List of top-rated 20 outstanding PC games that you should play right now. If you're looking for a more comprehensive list that includes our favorite games from the past few decades, then you have come to the right place.
Every year, the Go Search Directory team gets together to decide the top 20 PC games. The process is simple: we take last year's list, propose a bunch of additions, tweaks, and removals, and then hold a series of hours-long discussions going step-by-step through every suggestion.
Here's the result: a list of what we think are the best PC games you can play today. That caveat—play today—is important. These aren't necessarily the most important or most influential games
As always, we prefer to celebrate the breadth and variety on the platform, so we've limited ourselves to one entry per game series. We've also included a selection of personal picks—games that didn't make the list, but that individual members of the team still love. Enjoy!
