I don't know if it's Linux compatible but Elite Dangerous is absolutely beautiful and really sets a strong tone.

Have been playing it on linux since Horizons came out.

Don't know if it's top notch graphics, but it's pretty. Audio design is sublime.

The "ocean wide, one foot deep" thing is true. It's grindy and gets boring after a while, but it's still worth it. If you are a "chill" gamer, exploration and mining don't need grinding and shallowness doesn't affect them so much.

I loved this game before but ended up finding it kinda boring in the long run. It's definitely worth getting a flight stick to play, though. Learning to dock and do flips and such as I did was the funnest part by far. And when you jump, especially the first time, it gives you chills.

If you've got a valve index or other high quality VR headset the immersion of that is ridiculous - especially with something like voice attack to handle the fiddly keyboard shortcuts that you don't want on your stick (like engaging the landing gear or the cargo scoop).

I did actually have voice attack and recommend that as well. I never mad the jump to VR, though.
