What are the best PC games? From triple-A household names like GTA 5 to enchanting indie releases such as Rocket League, these classics are the biggest games across Steam, Epic Games Store, and more. Finding the top PC games is no easy task. There are, you may have noticed, quite a lot of them. From the 50,000-plus Steam games to… all those other platforms you love so much, there has never been more choice available to the discerning PC gamer. From the best RPG games to the most mind-blowing FPS games, here are the best PC games of all time, according to us. There are even some free PC games thrown in there, too.

Here are the best PC games, in our opinion: 

Metaphor ReFantazio

It’s always a difficult task to follow up on what some people consider to be one of the greatest games of all time, in this case, Persona 5, and yet Atlus continues to blow people’s socks clean off every time. Metaphor ReFantazio is the latest from Atlus, developed by its Studio Zero division which has been comprised of ex Persona talent. The game is set in a fantasy world where the United Kingdom of Euchronia is on the brink of conflict, it’s your job to usher in peace by lifting the curse from the kingdom’s lost prince.

As our very own Aaron Down put so eloquently in his Metaphor ReFantazio review, “Sporting a fantastic cast of instantly lovable characters, a gripping tale that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, and a robust evolution of its combat systems, Metaphor ReFantazio is a must-play for anyone with even a passing interest in JRPGs.” If you want to dive into this 100+ hour epic, we highly recommend checking out our farming guide to easily earn EXP and MAG, along with our Metaphor ReFantazio Archetypes list to help you decide which abilities to go for.

Diablo 4

  Diablo 4 Darkness has overtaken Sanctuary once more. Hatred’s poisonous tendrils have corrupted its people, and demons of all shapes and sizes roam the land. Blood soaks the earth beneath our feet, and Lilith is poised to reign supreme. This is Diablo 4, the best Diablo game ever made. As noted in our  Diablo 4 review , our hero’s story is a twisted tale of tragedy and loss that sinks its hooks into you from the get-go. Even when you reach the end, Diablo 4’s story is far from over, and Hatred is far from eradicated.  Blizzard keeps things fresh with new seasonal updates that have included everything from vampires to bizarre, spider-like robots. Oh, and also Gemma Chan.

Alan Wake 2

  Alan Wake 2 Alan Wake is a familiar name in gaming, following the success of the 2010 psychological thriller game in which he was introduced to us. The first game had an expansion, American Nightmare, and a remastered re-release, but all fans have wanted for the last decade was a sequel to the Remedy game. Announced during The Game Awards 2021, the  Alan Wake 2 release date  arrived in 2023, where we find Wake rotting away in the Dark Place. At least we know where he’s been all this time. As we explain in our  Alan Wake 2 review , a lot of the new game doesn’t take place with Wake in the Dark Place; we take on the role of the new character Saga Anderson, an FBI agent uncovering the dark secrets of Bright Falls. Switch between the two characters as you progress through this unique  story game  and uncover the link between Bright Falls, the Dark Place, and the novelist himself.

Valorant

  Valorant The Counter-Strike series has sat unchallenged as the pinnacle of competitive FPS games since its inception, featuring shooting mechanics that reward mechanical skill above all else, a weapon economy that provokes constant strategic reshuffles, and perfectly balanced maps. Valorant, from Riot Games, does all of that while mixing in a roster of heroes, each with passive, active, and ultimate abilities. Some of those abilities have Counter-Strike counterparts, like smokescreens, flashes, and grenades, but there’s nuance to how each Agent’s kit works that ensures every round plays out differently. Valorant may not win over the FPS purists, but it’s infinitely more accessible and offers new players an inroad that doesn’t involve being good at clicking on heads. And if you are one of those new players, then allow us to help you out with a guide to  all the Valorant characters , a ranking of them in the form of a  Valorant tier list , and a helping han...
