Where are game saves stored in Ubuntu?

I just installed Ubuntu and I am getting used to it, On Windows everything was stored in Documents folder for me, so I just copied that entire folder, but now I noticed that the new game saves are not stored in Documents from Ubuntu, so I do not know where to put save game files.

I have GTA San Andreas on my system, the save file located on ~/Documents folder, because wine link Windows My Documents to $HOME/Documents's Ubuntu.

You can see list of wine desktop integration by running winecfg, then click Desktop Integration tab.

But, if you run the games installed from steam, then the configuration file/saved file etc. should be stored on .local/share/steam, just crawl through it and you're gonna find it for sure.

It seems there is no longer steam directory in ~/.local/share. I found my saves (for Life is Strange: Before the Strom) in ~/.local/share/feral-interactive (developer name).

I installed Steam through Ubuntu repository (at least "Steam isntaller"), not using wine.

For me the easiest way to find it turned out to be just typing a game name into the search box in file explorer.
