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!

Aragami or Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. Both brilliant games this year. Though I lean a little more Aragami. I quiet enjoyed replaying a lot of the levels for the different challenge medals & co-op fun. Once you got all the skills it made going back for the kill everyone medals a lot of fun. Pulling your enemies down into their deaths by your shadow/darkness/add word here reminded me a lot of the game, "The Darkness". (Speaking of which, if we could get those games ported over to Linux as well).

Now that's a tough one!
I would tend to say Euro Truck Simulator 2, as this is the game that helped me ditching dual-booting for good, but in terms of actual fun and hours played, it has to be Payday 2.
So, Payday 2 for me!

Quoting: lijuFor me it would be Rocket League as well. Playing so much it with my 9 year old son!
Personally had a great time with Shadow of Mordor, Life is Strange and now Deus Ex.
Need to agree - GOL and this community helps to keep focused on Linux gaming a lot. Steam and Valce helped so much. I would not believe 3.5 year ago if someone told me after that time we will have 3K games with ports like I mentioned. Now just wish within next 3,5 years it will be really strange if any PC publisher do not target Linux as a day one release for every game!
Let's take it step by step. As much as I agree with you, I would be very happy if we are at least considered equally to MacOS users. A lot of games still never land on MacOS and they get a lot of delayed ports as well, but if only big publishers like Rockstar or Activision could think about Linux like they consider MacOS, it would already be awesome!
I don't like Activions games, but they appeal to a broader audience, and we need those kind of games now.

I'm gonna cheat as I have 3. For me I'd say Europa Universalis IV, Shadow Of Mordor, and Total War: Warhammer.
Edit: If I must choose only one, I'd say EU IV comes away with the win. :)

Ahem. In all seriousness, probably Rocket League for me too. Getting it going in Wine was hit and miss, and dual booting to play as frequently as I was was a pain.

CSGO. I'm a simple person.
Also, planetary annihilation Titans.

I'll try to see why you recommend rocket league over winter sale

My number 1:
Dying Light: The Following Enhanced Edition
It surprised me that this game impressed me so much. Visually stunning. The sheer terror of night missions and being chased by Volatiles. The progression and upgrade system. Trying to pick a lock when you know there is a group of zombies shuffling up behind you. The combat mechanics. The main missions and all the many varied side quests. The crafting of weapons. Fell in love with the parkour mechanics, jumping from roof to roof. Triple A title, nearly perfect.
Honourable mentions:
Serious Sam 3 BFE
- I've always loved Doom-style/Quake-style run around, dodge, and shoot games. SS3 is a fantastic example of this genre. Completed it on 'Serious' setting. The game-play in this FPS game is *just* the way I like it.
FTL (Faster Than Light)
- I just keep returning to this for additional roguelike space adventures. It has lots of replayability, thanks to the various ships you unlock by completing objectives. Each ship and ship/crew configuration makes the game play differently. More of a casual style game, i.e. you don't have to bash the keyboard like mad, but things can get intense during a hard scrap. Lots of strategy.
Legend of Grimrock
In my heart, my true gaming love is for RPG games. So annoying that Bethesda aren't releasing Linux ports of theirs (yet). This game was a fantastic RPG treat for me. Indie title, very polished, very fun to play.
