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.

I have two. Doom 2016 and The Witcher 3. I would be a happy, happy man if those two titles were to be ported.

My list:
Any Rockstar Games game, let start with great game that not everyone considers to be great:
1) Max Payne 3
Of course that would lead in time to GTA series with must have games: GTA V and GTA IV.
2) Any Bethesda game. Let start with:
Skyrim
Of course that would lead in time to Fallout series and Doom :).
3) Witcher 3 GOTY
There is only one reason I did not put Witcher 3 on the top - because I have finished it on PS4 (including both story DLC)
If someone did not play Witcher 3 then such a person of course will have this game on top of the list - it is currently the best game on the market in my opinion.

Well it looks like everyone asking for a rally game on Linux most asking for Dirt Rally might actually have their minds blown soon as the one item still left on Ferals Radar (Spacious Skies with a drum for a picture) might actually point to Dirt Rally as being the game teased here according to a lot of online sources.

I would be glad to play Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 on Linux. And also, if Arma 3 could be on updated version as is in Windows so I can play multiplayer on Linux.

I know it won't happen, but for me its The Last of Us 2. I will be buying a PS4 just to play that game.

No more magical stuff on Linux :><: . All we need is blaster/cannon firepower, (to blow up all these sorcerers, princesses, warriors, dragons etc.) so:
1. Elite: Dangerous / Star Citizen or both
2. Star Wars: The Old Republic
3. World Of Tanks would be nice addition
And, Comandante Ñoñardo is absolutely right. We need "Death Stranding".
;)

Well, looks like DOOM works in WINE now. Better than nothing I guess? I'll take what I can get, lol.

I have too weak CPU for this one, I guess. Maybe with ZEN CPU... Whatever, I hope we'll get X4 game shortly after release.

Oh God yes!! Love the X series! Rebirth was disappointing though, I hope they got their stuff together for X4. I am getting a Zen (Ryzen?) Cpu in April myself. :)

After few patches X Rebirth is quite good (after 4.0 U can craft SETA and jumpdrive for example). For me only one flyable ship is seriously disappointing, rest is ok, of course not as good as X3 (ehh... abandoned Mamba Raider surrounded by proximity mines and three days trying to take over :D).

Well currently I run Grim Dawn via WINE but have issues so that'd be nice. Also a friend gifted me Titanfall 2 which caused me to boot into the dreaded Windows for the first time in about a year to play a game. I'd play it way more if it were on linux. It's not the greatest game though. Booting into windows made me fire up Trove and Ryse: Son of Rome again so that'd be nice to have on linux. Overall I'm pretty happy having all the great games I got on linux this year.
