Factorio.

There is a free demo, start there. Most people can get a good 20 hours out of that if they enjoy it.

It can get somewhat complex if you go with mods etc. But you will get 100 hours out of it before you go down that path

The full game is worth every cent (5500 hours later…)

ExLisper OP ,

Tried it. Great game but as with lots of games of this type after some time it gets repetitive. I usually stop enjoying them after couple or hours.

SmoochPooch ,

One do a not simply stop playing factorio after 20-30 minutes

Zo0 , in Recommend me a game

Have you played ‘Vampire Survivors’? Rounds last at maximum of 30 minutes Easy to learn, but there’s a lot of content to keep you occupied It’s $5 but it goes on sale often

ExLisper OP ,

Yes, that was the last game I tried. Falls under the ‘so repetitive it hurts my brain’ category. Once you max out all the weapons it just running around with the same visuals and sounds for minutes and minutes. Fun game, enjoyed it for a bit but after couple of levels I had to put it down.

You might enjoy Broforce. Very chaotic and fast.

Another force-based recommendation is Dustforce, although that one might be a bit repetitive.

Not a Hero is pretty frantic and levels are over very quickly.

Risk of Rain 1 has native Linux. 2 does not but runs on Proton.

ExLisper OP ,

Broforce is a co-op, right? Not a hero looks great.

Sharkwellington ,

It can be played local/online 4P co-op or single player and is fun in both.

ExLisper OP ,

Ok, looks really great. Will try it out.

I’d recommend Borderlands 2. It runs beautifully even on Intel HD4000 and it’s less than $5 on sale. It’s much better with friends, but I’ve enjoyed most of it by myself and absolutely love it.

You may also try Hero’s hour and Death road to Canada.

ExLisper OP ,

Death road to Canada

Got it. It’s awesome.

ExLisper OP ,

Death road to Canada.

I made it to Canada!

That’s so cool. What was you playthrough like? I believe the first time I got to the border I only had a dog with a shotgun left.

ExLisper OP ,

Fairly easy. I found a guy with a huge sword and good melee weapons. I was able to smash everything and save enough ammo to just shoot my way through the last hoards.

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.)

UltraBlack , in Recommend me a game

Vampire Survivors (and just get the DLCs as well, it’s cheap)

You’ll never get more bang for your buck on steam. 60 hours and counting, even with only one DLC. I just keep unlocking amazing new stuff

From the top of my head, all these work perfectly on my 5yo Intel laptop and are often found on sale or in bundles.

Baba is You: you know that in every game, there are a fixed set of rules (“physics”), and you must use them efficiently in order to win? In this game, you must change the rules to solve puzzles. Super simple gameplay, tricky to master, really fucks your brain as you need to think outside the box.

Hotline Miami (1 and 2): top-down shooter with impeccable gameplay, level design and soundtrack. Super fast paced, die-retry-die-retry game loop, and great story too. Every level is challenging in its own way which makes it not so repetitive.

Nuclear Throne or Enter the Gungeon: procedurally generated top-down shooters, very similar to each other. Fun pixel-art, never replay the same levels although I guess it could be repetitive after a while.

ExLisper OP ,

Hotline Miami

I think I saw this game somewhere long time ago and was trying to find it. Definitely giving it a try. Thanks

ExLisper OP ,

Hotline Miami

Just finished it. It was fun, thanks!

TWeaK , in Hero of the Kingdom II for free on GoG

Hmm, you have to agree to marketing. I have a unique email, we’ll see if they start selling it to third parties.

LinuxDonald OP ,

Yeah maybe but you get the game for „free“ it’s the same as using google search 😅

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

A few games that I think could fit your requirements: Just Shapes and Beats, Among Us (yes seriously), Team Fortress 2, Rocket League
