For anyone unfamiliar with Linux gaming, at this point, whether or not a game has a native Linux runtime is kind of irrelevant.
In fact, it has been my experience, that Windows versions of many games run better with Proton than their Linux counterparts. Probably because more work goes into the Windows versions to optimize.
Either way, still good to know who's actually trying out there.
Proton has been a blessing and a curse. What's the point of making a native Linux version when you can more easily make it work well with Proton (or don't bother at all and it might still work with Proton).
I mean, if it works it works. I'm fine with using proton.
Good list. I've played about half of those, and most of the rest are on my wishlist. Now my wishlist is a little longer.
Of the games on this list that I have, they are, indeed great
Now I'm going to look away and pretend to forget, because I do not need to buy more games for my unplayed backlog, today.
