For those of you who stick by your guns and only go for Native Linux games – here’s some gems that you should be looking to pick up.
All of these games should work on SteamOS machines including Steam Deck / Steam Machine, since they’re actually built for Linux. Not just that, but everything on this list has at least a Very Positive overall rating on Steam – so they should all be great picks. And, everything is under £15 too for those of you watching your budgets.
For this list I’ve also gone for more modern games, only those released in the last few years to keep our listicles like this a bit fresher.
