game. Great fun to play with friends.
  • Warsow: The quintessential FPS. Damn good.
  • Battle for Wesnoth, SuperTuxKart, Hedgewars are probably known. I love these.

I'm programming our games primarily for Linux OSs. I'm very fond of them.
