    Wait what? Those are totally randomly picked games, that do not meet the criteria of being Hero Shooter.

    I didn’t make that list, that is the top Steam games that have the ‘Hero Shooter’ tag.

    What I understand under this term is Team Fortress 2, Overwatch and Marvel Rivals. Deadlock is an hybrid and that is okay too.

    Every one of those work on Linux, I’m literally in comp queue in Rivals right now.

    The vast majority of games work on Linux, even the games that ‘don’t work’ will run just fine if the developers decide to stop actively blocking Linux client. Apex Legends is a prime example, it had a Platinum rating on ProtonDB (the highest rating) right up until they decided to blacklist Linux clients so you couldn’t connect to games.

      The tags explains it a lot. I do not agree with the users or developers giving this tag to those “random” games. Most of these are not Hero Shooters in my book.

      Me too. I type while waiting for matches. These games were just mentioned as an example what I understand as Hero Shooter. And we don’t have many to choose from. I didn’t say they don’t work, i played each of them for hundreds and thousands of hours.

        Hero Shooter is starting to become like ‘rogue-like’ where it doesn’t mean much.

        Deeprock Galactic also works great, if you’re into PvE shooters

          I noticed, that’s why I gave some examples to what “I” understand under that term. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll open a tab and look at Deeprock Galactic. I know the name of the game, but never looked how it functions.
