Check out what anti-cheat enabled games work on Linux / SteamOS on our dedicated anti-cheat compatibility page.

Mixing what I can only describe as vibes somewhere between Half-Life, F.E.A.R. and Quake, the upcoming SPRAWL zero has an impressive demo you need to check out.

In SPRAWL Zero, you take on the role of FIVE, a cybernetically enhanced supersoldier. As the city plunges into chaos, you must take down a radical techno-religious group. You can choose multiple paths and alternate approaches, while wielding a massive arsenal of weapons along with FIVE's cybernetics as tools of destruction.

There's some fun physics in this one with object destruction and item throwing that gives it a really good feel. I haven't been this instantly impressed in a retro-fuelled FPS in a while, the last probably being Selaco but now SPRAWL zero is firmly on my radar and my wishlist. Some top action in this so I can't wait to see more from it.

The item throwing reminded me so much of Control, that every time he picked up an item in that trailer, my brain made the "wwoooop" noise from Control! 😅

This looks superb. Definitely wishlisting.
