Minecraft

Terraria

Stardew Valley

Those three are great for relaxing after a long day

FTL: Faster Than Light

Zachtronics games (TIS-100, Shenzhen I/O, Exapunks)

FEZ

Portal / Portal 2

XCOM

Deus Ex (Super old but quite good, I started it recently. I had best results in Proton selecting the software renderer in the first launch dialog instead of DX9)

Grand Theft Auto

Assassins Creed IV (I had trouble running this under Proton though, had to use Windows)

Planetside 2 is MMO but you can play singleplayer. Windows only unfortunately, but there's nothing else like it.

I recommend Deus Exe [0] for playing Deus Ex. And yes, it's still an awesome game.

Good list. Just for pedantic's sake: only a few of them ary indie games.

Like a book there are so many games it can be difficult to find a starting place for recommendations. What’s a game of two you’ve liked before?

Red Dead Redemption 2 is really good

Personally: Terraria, C&C
