The top 100 PC games
www.pcgamer.com
Welcome to the 2024 edition of the PC Gamer Top 100—our annual list of the best PC games around.

Quite a good list, although without any real surprises, except for the cheeky inclusion of a recent fan-made PC port. I’m glad Kerbal Space Program is on it, but a few other personal favorites (and candidates for best game of all time) are absent, like The Talos Principle, BeamNG.drive, NEO Scavenger, World of Goo, Mafia, Machinarium and Gothic II. Jets’n’Guns - a very early Indie masterpiece of a 2D space shooter - as well, but it’s a bit too obscure for these kinds of lists. I’ll stop here before I accidentally create my own top 100.

Are your favorite PC games well-represented by this list?

    Their entire list is odd choices except for the top 10 (even persona 5 is iffy as top 10 of all time)

    They favor shooters and then place a game that had lost most of its audience in under a year as the best shooter other than doom 1 of all time.

    I love helldivers, but it is a very niche game in comparison to so many others, even those on the list.

    Not to mention KOTOR and DA:O as 94 and 95. Also prey is an extremely weird choice…

      Prey kinda kicked off the immersive genre. I think the thing folks are not getting is that this is not a best game of all time list, even though they say “100 best.” It is a “100 Favorite Games of the PC Gamer Staff” list. It is going to be different than anyone’s exact taste. There are a ton of games on there that I think would not be in my top 100, but I am not mad or confused about it. It’s just something someone else is into.
