Top 5 Linux Games of 2015
5092015 has come to an end, and what better way to say good bye than to list out some of the top Linux games of the year.
This video was fully recorded, edited, composited and produced on Ubuntu 15.10 64bit. All gameplay footage is obtained through running the games natively on Ubuntu.
If you're wondering how these titles were chosen, here is the list of criteria:
1. A brand new game released in 2015
2. Supports and runs on Linux and SteamOS
3. Big hitters (either in terms of sales/brand/gamer ownership)
4. Fully released, not in Early-Access
The list was diversified as much as possible to ensure that
different genres were captured, so that you may explore
titles/experiences you may not have before.
This list is not exhaustive. Instead, it highlights the titles that support Linux and made gamers around the world rejoice upon their release with gameplay that captivated the world whilst pushing the boundaries of graphics capabilties, gameplay and high level production. These are also titles that were released in 2015, and not older.

GRID Autosport
