Best PC Games in 2021

Old World
A turn-based 4X strategy game that, at least for the moment, outdoes Civilization at its game. Highly recommended. 

Scarlet Nexus
One of the most ambitious games of the year. This action RPG doesn't succeed at everything, but it's definitely fun to watch it try. Our review explains

Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance
We're outliers here: A lot of people weren't into this co-op action RPG, but Andy had a great time. It's a combat-focused D&D adventure, meaning you won't find character development that doesn't have to do with killing monsters.

REMASTER

Resident Evil Village
The tall vampire lady took over the conversation a little, but hey, there's also a horror videogame here: A really good one, too. (And a tall vampire lady, of course.)

Disco Elysium - The Final Cut
Our 2019 Game of the Year, detective RPG Disco Elysium, has been updated with more voice acting and quests. The developers call this version "definitive," so if you waited to play one of our favorite recent games, now is a good time.

BATTLE ROYALE

Apex Legends
Warzone's nuke event was a bit of a letdown, but Apex Legends is thriving right now—Season 9 is its biggest yet, and a lot of people (including ourselves) have been jumping back in.

Valheim (Early Access)
The team got into Viking survival game Valheim for a bit: Chris said it was making him love survival games again, and set up a server where other PCGers eagerly entered the Viking afterlife. Interest has cooled a little, but we're still looking forward to updates and we keep finding cool mods

MORE GREAT GAMES

Nioh 2 (92%)
Dark Souls has many off-brand imitators, but Nioh 2 is the real deal—a great samurai adventure set in Japan's Sengoku period.

Hitman 3 (90%)
Our first 90% score of 2021 goes to one of our favorite contemporary series—if you haven't checked out IO's modern Hitman games yet, you're missing out. 

Assassin's Creed Valhalla (92%)
It's the best Assassin's Creed yet, said Steven in his review, which is pretty impressive given the breadth of the series. Go have a Viking adventure—it's worth it.

Crusader Kings 3 (94%)
"Crusader Kings 3 is incredible," said Fraser in his review of the new medieval grand strategy game and family drama generator. "I can't imagine being done with it."

Factorio (91%)
The factory-building game is finally out of Early Access, and it's brilliant. A "stupendously intricate mechanical cake," as we put it in our review.

Half-Life: Alyx (92%)
It isn't Half-Life 3, and it's VR only, but it's one of the best VR games you can buy, so if you've got a headset it's a must have.

Hades (90%)
The one roguelike that doesn't punish you for death, instead rewarding you with more of its excellent NPCs drawn from Greek myth. 

Super Mega Baseball 3 (90%)
It's the best baseball game on PC, and helped get us through the sportsless times.

Doom Eternal (94%)
High-tempo demon slaying that'll make you sweat. It might take an hour or so to click, but when it does it's better than the 2016 reboot.

Valorant (90%)
It can't be called original—it's Counter-Strike, but different—but Riot's free-to-play shooter is still the year's best new competitive game.

Paradise Killer (91%)
The zany vaporwave world might be a bit much for some, but the sleuthing is good. One of the best detective games you can play.

Amnesia: Rebirth (91%)
It plays a lot like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but goes much, much deeper into the pit of eldritch horror. 

Like any huge multiplayer game, it's got its problems—glitches and cheaters have been an issue, and its first event was just so-so—but Warzone is still one of our favorite battle royale games right now. On this list you'll find the best PC games we're playing right now—recent singleplayer hits, thriving esports, and a few modern classics that would improve any library. We'll continue to update this list as new games release, removing older favorites and replacing them with our latest obsessions. Rather than an ever-expanding list that reaches deep into the past, we're shooting for a practical answer to the question: 'What new PC game should I get?'

If you're looking for a more comprehensive list which includes our favorite games from the past few decades, check out our yearly Top 100 list  or our list of the most important PC games. For an up-to-date look at upcoming games, we've assembled a guide to the new games of 2021. For free options, check out the best free games on Steam and best free browser games. Need a new system to play these games on? You can build an entry-level gaming PC for around $750,  or our recommended mid-range PC for $1,000. If you want something that works out of the box, we also recommend some pre-built PCs.
