Alr first of lemme clear it up, i use Linux so i need something compatible. Ik and have experience with setting up wine and Lutris for windows games so its okay if you suggest smth like that but pls make my life a bit easier :3
So im like fps games like CS:GO/CS2 and i really enjoy that game, the only thing sucks is community and lack of communication. Like for a team based fps, communication is must and ppl don’t talk.
Please suggest me some FREE games to play. Yeah i don’t mind single players too, you can suggest some good ones. Umm i want smth like fps and that stuff. Normal grinding game or story games works too. Tbh im just lost and don’t know what i want lol. Thankies:)
System spec: 8GB ram and RTX 3050
If you’re committing solely to video games, it looks like you already know what you want.
There’s so many good solo board games out there.
And so much to read.
My backlog goes on for millennia.
Classic DOOM has best Linux support of all games in my opinion. Because it was opensourced and plenty of great community-maintained source ports.
Doom has tons of amazing community-made content (WADs) made within last 30 years. Like what other games have mods that feature whole original soundtracks? It also has pretty competitive speedrunning and multiplayer scene. And some very, very difficult levels.
So to play the game you need port and also IWAD files containing levels, textures, etc. Official iwads are not free. So your options are
- Buy D1+D2 on steam/gog, grab the iwads, ignore official source port and go play much better community ones
- Pirate the iwads. Extremely easy, the files didn’t change since the 90s and have been shared all over the Internet.
- First episode of D1 is free. Search for Doom Shareware. It’s packaged in some distros even.
- Use the community-made iwad replacements from freedoom project. These are completely foss and also the website has some source port recommendations so probably start with them. I myself started playing DOOM with freedoom :)
Deadlock. Lots of communication, if you have a good team. Third person shooter MOBA w/ heavy moderation (people actualy get comm banned for being shitty). Will have to go to the discussion page in steam and get an invite tho.
…it’s wild that it’s one of the most played games on steam and still needs an invite. -_-
Wait i have heard ppl i one discord server talk abt this. Dk what the game is about but might try it. Thanks
Take this from another avid FPS enjoyer of decades - it fucking rocks.
Depending on your region and time of day, the communication can be very much what you’d expect from Counter-Strike and Valve games in general, but it’s easier to get people talking like a team. Probably just for now as the game is still invite-only and somewhat niche. Like, you not having played it with the kind of query you’re making the starter post? That’s a genuine surprise.
Fun to learn and master, especially after mostly FPS.
And since we’re here, THE FINALS. Easily the most unique online FPS that is also completely free, their Cashout gamemode being something you just can’t describe through other games - it’s not bomb defusal, it’s not capture-the-flag, it’s not king-of-the-hill, but it’s awesome. Treat yourself to something new and fun, trust another CS player - it’s really good.
My suggestions are all open-source, and therefore free forever.
Beyond All Reason is an amazing RTS. I’ve heard people say it’s one of the best RTS in existence, but I haven’t played any other RTS myself, so I can’t verify that.
Space Station 14, a remake/continuation of Space Station 13, is a top-down multiplayer role-playing game. I like to describe it as “Among Us but in way more complicated”, but it is sooo much more than that. The learning curve is steep, and rounds usually go for at least an hour, but if you want to try out new stuff, give it a go. In my experience, the community is really welcoming of new players.
SuperTuxKart is arguably the definitive open-source MarioCart clone.
SS14 is… an experience. I recommend it to everyone. Probably about 6% of people who try it will stick around, but those people who do stick around are going to lock in on it for the next 1800 hours.
I’ve been playing since the days of SS13 and the BYOND launcher, the Nanotrasen Experience is very near and dear to my heart.
There’s really no way to understand or describe this game without just playing it yourself or watching someone else do so. “Giga AmongUs” is probably one of the closest attempts I’ve seen to describe it accurately. 100 people are dropped on a space station, you all have jobs to perform, and the station will inevitably experience a gruesome and impressive structural failure in about an hour due to one of many, many possible reasons. Get to work and try not to die for as long as possible. Watch out for aliens, space wizards, space cultists, teams of corporate saboteurs from rival companies, communist revolutionaries, and perhaps most importantly and commonly, the sheer ineptitude of your fellow employees.
