Our top favourite Linux games released in 2020

Quoting: 1xokWith CK3 as the only AAA title, if you want to adopt this classification.

I often find the indie games so much more interesting than the AAA games. And even if Hellpoint isn't AAA, it's definitely AA in my book :-)

Currently, I am losing too many hours to Tallowmere II. It's sooo frustrating!

Quoting: randylAn official supported native port is released within 6 months of the Windows release, but then balk because "the price is too high".

Linux gamers are then puzzled why commercial game developers continue to balk at releasing and supporting native ports.

There was a time when I had stupid amounts of money to throw at games, but now I have a family that time has long since passed. Not all of us have £54 to spend on a game.

I will always support a Linux release, but within my budget. I imagine plenty of Wintendo users baulk at that price too.

Looks very promising, but those prices are a little too steep for me at the moment. I'll wait for some sales to start :-) On my wishlist, though!

Rogue-lite dungeon crawler Tallowmere 2 is over the top and ridiculously fun

This is a great dungeon slasher, with kitties! I'm rubbish at staying alive but it's great fun when you fill the room with bombs and watch the mental explosions :-)

Looking forward to this and glad to hear Linux is once again supported. Sunless Seas and Sunless Skies are two of my favourite games :-)

Thanks, I almost had beer all over my monitor then :-)

Check out Sonic 3 A.I.R., a fan-made remaster now available on Linux

Realising that I have a copy of Sonic 3 on Steam, I've just downloaded and installed A.I.R., though yet to have a proper playthrough. Looks good, though!

It's hard to believe but Counter-Strike has turned 20 and it's still going strong

What got me hooked on playing online was Quake and Quakeworld back in the mid-to-late 1990s. I must say that CS never quite engaged me, though I appreciate its popularity.

EDIT: Forgot to add that I was part of Team Yellow on CIX back in the day, and played against the likes of Coerj. What ever happened to him..?

What have you been gaming on Linux recently? Come have a chat

I've just finished the excellent Sense - 不祥的预感: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story, though apparently there is an NG+ and NG++. Probably leave that for a while, though :-) I also finished Synergia which is a very thoughtful visual novel.

Ziggurat 2 and Crystal Caves HD are one ones getting my attention at the moment, though :-)

Just downloaded and installed the game and it launched on my system with no issue. Only completed one level so far but it's great fun :-)
