I have to admit that 1,800 is a pretty nice looking number. We have come such a long way in such a short amount of time it's really unreal at times. It's still just a number, but it's a mighty fine number that it is.
Releases did slow down quite a bit last month and that has continued a into this month, but that's not really surprising given the time of year.
We have many more to look forward to this year, some indie, some AAA. Give us some thoughts on what you're looking forward to, and what you think we are missing.
Now, where's my cake? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I'm still waiting Arma 3 to be fully released, but I am also a big fan of RTS games like Starcraft or AOE and it would be really great to have something like that native on Linux.

I'm waiting for Street Fighter 5, Witcher 3 and Batman. I would like to have a Starcraft like game as well, but till that moment Planetary Annihilation is just fine for me.
Personally I don't care about MMO games.

Quoting: Mountain ManHonestly, I couldn't be happier with the current state of Linux gaming.Impressive attitude, unfortunately I'm kind of the guy that always wants more. So there is always a way to become happier :).
But I have to admit, 3 years ago if someone would tell me that games that are available on Linux today will be playable on Linux I would not believe him. So in general I am also very pleased with the current state of Linux gaming.
For this year I am most excited about XCOM 2 because I loved XCOM: EU and this is the biggest title that will definitely be available soon.
I want to believe that Witcher 3 will be available as well, but I have already finished the game, so I will only buy it to support CD Projekt Red.
If Batman AK will be released and will have good performance this will be number 2 on my list.
Because I'm done with Geralt for now (before Blood and Wine is released) I guess for now Number 3 on my list is not yet occupied :).

Things have rolled a lot faster than I had expected from the start. I was an avid Linux dual booter for a long time up until Civilization 5 was released for Linux. That was the day I totally wiped Windows completely and haven't looked back since. Valve and the wonderful folks involved with Wine have made my life more awesome now that I don't have to dual boot.
Games I'm most looking forward to are:
Street Fighter V
Xcom2
Rollercoaster Tycoon World
Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
Stars Beyond Reach
It's a shot in the dark, but I'd like to see Blizzard port Hearthstone and maybe Overwatch to run native on Linux. Hearthstone especially since it uses mostly Qt and EGL for it's code base.
and I'm hoping to see Bethesda actually port Fallout 4 for Linux. Of course I'm not holding my breath, but it would be nice to see happen.

I'll be honest, I'm not fully happy until all the flagship franchises arrive on Linux. GTA, Fallout, anything from BioWare, that stuff.
Not necessarily on day one, but within the following year. And I don't mind there being a eON layer in between or anything like that, as long as the performance is good enough.
But I can't be a fully happy gamer without having the biggest guns in my arsenal.

I don't really play games much but Grand Theft Auto V would be a dealbreaker for me.

Quoting: adolsonWow, 1800 games! And only 1790 of them are visual novels!You forgot the choose-your-own-adventure
Counted them
- 141 visual novels
- 44 choose your own adventure books
- 36 hidden object games
- 78 round-based strategy games
- 9 real time strategy games
- 84 racing games
- 105 sports games
- 157 first person shooters
- 9 third person shooters
- 156 point & click (adventures?)
Roleplaying games are missing here, because as with "adventures" everything is an RPG nowadays.
The big categories, where everything gets lumped into, even if only parts apply:
- 1048 strategy games
- 1480 action games
- 738 RPGs
- 670 simulation games
- 1178 adventures
