Alien Isolation and Metro both work just fine with Mesa drivers. They do use GL4 (as do many other games), but they do so by using core profiles, not compatibility.

Joke aside Mesa in whole is the project, experience also depend on what DRI driver you use. Mesa itself is nothing, same like linux kernel is nothing, but specific drivers for specific hardware handle things .... it is software implementation and don't accelerate nothing, Mesa's DRI drivers handle that. Further and quite possible that different DRI drivers have different bugs.Last edited by dungeon; 22 May 2017, 04:08 AM.

again wrong; please do us all a favor and stop talking/commenting about things you clearly do NOT understand; For example Alien Isolation, Metro, etc. do run fine on my workstation with nvidia 1080 gfx, running openSUSE Leap 42.2, with the latest stable proprietary nvidia driver, however those games do not work/run on my intel i5-4200 laptop with intel HD gfx 4400 (running openSUSE Tumbleweed with Mesa 17.0.5 / OpenGL 4.5.
I'm struggling with Suse 42.2 and MESA gaming, too. There are many problems relating to MESA being compiled to ssl/gcrypt whatever libs that are different to the game and/or to steam (search for libnettle and Suse MESA, or look for Suse openssl steam bug reports).
The Nvidia blob seems to circumvent such library problems (I don't know how this works). In addition, the developers test with the Nvidia blob and specific Linux distributions (unfortunately, not Suse).

Your system information Steam client version: 1.0.0.52 Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Opensuse 42.2 Alpha Opted into Steam client beta?: No Have you checked for system updates?: No Please describe you...

That "were" the problems with steam. But, I think now there are the same problems with games.
(I don't know why which driver/software needs which crypto lib)
I still get gcrypt errors when trying to start games from the steam gui (suse 42.2, MESA, rx480). Some games can be started from their directory from the terminal...
