Yes, it\u2019s the game that launched a hundred \u201cbuy it on a fridge\u201d memes, but <\/span>Skyrim <\/span><\/i>is still an utterly absorbing and unique experience.

The first <\/span>Half-Life <\/span><\/i>is a benchmark-setter, but <\/span>Half-Life 2 <\/span><\/i>is where the series truly became unmissable.

Quadrilateral Cowboy <\/span><\/i>is an experience so offbeat it could only appear on PC. It\u2019s a coding puzzler in which you must type commands to open doors, control drones, and pull off the perfect heist.

Through sequels and remakes, the first <\/span>Dark Souls <\/span><\/i>is still the one that shines. This remastered edition has been optimised much better than the original, which means Blighttown won\u2019t chug like a faulty steam train anymore. There\u2019s never been a better time to experience this dark fantasy action-RPG than right now.<\/span><\/p>\nSid Meier\u2019s Civilization VI<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Each iteration of <\/span>Civ <\/span><\/i>improves on the last, and the sixth instalment is the most addictive to date. <\/span>Civilization VI <\/span><\/i>maintains the franchise\u2019s turn-based empire-building strategy gameplay but adds a wealth of new features sure to appeal to newcomers and franchise old hands alike.<\/span><\/p>\nMinecraft<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
What else to say about <\/span>Minecraft<\/span><\/i>? It\u2019s the creativity toy that sparked a thousand memes, pretenders, and YouTube videos of people recreating the entirety of Westeros within its boundaries. <\/span>Minecraft <\/span><\/i>is at once sedate and deep, involved and relaxed, casual and hardcore. Check it out if you want to lose days of your life.<\/span><\/p>\nDisco Elysium<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
If you love games like <\/span>Planescape: Torment <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Baldur\u2019s Gate<\/span><\/i>, you\u2019ll adore <\/span>Disco Elysium<\/span><\/i>. If you just love great writing and an innovative approach to CRPG character-building, you\u2019ll adore <\/span>Disco Elysium<\/span><\/i>. Heck, if you don\u2019t mind reading and want to play an incredible game, you\u2019ll love <\/span>Disco Elysium<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Yes, it\u2019s the game that launched a hundred \u201cbuy it on a fridge\u201d memes, but <\/span>Skyrim <\/span><\/i>is still an utterly absorbing and unique experience. Its massive open world takes hours to traverse, and you\u2019ll never discover all of its myriad secrets, even across hundreds of hours of play time. <\/span>Skyrim <\/span><\/i>is a world in which to truly get lost.<\/span><\/p>\nHalf-Life 2<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
The first <\/span>Half-Life <\/span><\/i>is a benchmark-setter, but <\/span>Half-Life 2 <\/span><\/i>is where the series truly became unmissable. Gordon Freeman\u2019s physics-heavy first-person shooter adventure across the ruined City 17 is as compelling and addictive now as it was back in 2004, and the Gravity Gun has aged incredibly well.<\/span><\/p>\nPortal<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
From the sublime to the sublime. <\/span>Portal <\/span><\/i>is, quite simply, perfect. Its short length belies a masterfully-written dark sci-fi adventure through a facility that may not be all it claims. GLaDOS earns her right to occupy a space in the pantheon of the greatest video game characters, and the gameplay\u2019s pretty excellent too.<\/span><\/p>\nXCOM 2<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Although <\/span>XCOM: Enemy Unknown <\/span><\/i>is excellent, its sequel is even better. More alien types, better strategic options, and gameplay streamlining make this turn-based strategy sequel a much easier ask on newbies and returning Commanders alike. The narrative may be a little too \u201cto be continued\u201d, but the journey along the way is unforgettable.<\/span><\/p>\nQuadrilateral Cowboy<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Quadrilateral Cowboy <\/span><\/i>is an experience so offbeat it could only appear on PC. It\u2019s a coding puzzler in which you must type commands to open doors, control drones, and pull off the perfect heist. Its slightly clunky interface will put off the more casual gamer, but if you\u2019re up for a puzzle game with a difference, give this one a try.<\/span><\/p>\nSubnautica<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
This is a survival game with a difference. <\/span>Subnautica <\/span><\/i>eschews the randomly-generated worlds beloved by its stablemates, preferring instead a hand-crafted underwater paradise rife with danger and intrigue. There are survival mechanics, but exploration is the order of the day here, and it works beautifully.<\/span><\/p>\nRed Dead Redemption 2<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve got the rig to run it, <\/span>Red Dead Redemption 2 <\/span><\/i>is a cowboy adventure for the ages. Set during the dying embers of the Wild West, <\/span>RDR2 <\/span><\/i>follows Arthur Morgan, a member of the notorious Dutch Van der Linde\u2019s gang. Attention to detail is the order of the day; you\u2019ll spend hours just soaking in the meticulously-crafted atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\nHypnospace Outlaw<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Described by its creators as a \u201c90s internet simulator\u201d, <\/span>Hypnospace Outlaw <\/span><\/i>is a weird, wacky, and wonderful game.

The first <\/span>Half-Life <\/span><\/i>is a benchmark-setter, but <\/span>Half-Life 2 <\/span><\/i>is where the series truly became unmissable.

Although <\/span>XCOM: Enemy Unknown <\/span><\/i>is excellent, its sequel is even better.

Quadrilateral Cowboy <\/span><\/i>is an experience so offbeat it could only appear on PC. It\u2019s a coding puzzler in which you must type commands to open doors, control drones, and pull off the perfect heist.
