I have played at least Albion Online and Wakfu that run natively without any trouble, and work quite great. Lots of other run quite great using Steam compatibility layer or Lutris.
I can definitely recommend FTL: Faster Than Light. I still play it after many years in the exact same way you describe, that is short sessions. t’s all based on battles that last minutes at most while part of an overall campaign. You can quit anytime, even during battle, and it will just saw the state. You can pause during battle to think as well.
it also has simple rules but with a lot of depth. You upgrade your ship from time to time and also get new weapons or defences. It actually sounds like a perfect fit for what you want. It’s cheap too.
Definitely try again because there’s so much depth when you unlock new ship designs that are manned by other races than just human. Every time I boot it up I’m surprised how quickly 3 hours zaps by.
If you want to pay: Anything by Adamvision Studios (Note: Force compatibility mode for these games on Steam, the linux versions are wonky) Demon’s Tilt or Xenotilt
Free: Neverball (this one is probably fits best what you’re most looking for) avail in Software store on most linux distros
I’ve had GOG giveaways for years and use unique emails. GOG has never sold my email. I’m pretty sure they are doing this so they can send you emails about deals, to try to convince you to buy more games from them.
They mention this in the dialogue when you click the button but you can immediately go to https://www.gog.com/en/account/settings/subscriptions and just uncheck the option. I've done this so often on gog I've just gotten into the habit of immediately opening that page and unchecking it, basically every time you get a free game from them it checks the promotions option
Been trying to get this running for a few days now with quest 2 on pop OS 22.04 as well but with a 3080. Unfortunately I’m still getting error 307 steamvr fail with this on both normal and beta steamvr. ALVR connects and disconnects constantly at the pairing screen for me saying the connection was refused as it was already in use.
As Steam keeps breaking things for Linux(all for their stupid chromium UI overhaul) its been really hard to use VR unfortunatly.
Last resort: Try uninstalling steam and delete all steam related files(except the folder with all you downloaded games), delete all Steam and VR related files in .config and .local. This is as much of a fresh start as you can get and it should work. Use latest ALVR nightly.
Looks nice but I have to get a disk and AppImage and so special runners? Bah. But it’s interesting idea. I never really played melee games but it does sound like something I would enjoy. I will do a steam search.
Rivals of Aether is like a PC smash brothers knockoff but it’s actually really fun and has a lot of mods for community made characters. I really recommend it.
maybe I’m not cultured enough, but I find rivals more fun than smash
Nah you go to your local college and find a group a guys there who are huddled around an ancient artifact called a “GameCube” and are vigorously moving their joysticks on a controller back and forth.
Not exactly a “game”, but a collection of games – XCloud. And yes I know “Microsoft bad”, etc but its an awesome choice for extremely low powered devices like the Orange Pi zero 3. (its power consumption varies through 1W to 3W.)
t. Am typing this on mine (1 GiB) and it runs extremely well (60 fps, with almost unnoticeable hiccups.)
