A worthy successor to Borderlands 2 that should work fine using SteamPlay. It has a gold rating on ProtonDB, so it should work well.
Borderlands 3 is more explosive with new characters and weapons.
The best thing about the Borderlands franchise is that it does not demand the latest and most superb hardware to run. Hence, feel free to try it out.
Insurgency is yet another impressive FPS game available on Steam for Linux machines. It takes a different approach by eliminating the HUD or the ammo counter.
It should provide a real-like experience while giving a classic Delta Force-like feel to it.
Bioshock Infinite remains one of the best single-player FPS games ever developed for PC. You get unrealistic powers to kill your enemies. And so do your enemies, who have numerous tricks up in their sleeves. It is a story-rich FPS game that you should not miss playing on your Linux system!
The Hitman series is one of the most loved game series. The modern iteration of the HITMAN series saw an episodic release, but it was fun to play!
Get creative with your assassinations in the game, Agent 47!

If you are looking for a shooter game focused on stealth skills, Deux Ex is the perfect addition to your Steam library. It is a stunning game with some state-of-the-art weapons and crazy fighting mechanics.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is one of the most loved driving simulation games.
The visuals may not be cutting egde, but it is extremely an engaging experience when compared to a lot of other games.
Missing Road Rash? Well, Road Redemption will quench your thirst as a spiritual successor to Road Rash. Of course, it is not officially “Road Rash II,” – but it is equally enjoyable. If you loved Road Rash, you’d like it too.
DOOM is a hardcore action-horror game. I listed it in the “horror” category because it’s not just a simple action game. It’s an intense game with a lot of scary elements.
Of course, you will have the best weapons to tackle the demon hordes – but it will be intense. I tried this game with the “Hurt Me Plenty” difficulty level, and it was an amazing experience.
You can easily play it on Steam using Steam Play. You can either try DOOM or DOOM Eternal, both should work with Linux.
