It's question time today here on GOL, so sit down and come have a chat. Today I ask a very simple question: what game would literally blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

I've asked myself this very same question and while it looks like a simple question, the truth is that it's actually quite difficult to narrow it down.

There's a fair amount of great games we don't have and that's probably a heavy understatement. There's a good 10-20 games I badly want on Linux and narrowing them down was a bit of a task.

I think my all time wish right now would be: Fallout New Vegas.

A game I actually own, as it's one of the left-overs from back when I was dual-booting. I can't bring myself to load up Windows to play it. My Windows hard drive doesn't even fit in my PC case, so it becomes a nuisance to actually load Windows any way now.

Why Fallout New Vegas? I've been a Fallout fan since a young age and I think I've actually played all of them now. I love the world, the style of it and the gameplay is engrossing as hell. It was my favourite of the series by far.

Bayonetta 1 and 2

That would be out of left field, but awesome as all hell.

-Halo series (very unrealistic)

14 pages in and only 4 people have mentioned Half Life 3. Having that released as a linux exclusive for a week or two would be about the only thing that would blow my mind.

I think the Witcher 3 would be the most important port of an existing title.

I personally am sad that there are no ports for Path of Exile and Guild Wars 2.

Witcher 3
Dawn of War III
Subnautica

Full VR support :)

Both the new Doom and Thief as well as Dishonored 2 (or even the first one). I might be able to play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided right now, but that does not mean I could not spend the same amount of time in Dishonored2!

Pokemon, Zelda and Mario.

Semi-realistic, Final Fantasy, and kingdom hearts.

1) Skyrim > DRM-Free, on GOG, with a Vulkan renderer.
2) Witcher 3
3) Guild Wars 2 - Been playing since GW1 (2005) and now that they're developing a native Mac client, they might as well do a Linux one, game would run better anyway since Linux is not limited to crappy laptops and overpriced desktops.
