I stopped making changes to the list in 2024, as almost everything (except games with core-level anti-cheat) works without any additional tweaks out of the box. Thanks in particular to Steam Deck for this.🐧
Introduction
This list includes links to reviews in several languages: [eng] — English, [rus] — Russian, [fra] — French, [spa] — Spanish, [por] — Portugues, [ces] — Czech, [deu] — German, [pol] — Polish, [fin] — Finnish, [ukr] — Ukraine, [chi] — Chinese and [tur] — turkish.

There is a curator pages Linux игры (игры == games) with recommendations on languages mentioned above. You could use it as hint when browsing game pages after subscription.

Some of negative reviews was moved to a Linux has no games curator page. This is an addition to a "Linux игры" curator page.

[Steam play] words marked the games without native GNU/Linux port which could be run by using Steam Proton[github.com]. Corresponding curator page is Proton On Linux.

I must warn that the substantial part of the reviews have a very small amount of information, except the fact that the review exists and the author at least launched the game in the GNU/Linux environment. In the future I will improve these situation.

The classification by genre is rather voluntary. Corrections and additions will be accepted with gratitude.

I want to add my review to the list
The base condition: the reference to GNU/Linux.

It helps if you add an information about GNU/Linux distribution, graphics card (driver info) and CPU/memory/game controller if it relevant. Also information about occurred during playing time problems and it resolving is a good thing. After that just post a link to the review here.

After adding a link to your review in the list you could add to the text of your review a line:

Well, I'm genuinely sorry, but my brother played Deltarune on his Windows-based computer. :( ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

✔ This is "Steam for Linux " list
✔ GNU/Linux is a OS, not a computer
✔ GNU/Linux is normal

"@GirlsRuleInternet101 But still, if you want me to add the game to the list, please point me to a Steam review where it's been tested on a GNU/Linux environment. I'll add a link to it." Why not on a normal computer? That's probably where MOST Deltarune players are playing it from.

It actually released on the 5th of June, technically.

@WHOLE of Deltarun

Steam Release Date 4 June 2025

The list only applies to a subset of games on Steam

*sigh* I meant the WHOLE of Deltarune. Not just the newest chapters.

@GirlsRuleInternet101 Deltarune was released in the summer of 2025 and is officially fully compatible with Steam Deck. Everything is fine with it. :critterbig:

So.......you just didn't consider Deltarune necessary. :|
