Games Worth Playing On PC

Well, my favourite games of the past few years are FTL: Faster Than Light and Volgarr the Viking. Not the flashiest of games, but mechanically near-perfect. Really challenging too.

A bit less tough, but also great would be Limbo or Bastion.

I don't play many AAA games (just not my bag), will leave those recommendations to someone else.
 
Buy Alien Isolation, wait until night time, turn off the lights whilst cranking up the volume then boot it up in 4k and enjoy the best SP game in decades.

For your MP needs, install Planetside 2 join Vanu and go spread laser death with 100's of other players all for free.
 
Hammerwatch is a good little indie title worth checking out, as is Runers. I'm not a great one for most indie titles, but I did enjoy these quite a lot.

Wolfenstein : The New Order.

Hard Reset.

Tried Legend of Grimrock 1 or 2?

Well, it looks like you don't mind the odd first person perspective game (like Tomb Raider), so I'd check out the few I've mentioned. :)


Here's a few more to add to the mix :

Morrowind;

F.E.A.R. (an old title but still a great one, imo);

Skyrim;

Doom 3;

Shadow Warrior (2013);

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series (really come into their own when modded - like with Doom 3, Morrowind and Skyrim);

Metro 2033 + Last Light;


...I could ramble on, but that's probably enough for you to take a look at for now. :)

Yea, there's a few.

Good game -> on PC? -> worth playing.

How it usually works.

Couple little suggestions:

Cities Skylines
Shadowrun: Dragonfall
Total War Shogun 2
Dark Souls II

I could really name at least 200 hundred games, but figured I'd pick a few off the top of my head.

Well, here's a list of good free games if that's a decent starter.

1) FPS - planetside 2, hands down.
2) Path of Exile - basically diablo 3 in a diablo 2 skin but better+deeper
3) Star conflict - sort of free arcadey sci-fi spaceship type effort

Do a google for "free PC games" there's plenty around, you'll get to try some good free titles that'll set your bar going forward :)

For paid stuff:
Fallout games - about best in class FPS/RPG
X-com games - about best in class tactical/strategy
Terraria/minecraft for cheesy sandbox buildy type stuff (terraria is a bit more RPG, minecraft a bit more world building).
Homeworld makes for a good "novel" take on RTS
Starcraft 2 series for a more traditional RTS
Bioshock for another story driven FPS
Elder scrolls series (get lots of updates and mods for it and skyrim still looks awesome, morrowind in the skyrim engine if/when they get it finished will be amazing).

Can't comment on good driving games if that's your thing.
 
I'm afraid my list here is very far removed from anything else you're likely to read in any of the other posts.

I'm surprised myself that, although not being an indie game fanatic, my favourite games for each of the last several years have been:

- Heroes of a Broken Land
- Invisible Inc
- Darkest Dungeon

Oh, and I never played these as pre-release but only as the full, completed versions. One great thing about each of these is that you can either play them in short bursts or really sink your teeth into them for hours.

Strange, how each one of these trumps any AAA title, as far as I'm concerned.

That being said, all the previous posts contain great recommendations.
 
I played Skyrim for the second time last year.

Just got Project Cars which is a fantastic racing game.

Shadow of Mordor was a real genius innovative game which i recommend anyone playing over and over lol.

Most recently The Witcher 3 which i have just completed the main missions including DLC but it allows you to do it all again with a bit of a difference so looking forward to doing that.
 
X-COM 2 (Pick up the first one cheap, to see if you like the gameplay, even)
The Division (due out 8th of March - Open beta tomorrow)
CIV 5 (Old faithful)
