Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm. 32 v 32 multiplayer with maps based on actual battles that took place in the Pacific and Eastern Fronts during WW2. Realistic compared to the other multiplayer shooters out there, very rewarding when you work as a team with voice comms, very frustrating when you're on a team of idiots though. No killstreak rewards, perks, silly/unrealistic unlocks. It's a shame it isn't more popular.

Europa Universalis 4 - has to be one of the best grand strategy games around at the moment.
Civ 5 - 59 hours.
EU4 - 1196 hours!

Insurgency comes to mind for games im playing at the moment.
In a world full of fps games all about action, leveling and killstreaks, this one shines as going back to the basics and relying on a more realistic approach!
Really worth a look, think its from the minds behind cs? May be wrong

Alien Isolation.
Pretty much a perfect game to me as I love the Alien movies (1,2 and 3 only)
The way the game captures the scifi horror of the movies is simply genius.
I didn't care that I died so many times and had to replay from the last save, this made me play the game slightly different each time making the game so tense and the encounters with the Alien different, sometimes harder, sometimes easier.
It's one of the few games that I became engrossed in and literally felt the feeling of terror and suspense when playing.

Terraria would get my praise sucked so much game play out of me on the multiple times I have played it. Oh and Dark Souls get's a mention too although first time i played it i gave up and never touched it for a few months.
XCOM Enemy Unknown / Enemy within was a pretty great game. Loads of re-playability imo. Shame 2 was delayed.
Aside from that other games already mentioned Witcher 3, Fallout etc. Still my most Wow moment in gaming was probably stepping out of that vault in FO3 for the first time.

To name only a few.
Carmageddon - The first pc game I ever bought and it was tones of fun and still is.
Unreal - my first fps on the pc, an epic single player with beautiful level design. Even now at 1080p this game is pleasing to the eye. (Flac cannon ftw)
Doom - the first fps game I played, this version was on the ps1. They never had the metal soundtrack on the ps1 version, it had a dark atmospheric soundtrack which made the game scarey especially with me being about 7/8 years old. **** me pants.
Wipeout 2097 - love this game, still stands the test of time now. And the awesome soundtrack shaped my musical tastes.

+1
Loved that game. One of the greats in level design.
Again, you took the words out of my mouth.
Always has been my favourite version. Btw, if you haven't already, try out the Doom64 mod for PC. 
Running a 290X and reducing shadow distance made a massive difference for me, still drops in a few places but not many and not by much.
Sorry for going off topic, just thought that may help. If I need to praise a game I'm happy to heap praise on Witcher 3, just the best thing I've played in years.
Ignoring GTA5, the last PC game I completed that feels worthy of praise is probably Binary Domain. I wrote a mini-review here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=24529341&postcount=14
Especially worthy of praise I think because it seems quite underrated - I mean, I could praise GTA5, but that wouldn't really tell you guys anything you didn't know already.
