The only game I have ever played is FIFA on a PS4. Now I have a gaming laptop but have no idea how I should go about playing games on Linux. Appreciate your help in advance!

Doesn't seem to be on the list yet:

Terraria.

I have hundreds of hours on my steam account, and I'm pretty sure it's actually thousands. It's a great game, and it's been updated so much since it released. When you could buy and hold gift copies of steam, I used to regularly buy new copies to hang on to to hand out to people; I've probably gotten ten people into it. Currently doing a modded master playthrough with my family and having a great time.

    Terraria is an absolutely wonderful game, I'm in the thousands of hours as well. It's probably worth a warning for a first time gamer that it can be hard to progress without a bit of guidance. If you want to stumble in the dark for a while, that's awesome, just go for it. If you want a little more guidance, check out the official wiki (https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Terraria_Wiki) and especially its getting started guide.

    Yeah, the wiki is a big help, as is being aware that any item that has 'Material' in the list of traits when you mouse over it, can be brought to the guide, when you talk to him one of the options is 'crafting', and the empty blue box in that menu can have said items dropped into it for a list of all recipes using it, along with what workstation it takes.

    Calamity.

    It's like a second game.

    I can't believe people don't add it to the recommendation every time.

    Finish Terraria, get Calamity, go nuts.
