I always loved gaming, but never had the fund for a decent setup, so I sink thousand of hours into games like Heroes 3, Age of Empires 3, GTA San Andreas, World of Warcraft, League of Legends, several low-tier older MMORPG-s, and browser games. I'm financially at a better place now, so I surprised myself with a good custom built PC, it have a Ryzen 5600 and an RTX3070. What games should I put on my wishlist from the last ~10 years, that were absolutely bangers and are must play? My favourites are games with huge and well detailed open world, and city builders (like AoE3).

For now, my list is the following:

• Red Dead Redemption 2 (already bought it)

• Witcher 3 (with DLC-s)

• Hogwarts Legacy

• Starfield

• GTA5

• Elden Ring

• Dark Souls 3

• Fallout 4

• Age of Empires 4

Looking for some good single-player games to play on PC, here's what I've already played because I can see them being recommended before I even post this:

• Red Dead 2

• Both Spider-Man games (Spider-Man 2 isn't out on PC I don't believe, so just Morales and the first one I've played.)

• Cyberpunk

• TWD Telltale

• Skyrim

• GTA V

• All Dark Souls and Elden Ring

• All of the Uncharted's

• Ghost of Tsushima

• Baldur’s Gate 3

• Witcher 3

• Silent Hill 2 Remake

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, so yeah. Don't recommend those.

They also don't have to be story games either, they can be any genre. Survival, Open world, Story-based, Puzzle games, anything.

Thanks!

Long story short: I had kids and started a new career, the last game I played was Skyrim on launch. The kids are old enough that they're starting to entertain themselves and work is going good. Just built a new PC with a 4080 Super. Throw some PC games at me, what did I miss?

On the list already:

• Mass Effect 3 (played the previous games)

• Red Dead Redemption 2 (played the previous games)

• Cyberpunk 2077

• No Man's Sky

• Deadlock

• Counter-Strike 2

I've been out of pc gaming pretty much since before the ps5 came out. Building a new pc next week and looking for some games that are exclusive to pc (or much better on pc) that I can play.

I like AAA games, usually big open world rpgs, but im honestly feeling burned out on them, so ideally something different. As much as I love games like ghost of tsushima and the assassins creed games, lately I download them, open them, play for 10 minutes and get bored, then delete them.

For PC series, I liked total war, mount and blade, and city builders, and to be honest didn't really stray from that much. I haven't ever really got into indie games but would like to try some out.

In your opinion, what are some must play games on pc?

I never had a decent PC until now , so in the last 10 years i was only been able to play games that require low spec. Which games would you recommend knowing that i skipped 10 years of good gaming till today?

some games i have enjoyed through my life:

-nds games

-portal 1 and 2

-tboi

-minecraft

-wow

-osrs

-fortnite

-lol

-cs2

-hello neighbor

-poppy playtime

-balatro

-undertale/deltarune

cant think of any more rn but you can get the idea

I am primarily a Console gamer. I love my PS5. So most games I play on that. However I had to get a desktop computer for work and decided on a gaming one cause why not. I am obviously going to download sims games with mods now that I have that capability and Stardew valley will be great on this bigger screen. But what other games are just better on a PC. I'm not looking for Red dead redemption, COD or Assassins creed games like that as I play those on my console. What is essential gaming for the PC?

I just got a new PC so I can actually play games, what should I start with? Currently I have these in mind:

• Cyperpunk 2077

• RDR2

• Helldivers 2

• Dragons Dogma 2

• The Finals

• The Witcher 3

• Elden Ring

Yea basically all of the classics, what else should I put on my list? I especially like RPG games. I was looking at Assasins Creed but it had mixed reviews.

Thank You❤️

i got a 4060 (am i a retard?)with a 5600, and bought a 1440p 165hz monitor, now i will be getting lower fps but i needed a 27inch so i had to get a 1440p. i dont know shit about all this pc stiff just barley the basics, pls gimme any types of tips

I need games

So, ive been wanting a gaming pc for AGES, but then my dad finally decided to give me one and im pooking for some games for this beast, its got a 14th gen I5 (dont remember the actuall name of the processor, but i think its the best i5 there is), 32 gigs of ddr4, 1 terabyte nvme and an rtx 4060, ive been looking but i dont seem to find games that i actually want to play, i already downloaded some games like assetto corsa, contraband police, schedule I, minecraft, roblox and the og gtas, id appreciate it if someone would suggest me some games :3

As there's a bunch of sales going around, i'm wondering what games I HAVE to get.

What games do I REALLY need to try?

So I'm building a new PC which will have:

• Ryzen 5 5600x

• RTX 4070 Super (soon)

• 32 GB DDR4 RAM @ 3200MHz

• 1TB NVMe SSD

I'm super excited about it and I would like you to suggest me the first game I should begin on the new spec, I'm considering following;

• Silent Hill 2 remake

• Dragon's Dogma 2

• Dragon Age Veilguard

• Black Myth Wukong

Currently I'm also playing Elden Ring, RE2 Remake and Baldurs Gate 3, so my taste in games is pretty wide, but I would like something flashy and nice looking for a new adventure. Open to other suggestions besides this of course! Thanks!

I just got my first laptop that can actually play games, and I'm really excited to try them out, but I'm not sure which games would be worth it right now.

For context, I have Xbox game pass, so any game on that you'd recommend is good.

I like narrative based games that make you connect with the characters and world, but that's not a strict criteria, it should just be really fun.

What I've heard great things about is Outer Wilds, so I'll try that but if you have other recommendations please let me know

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Finally I completed my build (and long time dream) and I have high end setup ( mainly 4090 , 7800x3d , aw3225qf).
Coming from a very low end PC for years & no console - I missed quite a few games in the recent years.
So ... what games did I missed ?
Just finished Red Dead 2 - didnt like much at first but towards the end I coudlnt belive it eneded (and how it ended) I don't think I ever was so attached to a story in game.
Also finished Space Marine 2 (first buy I did once I got the PC... nice game but too short)

I already got myself a little list I will try go get good prices in black friday :

1. Wukong

2. Cyberpunk + DLC

3. GOW Ragnarok

4. Ghost of Tsushima

I am still thinking about Elden Ring and BG3 - I am not sure I will survive souls game and turn based games seems weird - probably will depent on the price I could get in blackfriday.

Any other games I should consider ? What games am I missing?
BTW my main way to filter between games is steam reviews.
Genere is less important I guess if a game is good is good.

Edit 1 week later
*****************
First of all I would like to thank you all for the great comments - I think this is is the most activate sub I have personally seen in reddit so kudos to you guys.
Unfortune for me I have to do other things then playing didnt even had time to play once this week.
I got some research to do on the long list of games suggest here - I will favorite the post and will come back to it again and again.

I decided I will start with Cyberpunk for now and I will try to see which of the games suggested will get the best
deals

What are your top 5 and do you still play all of them?
