Free: Battle for Wesnoth is really great, I haven’t played it in a long time but it was already great like 10-15 years ago so it’s probably even better today, Nethack (if you don’t mind the starting difficulty and the “graphics”) is also great, VERY complex gameplay but very rewarding if you know it fairly well. Also saw a video of Xonotic today, looks also really good if you’re into fast multiplayer arena shooters (Quake-like). Heard positive things about 0 AD as well (Age of Empires-like). All of these are open source and in the extra repository on Arch.
Non-free but really cheap: Stardew Valley is probably great, I’ve never played it and it doesn’t look like my cup of tea but I’ve only heard positive things plus it’s like #1 or #2 rated on Steam, so it must be really good.
Non-free: Stellaris (got into it recently, great game and well-maintained Linux client (not at all common), much better than I expected, VERY complex and content-rich, quite expensive when you want all DLCs. It’s like a live service game, you’ll pay quite a bit if you want everything, but you also get tons of content). Also, Alien Isolation is one of my favorite single player horror games of all time and it also has a Linux client (which was a surprise for me) but that one is probably outdated and not maintained anymore by now I’d guess (but didn’t look it up) so it might be better to play the Windows client via Proton. I’m not up to date on that though - look it up. Oh, and POOLS also has a Linux client, that’s a great small walking simulator, “Backrooms”-like, very atmospheric and great visual design.
I would honestly follow where your community/friends are at. The minecraft modding community is extensive and amazing at bringing endless experiences to you, and the amount of active playthroughs willing to accept new members is likely higher on Minecraft than Minetest instances.
However, if you wish to develop and mod yourself rather than play on pre-existing modded and vanilla content, I could see some great experiences from joining a community on Minetest. But to me, Minetest is a development and educational tool, not a game.
Edit: I would highly recommend playing on the Java edition of the game, rather than bedrock, and feel free to take your time exploring the wealth of updates you likely missed.
You can pirate 'em if you’re that short on cash. Most of them don’t cost too much more than €20. 0 AD is entirely free, along with all of the Super Tux games.
-Find pirating site (I don’t really know any lol)
-Download Linux executable (FTL.x86_64)
-Maybe find a way to somehow sandbox it in case that it contains malware
-Enjoy!
Minecraft feels a lot more polished, it has more content, and more players meaning higher chance of your friends being on there, and minetest is… free :3 so if you have minecraft or considering getting it you’re not losing anything by also trying the latter. I think the project is neat, but it was not something I could stick with for a long time
Update: I bought it and it works fine. On windows, there’s no vibration, that only works on Linux.
Some games like fall guys are “too smart” and show prompts for a generic joypad instead of Xbox and so it says “press button 14” but who knows which button is internally referred as 14…
It’s the only visual novel I’ve ever played, but it excels so much at it. The writing, worldbuilding, characters, narrator, and overall “vibe” are fantastically superb. It’s also another one of those games that I can’t help but play for ~5 hours nearly every day until I finish it. I’m no video game connoisseur, so you can find more sophisticated reviews elsewhere. You can pick it up on GOG for like €10 half of the time.
It’s so deep abd so complicated, and blurs the line between literary and mechanical so expertly, that i cannot explain it without spoiling it.
Its very good, very literary, and about solving a murder. Your skills are your character’s inner monologue, and they’re all useful, but ypure kind of choosing what clues and what sort of language you get them in, how you interact with and literally read the world.
So play it, play it without reading anything else about it, and when picking skills, go with what you respond to or what character you want your detective to be. ‘Phillip marlowe’ ‘sherlock holmes’ and ‘dirk gently’ are pretty close to the three pre-sets.
