Windows 10 has finally rolled out, and with support from Nvidia and AMD, some of the best PC games in recent memory are ready to go. Here's my selection of ten great games that you can expect to play after making the leap to Windows 10.
Dying Light
Dying Light is a welcome change of pace for the open world zombie survival genre. Given the advantageous gift of free-running, you can take to the rooftops to outrun the undead, rather than facing them head-on. But, if you'd rather go toe-to-toe, Dying Light also offers brutal melee combat, similar to developer Techland's previous zombie game, Dead Island.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best open-world action-RPGs of this year. If you haven't played this one already, you may want to add it to your list. With a beautiful world filled with hundreds of quests and a combat system that is as engaging as it is exciting, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt undoubtedly deserves your attention. Plus, if you have a strong enough rig to run it, the PC version is absolutely gorgeous.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
It may only be the prologue to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but Ground Zeroes is still an adventure worth looking into. Despite being rather short, you can tackle its missions in numerous ways, making for a complex sandbox game that's unlike anything the series has seen before. It's one of the few Metal Gear Solid games to make it to PC, and as you'd expect, Windows players have access to the best looking version of the game.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is still a beautifully crafted action-RPG that continues to impress with its enormous open world. The game's wintry lands are a joy to explore, and the diverse array of quests that inhabit it make for a compelling gameplay experience. Even after all these years, the game is still a pleasure to play, and with the addition of mods, the possibilities for new ways to interact with its world are endless.
Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V retains much of what makes the series so enduring: a giant open world filled with an assortment of activities to do, hundreds of vehicles to drive, and a rich crime-filled narrative. However, i'ts far grander than previous games in the series, with a distinctive multi-protagonist structure and an expansive online multiplayer that make this sequel well worth your time.
Titanfall
Titanfall mixes dynamic, on-foot firefights with chaotic Titan battles to create a multiplayer game that's nothing short of fantastic. It reinvents the shooter genre, ultimately delivering one of the most refreshing, competitive combat experiences in years.
Dark Souls
Dark Souls remains a marvelously entertaining and challenging adventure that never fails to test your wits and reflexes. What lies within is an emotionally fulfilling gameplay experience that rewards your perseverance with the ecstasy of victory and the wonder of discovery. There's no better time than now to test your mettle in what's surely one of the most sadistically and satisfyingly difficult games of all time.
Alien: Isolation
Alien: Isolation is one of the most terrifying Alien games in existence. It strips you of many offensive luxuries, leaving you with nothing more than a motion sensor and whatever meager tools that you can scrounge from your environment. With a foreboding, derelict spaceship to navigate, and shrill, industrial sound design, this game is an absolute must for survival horror aficionados and Alien fans alike.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a masterclass in how to make a modern, turn-based strategy game. Underlying its simple humans-vs-aliens story is a tense gameplay experience that demands a keen sense of awareness. And while the tragic deaths of your soldiers can't be undone due to perma-death rules, XCOM: Enemy Unknown will keep you coming back for more with its amazing depth and great sense of progression.
Portal 2
Portal 2 is an impressive puzzler that expands and capitalizes upon all of the strengths of its unique predecessor. Its gameplay concept is simple: using the game’s trademark portal gun, you create two portals. Go into one, and you’ll come out the other. While this seems overwhelmingly simple, the game's meticulously designed puzzles and humorous plot make for an experience that is delightful, charming, and wildly entertaining.
