I've asked you what number one game you want to have on Linux, but what about games we already have? What is the number one game that you are truly thankful to have on Linux right now?

That last question was tough, but boy is this one difficult.

Honestly, for me it has to be Rocket League. It sure did take a while to actually arrive on Linux, but the wait was more than worth it.

I'm genuinely scared to load the game due to fear of not doing any actual work. It's a fantastic game to grab a few people together, kick back with a rum and coke and just play-ball.

It's a great game for our livestreams too, since it's another game that enables us to get the community involved, it has so many uses!

Ditto. Stellaris is really well crafted. It gets it's tendrils into my OCD side and before I know it I'm late for work and sleep deprived.

Minecraft - still amazing, and for a creative type person, this one is hard to beat.

BioShock Infinite

Due to unlimited amount of mods, it would be Half-Life 2. I can put literally years to play them all for free.

My all time most thankful one would be Quake III. But I've stopped paying several years ago now. My current favourite and only thing I want to play on any platform is Planetary Annihilation: TITANS (currently on sale).

You can see me playing my last league match here:

Stellaris was my favourite too, closely followed by Total War Warhammer and Stardew Valley.

For me in 2016, the game I played most is Dwarf Fortress. 2nd is Ark Survival Evolved, then Cities Skylines. What can I say, I like building things. I would like to thank all the Dev's who support Linux, but give a special shout out to the Bay 12 Brothers. You guys are simply unmatched, DF is awe inspiring, a never ending source of fun for me. Thank You and Happy Holidays!

Pick one? Too difficult, sorry. So, without gradation:

Transistor. Bioshock Infinite. X3/Rebirth. War Thunder. Borderlands 2.

Yesterday bought Satellite Reign seems to be great Syndicate successor. Also liked Shadowrun and ok - dark fantasy Victor Vran was excellent too. U know what? Like pete910 said: all :D.

The game I'm really thankful to have on Linux is: Alien: Isolation.
Since I was able to test the first version on gamescom 2014, or even since it was announced, I've been looking forward to a release. And it was so cool that Feral ported it to my favorite OS!

But of course there are other games I'm also thankful to have on Linux ;)

Why do you make me choose? :'(
boltronics 25 Dec 2016
Difficult to answer, since I already purchased a bunch of games from the Steam sale I haven't yet played... Undertale, Valley, Pony Island, Oxenfree, Life is Strange, Planetary Annihilation: Titans and Firewatch to name a few. But of the games I own for GNU/Linux which I have played, I'd probably have to vote for either XCOM or XCOM 2.
Greaser 25 Dec 2016
For me it's Arma 3. Even if the Linux support is lacking.

Dying Light and Stellaris :)
Kercus 25 Dec 2016
If I have to say just one: Borderland 2
Al3s 26 Dec 2016
I would say Rocket League, easy. Very accesible and popular multiplayer title. It's the kind of game that can seal the deal in convincing people going to Linux.
Alkaphreak 26 Dec 2016
Warhammer Dawn of war 2
diegstroyer 27 Dec 2016
The Witcher 3, will be great to play directly in Linux.
PJ 27 Dec 2016
Xcom2 hands down. Haven't been so hooked while playing a game in a long time. Also along DeusEx a title that brought my faith in Feral back (as my previous 2 purchases, DoW and Tomb rRider namely, didn't work on my hardware setup - which I can understand to some degree as it is not everyday Joe's machine, rather a dual processor machine I use for 3d work and rendering).

War Thunder - it was the one game I played regularly before I decided to switch to Linux and having a Linux version avaliable made the switch pretty painless in terms of gaming needs at that time.
And Shadowrun: Dragonfall since it "cured" me somewhat from my War Thunder addiction.

Since then I bought and played lots (way to many actually ;-)) of great games for this platform - some of which I probably would not have noticed on Windows.
