PC gaming has come a long way, evolving by leaps and bounds over the decades. New titles came about that changed the way we thought about the medium. More powerful hardware redefined visuals and presentation, even rivaling Hollywood. However, beloved genres endured, with computer role-playing games and strategy titles continuing to be made (and seeing great success).
Nailing down any one aspect of PC gaming is challenging, but it’s that diversity that really makes it shine. Let’s check out the 30 best PC games that have stood out through the decades.
Sons of the Forest
The first rule of playing Sons of the Forest is to experience the original if only to appreciate its story-telling and how things work. Then dive into the sequel and really start to grasp all the different tools that Endnight Games has offered, from solar-powered golf karts and hang-gliders (with launch pads) to an extensive range of firearms, new melee weapons, and mechanics, like AI helpers and a revamped building system. Though its narrative won’t quite hook you, the sheer amount of stuff to do on the island – inhumane and otherwise – provides hours of fun.
