The older Tomb Raider game with RadeonSI does run on Raven Ridge.

The open-source Xonotic game easily runs on the Vega 8 APU.

X-Plane 11 is likely a bit too much for a current-generation APU.

For Metro Last Light Redux, the 2400G is much faster than the other hardware tested, but you would want to enjoy the game at a sub-1080p resolution.

Lastly with Serious Sam 3: BFE on OpenGL, at low quality settings at 1080p it offered a decent gaming experience with the Ryzen 5 2400G.

That's how the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Raven Ridge APU is currently performing on Linux and was stable throughout all of the tests -- finally. Too bad the same can't be said yet for the other Ryzen 3 2200G box. But as the Raven Ridge Linux support continues maturing, of course, I'll be back with more benchmarks.
