Multiplayer is much more populated ever since they enabled the quick match functionality.

Really nice 80s imitation. A lot of indie games go for pixel graphics simply because it is easier but Gunmetal actually appears to go for that console-on-a-CRT-television appearance.

Quoting: ShmerlI suppose Steam is becoming more like itch.io, with barely any filtering of what's submitted. There is some benefit in that too (GOG filtering can prevent some good games occasionally from coming out there). But the downside is of course a huge noise of various irrelevant stuff.
The various approaches to quality control, by store:

Rocket League should now perform better on Mesa with radeonsi

It is still in beta as far as I'm concerned. I'm still waiting for an update that will allow me to hear the game's audio.
Getting the 'threaded GL dispatch' code into Mesa is causing some issues, Valve might use a white-list

If SteamOS does adopt a whitelist for this, it really could become a "best distro for gaming" out of the box.
Croteam say all Serious Sam games are on their way to Linux with Vulkan, also VR on Linux teaser from Valve

Talos is actually the perfect kind of game for VR. It's not heavy on action and perspective plays a huge role. I wish more companies would announce updates like this.
Looks like Killing Floor 2 may be coming to Linux from Knockout Games

Super Pilot, a cool futuristic racing game could get a Linux version

Of all the indie futuristic racers, this one comes closest to F-ZERO. All the others seem to be trying to mimic Wipeout.

Quoting: WorMzyI'm curious what you think of CounterStrike: GO and TF2 then. CounterStrike was the major multiplayer shooter when I was younger, and although TF2 is more of a hat simulator these days, I hear it still has shooter and multiplayer elements.
"major multiplayer shooters" being code for Call of Duty. Sorry, but I consider Counter Strike to be in a different class entirely.

EDIT: To elaborate, CoD is basically the Mario Kart of FPS in that it levels the playing field with all sorts of BS perks and drops and killstreaks whereas Counter Strike essentially has no skill ceiling.

This site is the only reason I bought the game. Ballistic is the closest thing we have to the major multiplayer shooters.
