21 More of the Best Free Linux Games

Over the past 4 months we have continued to receive a steady stream of emails from individuals recommending games that were not included in our previous free game articles.

After much testing, we have whittled down these users' recommendations to a list of 21 highly addictive Linux games, covering as many different types of game genre as possible. Hopefully, there should be something of interest here for all types of gamers! All of these games are great fun to play.

To be eligible for inclusion in the list below, games again needed to satisfy the following requirements:

Free to play (no download charge, no monthly charge)

Does not require Wine to run. Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows software.

Not in the early stages of development

If you missed the first two parts in this series, check out 42 of the Best Free Linux Games, and 42 More of the Best Free Linux Games.

We have taken these 84 games and together with this latest set of 21 games have also compiled the Top 100 Free Linux Games, a single reference point.

Wow, great list! Love that they don't require Wine. My favorite chess program offers a native Linux version, so that's all that counts for me.

I just find games using Gentoo GNU/Linux's eix command which searches the packages in portage.
Here's the complete raw output for everything with description and url's to the game homepages:

Of course, with eix you can easily search specific categories or specific keywords/regexes. But the list should help people that don't use Gentoo.

That's 859 different entries. I think that should keep one occupied. :)

w00t! Pretty impressive list you've got there.

Could almost justify installing Gentoo if you're an avid gamer.

Thanks for sharing it! :Thmbsup:
