Now we will tell you about the best PC games of the last decade, which were released only on this platform or for a long time were its exclusives. What is the best PC game in the world? Read about it later.
Half-life-2
The first part of the series forever changed the genre of computer shooters: a thoughtful plot, scripted scenes and a sense of the real world in which all the action takes place appeared in the game. The second part did not become a revolution, because it can be said to continue the development of past ideas in the evolutionary plane. However, the game was absolutely amazing. The main character again became Gordon Freeman - the last hope of mankind in the fight against an alien invasion and mysterious experimenters. The plot of Half-Life-2 opens in crumbs, but the ending will still leave many questions unanswered. The developers skillfully combined several genres, which allows us to go through it in the endless dynamics of fun shootings. Making a rating of the best games on the PC, many gamers would give the honorable first place to Half-Life-2. Well, for 2004 it was really a masterpiece.
STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl
One of the most popular games in the post-Soviet space, beckoning with its outlandish atmosphere, can be called one of the best PC exclusives in the last 10 years. The first part was released in 2007, having sold more than 2 million copies. Gloomy sounds, an ominous whistle of the wind, dangerous anomalies, fascinating dialogs and dynamic skirmishes allow you to completely immerse yourself in the game. Perhaps this is the main advantage of the Stalker.
The zone cannot forgive gross errors, which is why the only erroneous movement, underestimated opponents or an unnoticed mutant threaten you with the inscription "Game over" on the monitor. At first, the game is a bit like an excellent RPG, it has many characteristic elements (several groups, freedom of movement, a lot of side tasks, a “pseudo-pumping” of the hero). A small village or an unfinished plant can turn out to be anything - from the lair of the mutants to the army checkpoint. The script is also written quite solidly. The single will give you 20-30 hours of rich history of the Tagged, full of mysteries and deadly dangers. The graphics in the game are quite fresh, although it does not reach the highest praise. Nevertheless, all 18 huge levels are created with such care and attention to detail that the illusion of being on the other side of the monitor does not leave for a minute. In general, the game turned out to be very exciting and addictive. If you make a rating of the best games on the PC, then STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl will firmly enter the top ten leaders. We move on to the next project.
Crysis
The game was waiting for a very long time. Since the debut announcement made by Crytek, the audience has been in a painfully agonizing expectation of a miracle. They waited primarily for the technological revolution. Of course, to a greater extent this mini-review will praise the picture in the game. All the scenery and various objects look simply divine - colorful and extremely realistic. Without exaggeration, the best game in the world on PC in 2007 in terms of graphics quality is Crysis. The gameplay is quite busy due to its specificity. Recall that the game tells us about the actions of an elite American special forces located on the island, lost in the depths of the Philippine Sea. To avoid spoilers, we will not go further into the plot, noting only that you will have time to fight with the brave Korean soldiers and with aliens.
One of the main highlights of the title was the nanosuit. In the process of passing, you will be able to change many characteristics, choosing between strong armor, high speed of movement, incredible strength or invisibility. In general, the game turned out to be very high quality and beautiful. At the same time, the developers did not try to jump above their heads, which only benefited the product. If we talk about what were the best games of the year in 2007, then Crysis should definitely occupy its niche in the FPS genre.
The Witcher-2: Assassin's of Kings
The Witcher-2, developed by the Polish company CD Project, received very high ratings from players and critics. The protagonist again is the notorious fighter with unclean power, a thunderstorm of the drowned and other terrible monsters - the witcher Geralt of Rivia. The player will have to go on an exciting journey, investigating the assassination attempt on the head of the kingdom of Temeria Foltest and the murder of other crowned persons. During his epic quest, our hero may be involved in matters of a smaller scale, participation in which will somehow affect the world around us and one of the 16 endings. It is worth noting that the game also made a huge step forward towards variability, because many quests can be solved in 2-3 ways. But, of course, this element of history manifests itself most strongly in the second chapter, which changes radically depending on our decision made earlier.
In the sequel, the Poles noticeably finalized some gameplay elements. First of all, this concerns dialogues and the combat system. I would also like to note an easier control of magic, an expanded alchemical system and crafting all kinds of objects (swords, armor, bombs and the like). Visually, the game looks simply amazing: bewitching landscapes, well-drawn characters and realistic objects will not allow you to break away from this world for a minute. To be honest, The Witcher-2: Assassin's of Kings is the best PC game in the world in 2011.
Arma-3
The most important difference between the third part and its predecessor is the quality of the graphics. Here, many visual elements are exposed to settings, which makes it difficult to distinguish some screenshots from the game from photos. Firstly, this is facilitated by the scene - 2 huge islands, which are real copies of Greek prototypes in the Aegean. We will not talk about a single player campaign, we only mention that it is quite dynamic, rich and, importantly, variative. Nevertheless, the main trump card of this project is multiplayer. It is worth noting that all the newcomers to the series, accustomed to Battlefield and Call of Duty, where you can weigh delicious headshots in a jump, will have a very hard time in the brainchild of Bohemia Interactive.
Get used to the environment where one bullet is deadly, the enemy can hide in the bushes, and control of the equipment is not so simple, it will not work outright. In Arma-3 you have to act like a real military training ground, lying in tall grass, carefully inspect the windows in the houses and trying to always be one step ahead of the enemy. In general, the real hardcore for players. At the moment, Arma-3 is the best PC game in the world in the FPS Simulation genre.
Total War: Rome-2
Total War is one of the most striking and respectable strategic series. It was our heroine who became the most ambitious, beautiful and thoughtful part that won the hearts of millions of players around the world. Total War: Rome-2 will make it possible to rule the great Roman Empire (or other powers), commanding motley and numerous troops, subdue opponents by all possible methods (war, diplomacy, bribery) and, finally, admire the local beauties. As before, the game includes a step-by-step mode and the usual elements of the RTS AAA project. The modified Warscape engine allows us to consider the smallest details of huge cities and soldiers, as well as enjoy excellent physics and impressive sound effects.
What conclusion can be drawn by rating games on a PC? Total War: Rome-2 may be one of the best projects in the genre of real-time strategy.

These are perhaps the most popular free computer games. Below we will do 2 more mini-reviews on the flawless rating leaders - Dota-2 and World of Warcraft.
Dota-2
Dota-2 is a real-time strategy game with the possibility of playing online. Matches in "DotA" always occur between light and dark forces. Teams at the same time count 3-5 people. Each gamer plays for a certain hero, endowed with certain unique abilities. To win the task, you need to destroy the "headquarters" of the enemy team, gaining the maximum amount of experience and money in order to become much stronger. Today, Dota-2 is completely free. All you need to do is register on Steam and download the game to your computer.
World of warcraft
The world of Warcraft has become a game haven for 7 million gamers, who for 10 years have been tirelessly seeking adventure in the vast expanses of Azeroth. We play for a certain hero, which must be pumped to participate in the most difficult battles. Gamers have the opportunity to participate in tournaments, complete a variety of quests or fight with other users. The further you advance, the more difficult the tasks become. Sometimes it’s not possible to go through this or that quest alone, which is why you have to look for allies, organizing squads in order to strive for victory together. The game features a huge number of races and classes, as well as a huge world that is interesting to explore even after 50-100 hours of gameplay. Our rating of PC games can be easily raised to Olympus by WoW, because according to the Guinness Book of Records, this is the most popular MMORPG.
