This Linux tutorial is meant to offer tips on how to install & run PC Games in Linux Mint. I cannot guarantee these steps will work in other distributions. If your game has no native Linux installation binaries, Wine is your next best bet for the game to work. I obviously cannot guarantee the game to work in Wine either.

I also recommend learning the basics of Terminal commands. I know its silly to learn commands for gaming when Windows doesn't require any command line knowledge, but since Linux is totally free and most of the basic apps are also free, its worth a little bit of your time so you can successfully install/run/diagnose your game.

Here are some commands that may help you with PC games on Linux:

Note: when a successful command is run you won't get any evidence that it ran properly in the Terminal. So if you don't get an error, it successfully did exactly what you told it to do.

Important Note:
Any time you type a command, you will need to press ENTER...
