DX Mankind Divided at 85% off - this one's on sale practically all the time, but hasn't gone lower than this so far acc. to steamdb.
DOOM Eternal at 75% off - I think this works fine on Proton, highly recommended.
Prey - not the lowest it's ever been (& it's frequently on sale), but I'd recommend getting it all the same. Same with Dishonored 1 & 2 (80% off).

I voted Valheim as best game of the year! sooo much fun, hope it wins.Despite what they call it, the games that win are never very Goaty. Now Goat Simulator, that was Goaty.

I might go with that. Though I haven't played in a while as I have to go and get my stuff back. Maybe some day I'll get around doing that
I'm not yet sure about rest of the categories yet. I guess it's good excuse to buy one or two more games released this year.

Space Haven is now in a bundle on humble that actually works out cheaper.

I was thinking of GOTY, often used for Game Of The Year.I thought that GOAT meant Greatest of all time, you really think that Valheim is GOAT?? unless there is another meaning I'm unaware of.I voted Valheim as best game of the year! sooo much fun, hope it wins.Despite what they call it, the games that win are never very Goaty.

I'll get Ace Combat 7 out of the way. Maybe Vanquish too.
Everything else can wait for the Winter Sale.

+1 to Prey. I played it through twice this year.
Valheim was the only game I played that was released this year, apparently, so it got my vote.
I think Cyberpunk 2077 is in my future.

I had spiritual awakening and I don't want to play any game that has any killings in it.

And a new Proton version is officially here: 6.3-8
WH40000 Space Marine works out of the box!
Sadly, the price is expensive for an old game. (at least here in Argentina with our 65% tax)

I remain disproportionally irritated that discounts are given as '-n% off', which means a price increase

I put Loop Hero for best overall, though there were a few games this year that were great and I wish I could nominate Loop Hero for more than one category (best visuals at least). It is just so well-crafted, polished, and fresh.
In this sale, I have just picked some DLC for Warhammer 40K Gladius: Relics of War; I have been really enjoying it. (Actually it went on sale yesterday due to release of a new DLC and I got it then, but it's the same). I would also recommend Northgard (my favorite RTS) and Monster Sanctuary (a very good, if difficult, creature collector+metroidvania).

Pyre is 4,20EUR
Although I'm a bit hesitant to recommend a Supergiant game after how they treated Linux with Hades, fact is, Pyre is my second favorite game of all time, so it is hard not to recommend it.
And who knows, with Steam Deck coming, if enough people buy Pyre, maybe Supergiant will actually do a Linux version for their next game (although I doubt it)

I would recommend Prey, too. I'm halfway through the game, it runs flawlessly with Proton. Great story and gameplay!

can you run Dishonored 2 just fine in Proton? because I have weird problems with mouse look and been waiting for a Proton version that would fix it.. (I've tried so many wines and protons..)
the problem is, mouse look sometimes get stuck.. laggy.. cannot turn, or it jumps. I read somewhere it has maybe something to do with fps lock or something, don't know. it's a shame, since I really liked the first game, and been anxious to play this one but haven't gotten very far as it's very frustrating..

On ProtonDB, someone recently suggested running the game with Proton-6.9-GE-2 and some extra tweaks, have you tried that?

gah.
I gave up on Prey close to the end. There was yet another bloody keycard to find. I hunted for literal hours. Eventually looked up a walkthrough and even with that I just could not find it.
I really wanted to love the game but it was just way too frustrating. Hope you have a better time with it

Why would you complain about 65% tax when you have a Che profile pic? Unless the pic is ironic?

hmm, I tried that now that you mentioned.. it's the same. I also tried all the availble launch option.. mouse look still seems to get stuck at times.. especially when enemies are near. otherwise the game works just fine and runs fast and smooth.. also mouse is smooth when it works. weird thing. :(
