sigmalephmy Christmas present was a Steam gift card*, some of which is going to stuff i was previously considering buying but most of which does not have a designated target yet. requesting recs for video games under the following restrictions:
1) it's available on Steam
2) runs on Linux natively**.
don't worry about genre and such, just tell me stuff you like and i will do further sorting myself. i have genre preferences but want to explore the space outside them.
*technically it was cash, given in the spirit that i spend it on video games. the person gifting me noticed that i had listed among possible presents in my wishlist a Steam gift card but thought it'd ruin the surprise if i got it before the Christmas present exchange, so they put money in an envelope. accepting the gift in the spirit in which it was given i earmarked an equivalent amount of money for video game purchases
**yes, i know proton exists. i have terrible luck with it.

- Hollow Knight
- Terraria
Further recommendations:
- BAD END THEATER
- Cave Story+
- Celeste
- Civilization V
- Crypt of the NecroDancer
- Cultist Simulator

- FTL: Faster Than Light
- Into the Breach
- Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight
- Planescape: Torment (they're only selling the enhanced edition now, which I haven't played, but nothing I've heard about it suggests that it's *worse* than the base edition)
- Portal 2
- Undertale
- VVVVVV
Separate list for visual novel recommendations, since I'm not sure whether or not they count relevantly as 'games' for you:
- Doki Doki Literature Club!
