Quoting: adamhmAnyway, in addition to the list in the article there are also a lot of great classic first person shooters (and RPGs with FPS mechanics) that run great in Wine...
The games I played in Wine:
Doom 2016 - works fine
Wolfenstein: The New Order - works fine too
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - crashes too often, I stuck at its last level because it crashes every time I launch it.

Also, there are Arma 3, Black Mesa, Duke Nukem 3D, Postal 2, Strife, System Shock 2 and, of course, Super 3-D Noah's Ark.

My favourite are id Software games and their Linux ports.
Doom 1-2 (GZDoom)
Quake (Darkplaces)
Quake 2 (Yamagi Quake II)
Quake 3 (ioq3)
Quake 4 (native port)
Doom 3 (Dhewm3 and RBDoom3BFG)
Return to Castle Wolwenstein (iortcw)

BATTALION 1944, a competitive WW2 FPS looks like it may come with Linux support

I backed this game on Kickstarter and asked the devs then whether they were planning the Linux version. They answered they had no plans for Linux. So, it's probably just a wrong icon.

And yes, it's multiplayer-only.

Does Steam warn if a game got too many positive reviews?

Quoting: Sir_DiealotYep, to get to this page you already need to have a steam account linked to the humble store. For which you obviously need a steam account first.
Really? I had many games available as DRM-free on HB long before I linked my Steam account.

Anyway, you should register on Steam, this is not as scary as you probably think.

Quoting: PitNow Steam-only on Humble. Sad and disappointing news that is :(
It's available as DRM-free download as well.

Burst The Game, the free to play FPS arrives with broken Linux support

QuoteThe game currently has "Mixed" user reviews overall, but I would not be surprised if it jumps into Negative territory soon due to the many complaints about it. One of the biggest complaints is that it's an "asset flip", where developers buy or grab free to use assets, put it into a game and call it a day. Pre-made assets can be made into a good game, but that's pretty rare and those that do, use others assets sparingly.
Told you.
