It already sounds almost repetitive, but the world of video game on Linux is having a golden age with new titles and the interest of certain companies and developers in porting or even releasing titles exclusively for the penguin platform. Last year we already made a similar ranking, and for this year we will once again create a list with the best 25 existing video game titles for GNU / Linux and for SteamOS or Valve's Steam Machine.

As you know, you can buy or download these video games in various places or stores, but the most prominent and the one with the most movement is Steam. That's why I advise you to go back for it and see all the games that exist for your Linux, surely you will have fun for many hours with them. Well, whatever the method of acquiring the titles, or even if you opt for some free and open source ones, the important thing is that you have fun. For this reason, we help you with this article to make a selection of the best that there is at the moment.

However, as always, it is a matter of taste. The titles are the most varied, and the categories to which they belong as well. Therefore, it is difficult to make a selection that everyone agrees with. But our selection of top 25 games is

    Total war: Warhammer? I think that game deserves a spot on this list.

  2.   MZ17 said

    Exactly, I am missing TW Warhammer and also TW Attila and Football Manager 2017.

  3.   Gustavo Adolfo said

    It seems to me that Tomb Raider is worthy of this among the first places

  4.   Marcos Yepez said

    Dioooooossss Pillar is an RPG, what a bad article.

  5.   Antonio said

    Alien Isolation

  6.   Sebas said

    I like Insurgency, it's not very famous. It is a tactical shooter, basically you cannot go rambo like in CoD or others. I was surprised that it had a version for linux.

    I have only played dying light and it needs almost twice the machine to play it on linux ...

  8.   jack said

    and League Of Legend when will they include it ???

    1.    Gonzalo said

      There are posts on the game's forum of creating a Linux version of LOL and the creators absolutely pass

  9.   Root said

    I miss you 0 AD is a great game with excellent graphics.

  10.   MORZILLO said

    You say that you are passionate about computers and F1 and you do not put F1 2015 or 2017 ... well, seeing the date of the article, maybe it was not for sale yet. But I play it at 4K full screen with all the filters, except the Anti-Aliasing and it goes like a shot at 70fps on average. (Amdgpu driver with gigabyte RX Vega64)

    Also the Tomb Raider and the Rise of the Tomb Raider are very good.
    The Human Fall Flat, Goat simulator, The witcher 2, which is one of the best despite the English ... Of online shooting in Linux we have VERDUN, which is a great game.

    I do not forget the TRINE saga, wonderful and with Spanish developers in the garlic: D
    The Talos Principle, the first to come out in VULKAN, not Doom, which came out on windows ...

    And then some great games like Surgeon simulator, American truck simulator, Paint the Town in red, which is amazing and you have a laugh, Octodad Dadliest catch, another game joke ... The Shroud of the avatar-Fprsaken Virtues, which is a Hilarious multiplatform ROL game that is not finished and is still being developed, but with what it takes, we can already enjoy a good game of that style at 4K even with beautiful scenarios.

    I'm not very fond of shooting games, but Spec OPS The line is quite a nice game to look at and you can enjoy some good dialogues :)

    Then there is the bloody Shadow Warrior… beastly with his katanas gutting… .this…. cutting demons "hair" :-)

    And many other great titles such as Savage Lands… Serious SAM 3 BFE and the fusion Beta 2017, with which you can enjoy many Serious Sam, Left For Dead and Half Life titles, super-playable Titulazos that work on almost any computer.

    And then already like GTA…. the Saint row saga, brutal !!! We also have almost all the native games available in GNU / Linux, it is a cane. And okay, they are not GTA, but it looks like it and even sometimes with better attributes.

    And I leave some other good ones… .Amnesia, Outlast, Road Redemption (my favorite road Rash guy since it started on the kickstarter), the Overlord Saga… LIMBO, Killing Floor, Brutal Legend, which is a platform-beat-em-up. very cool and with good content, the GRID Autosport, Dirt rally and dirt showdown, terrible games and with some luxury graphics and gameplay ... Fahrenheit, the indigo Propecy, which is a very good adventure ... Deadfall adventures and Chivalry Medieval Warfare and its deadliest expansion Warriors ... the old Bound by Flame, the Alien: Isolation, that's okay, it's not that good, but at first it's sublime until Another world gets screwed hahahaha, which is a reconverted mythical game, the Borderlans Saga you already mentioned it, but that of Bioshock? Infinite is one of the best Linux games !!! Then there is the Dead Island saga with its Dead Island, Dead Island definitive edition (which is the same but with improvements) and the Dead Island Riptide definitive edition, which are great Zombie games.

    And one of my favorites, The Book of Unwritten Tales :-) One of the best graphical adventures on Linux.

    A pleasure until another! I'm going to have a vice :-)
