It was a massive year for Linux gaming, so here's a look at who won and a big congratulations to all who did!
Note: These are just the top charts, there were plenty more entries in each category.
I wasn't honestly sure who was going to win this, as there's some pretty hot competition there! Well done to 0 A.D. who do put in a lot of effort to make a professional project.
The lead Deus Ex: Mankind Divided had is quite amazing, but not surprising. It does look absolutely gorgeous and I am personally a big fan of it!
Another Feral Interactive ported title here and again not very surprising. I completed it during a livestream and the overall story was pretty amazing. Even if the end was a little on the odd side.
This one I am genuinely surprised by, as I honestly thought it would turn out completely differently. I was fully expecting one of the survival games to take the crown, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the results here. Massive competition in this category, so well done to all who made the top!
When it comes to free games and their updates, it's pretty hard to compete against something from Valve like Dota 2 which had a massive overhaul. I'm still scared to boot the game up and waste an entire day yelling at people, or being yelled at.
Some people may feel this is a little unfair, but Life is Strange episode one is a free game and it is very good, even if it is but a taster of what's to come in later episodes.
It looks like the most anticipated game will arrive soon!
I'm surprised here, since the game was released in a rather unstable state and still to this day has a number of issues. Not my personal choice for the winner, but the people have spoken!
I absolutely love the mellow tunes in Life is Strange and I've been guilty of sticking the soundtrack on myself for some background noise, really great stuff.
Ever the hot topic of discussion. Talk of Wine always heats up our comments sections when it's mentioned. You have to marvel at it though, as it's really quite amazing. It's the project that enabled me to stay on Linux as much as possible in my early days and kept me going. Now I run this website, so it's my own personal choice too.
Quite easily my most played released on Linux from last year. I have over 49 hours in Rocket League now, so I won't even try to debate this one. A fantastic game and seriously fun to play with friends and the wider community!
Okay, I won't argue against this one. I'm slowly making my way through The Following myself and I'm finding it to be truly fun. Lots of zombie smashing, an buggy that has a bunch of upgrade options and plenty of open-world to explore. Loving it myself!
Speaks for itself. I hope to see more surprises this year.
Not really surprising is it? The amount of games Feral Interactive have ported to Linux is quite amazing. They are already teasing their next release too, so 2017 is going to be fun.

Quoting: Guestthis is a popularity contest and a shit form of analysis. I've played most of the games in the audio category, and none of them have SHIT on Devil Daggers for audio. you're comparing the second greatest game ever made to cinematic garbage.But did you submit Devil Daggers into this contest?
Yes it is a contest, and any top will always be a popularity contest. And I feel guilty about not submitting mine. So yes, I do not agree with the list, but I did not even try to vote or even submit fortresscraft evolved.

I think I submitted FortressCraft Evolved? Not for Best Audio though - I think it was the "Best Update" category. You can only vote on what was submitted, so if you (or someone else) didn't stick Devil Daggers in the right category, it couldn't get votes. I think? Pretty sure that's how it worked.
I think Liam ran two or three articles asking for submissions.

I don't know when I can sleep when V17 comes out with yet another nice base optimisation equipment....
