For the best performance, use Proton. The game sees frame drops across the board otherwise, but is still playable.

AudioSurf
Good for a little nostalgia trip, if you're willing to put up with the fullscreen bug.
Windowing:Other
The game starts in borderless fullscreen, but underneath the Xfce taskbar. This issue occurs every time fullscreen is turned on. Alt+Tab is required to fix this whenever it happens.
Significant Bugs:
If you click Play too many times on the main menu, the game crashes as it tries to display the gamemodes. Also, the quick folder selection is not optimised for Linux, requiring you to use the Java-like file selector, which then naturally leads to a repeat of the fullscreen bug.
► Multiplayer
Overall (online):Excellent
Your multiplayer experience will be limited by the audio files you choose to play with, and whether they have been played on before by others.

Audiosurf 2
I'll always have a soft spot for the original Audiosurf, but this is decent enough with its new gamemodes.
Performance:Slight Performance Problems
FPS drops significantly when reaching the end of all tracks, as the light that emits from the end goal is graphics-intensive.
Significant Bugs:
The only supported file system folder is /home/<username>/Music/, so a symbolic link is required in this folder to point to other music repositories if you wish to play with them.

My touchscreen monitor (Dell 24 Touch USB-C Hub Monitor - P2424HT) doesn't properly work. If touch input is enabled, the cursor freaks out whenever it is depressed. If disabled, units do not move to the location that is pressed, rather some other random tile.
Significant Bugs:
2K accounts are not supported, not that they were worth keeping around anyway. However, if this game is run in DirectX 11, it thinks you are logged into an account that is not old enough to be able to play online. At least in DirectX 12 the game thinks you aren't logged in.

Time Warpers
An old gem of a game that thankfully still works and can still see the light of day.
Windowing:Other
Returning to the game when it is fullscreen via Alt+Tabbing causes it to appear in a tiny box in the top-left corner of the screen. By spamming random buttons and clicking around the place, the screen fixes itself.

Toki Tori
Surprisingly unstable for what it is. Either you choose between a messed up cursor when native, or crusty audio with Proton <5.
Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: Proton 4.11-13
Audio:Crackling
Some sound effects produce crackling when you hear them for the first time.
Any Proton version 5 or higher will cause the game to become stuck when launching.

Behaves exactly as it does on Windows. If you experience any issues, try Alt+Tabbing, disconnecting, or restarting the game.

TrackMania Nations Forever
Works very good, although getting my old save data in was a bit of a hassle, though I figured it out eventually.
Save Games:Other
Steam Cloud is not supported. You must manually move the files from Windows' C:/Users/username/Documents/Trackmania/ folders Profiles and Scores to Linux's steam/steamapps/compatdata/11020/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/TrackMania/. Do not attempt to rename the files, as they will not be recognised by TrackMania. You will now be able to enter into your old profile.

Trauma
I have awoken from my coma to relive this repressed memory. It's alright I guess.
Significant Bugs:Yes
Being a Flash game, right-clicking will display a right-click menu, and pressing Escape will shrink the game to windowed. If you try to resume normal gameplay after right-clicking, you may experience an odd bug where the left mouse button seems to be held down, with only messing around with Alt+Tab and Escape seeming to fix it.

Still works after all these years, if you'd rather play the original over the sequel. Growing up is tough.

I noticed a tiny bit of crackling that occurred at one point, but never heard any after that.

Waveform
Started up windowed, causing some of the program to be pushed off the screen, but I was able to switch to fullscreen and fix that.
Windowing:Other
Windowed/fullscreen setting is not applied until the game is restarted, likely intended behaviour.
Input:Other
The game is only able to detect relative mouse input. That means that any input device that sets the cursor position, such as a touchscreen, will only be able to move the cursor proportionally. Additionally, touchscreens cause problems with the menus, as they click buttons that the cursor is already on top of.

Works good in fullscreen. If the window is misplaced, right-click the game on the taskbar and select the Move option to get it into focus.

Runs great at maximum settings, not that you'll likely be playing at them, as the game's visuals can sometimes be a little distracting.

Windowkill
I play this game with it taking up the full screen and keeping its own windows within the game. Having only tested that, it works great.
