Linux Game Of The Year Awards Voting Open

By -
tagline-image
Time is now up to add games, so you may now vote for whatever game you loved the most last year. Next year will work in a very different way too.

For this year it is whatever game you loved the most, regardless of when it was released. See the explanation on the GOTY page for details.

Next year will have multiple categories like genre, best update and so forth. That way we can cover games only released in 2015, as well as previously released game with great updates.

Percentages are rounded up to the closest, so 16.6 is 17. Just to make that clear. Just to keep things nice and round.

Go get voting, and spread the word.

Personally, I am completely torn on what to vote for.

The winner will be announced on the 14th of January 2015.

UPDATE
Just a note, all open source games now have their own category.

Votes wiped on them to be fair.

You get one vote per category.

OpenRA is still in the normal category since it's not fully open (uses closed graphics, sounds etc). Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: Segata Sanshiro

Both "Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall" and "Dragonfall" are on the list, seems like a bug :)

My top pick was one that really surprised me by being way better than I had thought beforehand. It has an interesting story that handled very intelligently and has great puzzles that rivals, or maybe even tops those of Portal.

1. The Talos Principle
2. Full Bore
3. You Have to Win the Game
4. Super Win the Game
5. MouseCraft
6. Hexcells Infinite
7. Hack 'n' Slash
8. The Last Tinker: City of Colors
9. Elliot Quest
10. TRI: Of Friendship and Madness

I decided to not include unfinished games, so no Kentucky Route Zero, Broken Age or The Journey Down, Chapter 2, even though I really liked all of those and would have found room for them in my top 10 list.

More votes for x-com needed ;)

I think you need a 'finals' showdown - take the top 10 games after a time period (30 days?) then do another vote on the top 10 games ... otherwise the votes get way too diluted - with so many games! xD

I agree with this, the vote is too split now. Maybe 30 days is too much though.

Choosing between The Talos Principle, Borderlands 2, and Civ 5 was super tough for me, but in the end The Talos Principle won my vote.

I nominated Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall, but I don't know if Dragonfall was on the list at the time, I didn't check for it.

Quoting: liamdaweNo one nominated it, people had a fair bit of time to do it.
That was a thing? Damn it! Been scanning the list now for the games I remember best, and they just aren't there. The Novelist, Gone Home, Broken Age...
