We choose the best PC games from the past ten years, which we will very much like to play today.
When we recall the last ten years, that is, from 2006 to 2016, we will see that PC is probably the most diverse gaming platform in general. The PC offers most games, as well as the most different types of games that you will not find anywhere else. Selecting the very best 25 games in such a long time was not an easy task, but that's why we have our experts who helped us with the selection.
Before we get to work, let's say, what were the criteria for choosing games. The primary question is "What are the best PC games kicked out from 2006 to 2016?" Our definition of the "best" games includes the best titles of today, as well as games that were fantastic in their time, even if their time has "passed." So, let's repeat, this is a list of games from the last ten years, so if you're wondering why there are no games like Half-Life 2, System Shock 2, Quake III: Arena, StarCraft, TIE Fighter, or X-COM: UFO Defense , it's just and exclusively because these games came out before 2006.
Ready? Let's move!
At a time when Relic released the first trailer for Company of Heroes, many wondered whether it was a joke, or is it really RTS. The main reason for this is, for the time being, an incredible graphic design that was a science fiction for this genre; or until then. Company of Heroes was a very innovative title, with a major emphasis on tactical combat, and less on the classic collection of resources and building a base, which is characteristic of titles such as Command & Conquer or StarCraft.
Relic's title in general is the culmination of the real-time strategy genre of the past ten years.
GAMEPLAY PICTURES:
Gaming industry for quite a long time failed to find the right recipe for a good game of superheroes, until Rocksteady showed up with Batman: Arkham Asylum achieved a truly enviable success. But it was not just about success, but about setting some new standards of gameplay mechanics in games, which were copied by other successful titles like Shadow of Mordor. Arkham City raised the whole thing to a whole new level, offering the player a whole Gotham and open-world gameplay, an excellent action, a fantastic graphic design on the PC version, but most importantly, the game kept that great, recognizable gameplay.
Kerbal Space Program is not just a day-to-day space simulation. In fact, when it comes to this, it's not even a daily game. It's the title of a complete space program for the little Kerbala on your soul, which means that you are the one who Kerbala must create a capable capable spacecraft to send them into space. The game is terribly addictive, fun and innovative, and it also presents this variety of genres on the PC platform.
If you remember the moment when the first trailer for StarCraft 2 and the "Hell, it's about time" appeared, surely your hips passed, and who knows, maybe you opened a champagne. StarCraft 2 generally did not detect hot water, but the gameplay was based on a proven and successful model of the first StarCraft, and further modernized it. A classic story for almost all Blizzard titles; they are easy to play, but it is difficult to be top-notch in them, but thanks to good matchmaking in multiplayer, all players will find themselves a fair opponent, whether they are professional gamers or "recreators" who like to play slowly in the game.
World of Warcraft has not by chance become such a crazy popular MMORPG for which players are still, although in less than ten years ago, they pay a monthly subscription. Behind the success of the game stands the desire, will and dedication of Blizzard who turned his MMO into a global phenomenon. Although the population on Blizzard's servers has decreased, WoW is far from being "dead."
Minecraft is not only the best dice game but also one of the best games that creates creativity in people. In the game you can almost literally "lose". You can make a house, dig deep in search of treasure, fight with monsters, and if you are creative enough (and if you have enough free time), you can create truly incredible creations, such as the USS Enterprise.
Whether you are looking for a game that you plan to rest - do not play Left 4 Dead 2 because it's an incredibly tense, action-packed, and generally extraordinary online co-op playing experience. In addition, Left 4 Dead 2 was at one point completely free .
In a few games you can experience how it's to be a captain of a spaceship as you can in Faster Than Light. The FTL, however, is not a story about a spectacular hero who will save the crew, a sexy sergeant, and the entire human race. FTL is not even a story of survival because in this game you can not really survive, which at the same time is incredibly frustrating and incredibly fun. It's up to you to spend - as long as you can, until you go air with your space ship. Best of all (or worst), you will never know which part of the boat will first cancel.
As we wrote in our review, it is difficult to explain how much we like Undertale, but it is precisely what we adore about this game. She simply tells her story in a way that is so dynamic and with such a good understanding of the mentality of RPG players that it could not be told in any other way. It is a masterfully designed and developed experience that we will not almost forget so soon.
If there is a game for you to forget that the sky is blue, the grass is green, and that there is someone there, then it's because of - just another tour. Civilization 5 is infectious precisely because of the perfect combination of depth of 4X strategy and simplicity that virtually anyone can start the game, but it will be very difficult to finish. There is also an excellent Brave New World expansion that represents, at least, the spiritual continuation of the excellent Alpha Centauri.
The world, crafting, atmosphere and story of Fallout 4 are all key parts of this highly successful RPG. Excellent reasons for obsessively gathering memories for happier times, greatly designed comrades and sympathetic villains who make difficult decisions make this game an adventure to which I will definitely return and replay. Even the technical imperfections that appear from time to time can not even try to obscure the splendor of Fallout 4.
All of that, conditionally speaking bad and debatable from Fallout 3, Obsidian has improved in New Vegas, primarily because of the fact that in their team have people who previously worked on Fallout 1 and 2. New Vegas has made many improvements in the form of a great story, enhanced mechanics and many other "tweaks" that may not be so visible to the "bare eye", but experienced players will feel great about them when playing. Additionally, let's add a fantastic community on a PC version that has added to the game's experience with free modifications.
Metal Gear Solid 5 is the latest masterpiece of the legendary gaming industry of Hidea Kojima, made by Konami. There are not many open-world games that pay attention to detail as MGS 5. Do you kill a guard in his guardhouse, it's logical that they will not be able to call reinforcements. "Save" soldiers in a nearby container, this does not mean that colleagues will not find it and raise an alert. Still telling us what exactly she is doing in a new studio ...
While Faster Than Light is frustrating and fun, Spelunky is so frustrating and fun, but at a whole new level, thanks to the technology of procedurally generated levels that will make you hair, bite your nails and make the keyboard fun, because you will have no idea what the next one is waiting for . But it is precisely this genius and beauty of this phenomenal platformer.
he PC version of The Grand Theft Auto 5 outperforms the one on gaming consoles, quite possibly, primarily because Rockstar tried to create port-worthy platforms this time. Add to that very good optimization, as well as many SweetFX and ENB graphic modifications, vehicle modifications and other diversity provided by the community, you can play GTA 5 on the PC for a long, long time.
Wild Hunt is brutal, cruel, dangerous, and perhaps most importantly without unnecessary censorship. Witcher, along with Fallout, may be the harshest RPG title to play, where you will often have to bring in many (non) moral doubts that will affect the course of the action at a certain point in the game, and you will be puzzled over why you have not chosen a second response before. But that's exactly the beauty of these games that will give you some say that they think about your character.
Do you have some free time available, take care or annual and play this masterpiece of the Polish developer. Although the main quest may not be as "incredible" as the rest of the game, the game offers so many additional content and sidequests that will constantly give you a smile on your face.
The League of Legends is one of the most popular and most profitable games of the present, which is especially interesting in that it is a free title. Riot Games has achieved remarkable success with its relatively young title, and the League of Legends is one of the main reasons why the MOBA genre has simply exploded over the past few years. In addition, eSport has a lot to thank Riot's game.
Skyrim is a huge and massive RPG title that has shifted many boundaries into the design of such games in the genre, and showed everyone that singleplayer games are quite good and live, and that the gamers still want it. And the birds on the branch know what the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is, but if you're going to play Bethesdin RPG for the first time, be sure to throw an eye on the absolutely incredible modding community that Skyrim raises to a whole new level.
With the focus on diversity and replay, this sequel has the answer to most of the things that have bothered us in XCOM: Enemy Unknown. The game is brilliantly created, if we exclude some mostly cosmetic bugs. Thanks to innovations in tactical fighting with the addition of randomly created maps and missions for them, XCOM 2 is an incredible game that will keep you hours and hours behind the screen.
The Witness is an extremely powerful game that has been holding us for more than 40 hours without any indication of release, as we needed to finish it for the first time. Even now and now all those secrets and riddles that we have not been able to detect and solve dig up and make us take controller again into our hands. An elegant combination of tangible targets, mystery and freedom create the perfect backdrop for many small victories, successes and "ahaaa" moments. The Witness is thematically largely unmistakable, and even when occasionally leaves subtlety on the side in favor of a more linear storytelling, it never becomes less fun, beautiful, addictive, relaxing and generally impressive.
There is a good reason why Counter-Strike is still one of the most popular titles on the market. Valve's multiplayer shooter probably like no other game on any other platform puts tactical and team battles on emphasis, and Global Offensive has only enhanced this formula, which makes the game still challenging for experienced players, but it does not set the walls against new players. There is also a fantastic Steam Workshop from which you can quickly install new training folders, as well as various other contents in a quick and easy way.
The MOBA genre has gained popularity due to a "compact" and fast gameplay that it's easy to get into, but it's pretty difficult to master it. Try Dot 2 and you'll understand why we say it. Although in Dota 2 everything is happening on the same map, you have at your disposal more than 100 characters and thousands of combinations of themes, which will make each match different and unique, and since every second is important, the matches will always be exciting, even if they are They make conflicts.
The portal is Valve's hilarious hilarious and hilarious good experiment in the genre of "first-person puzzle games" that could serve as a testimony to how to make a good game with five hours of gameplay. The fantastic concept of the portal, hilarious puzzles and GlaDOS as one of the best villains ever, Portal make up one of the best PC games in the last decade.
If Half-Life set the basis for the course and testimony of the action in modern shoots from the first person, BioShock was definitely an evolution, and this is spectacular. There is still discussion about the turning point of the main shop, but Ken Levine's masterpiece has also set some new standards in FPS design, so in a maestral way combines stealth, survival and RPG genres. Rapture, which in a fantastic way tells the story of the unsuccessful idea of utopia, is equally fascinating and frightening, and BioShock top-notch served to become probably one of the best titles in the history of gaming.
When it comes to Valve, we believe that it takes them for new games for as long as each game devotes a huge amount of energy and creativity, which ultimately pays off, because every Valve game can be played with almost the same thrill and excitement today as when you are They played it 10 years ago. This was the case with Half-Life 1, Half-Life 2, and the same thing with Portal 2. Everything that was good in its predecessor, Portal 2 raised to a new level, introduced a co-op gameplay that is complete redefined how we play a puzzle headline from the first person, and that's why every time we start the game, it works differently and freshly.
