The PC gaming landscape has changed in recent times as well as in the form of technological advances in gaming graphics cards and monitors, as well as the makeup of the IGN’s PC game staff as well as contributors. This means that, with the exception of the most stalwarts our selection of the top contemporary PC games is significantly different from the previous years.
1. Half-Life: Alyx
The first Half-Life game in over 13 years was a reminder of the unique innovation that been the reason this series is so unique and the reason it was so eagerly much anticipated. Like the first Half-Life showed that you can convey a compelling narrative in the first-person perspective without losing the control of your camera and Half-Life 2 introduced combat and puzzles that were based on physics, Half-Life: Alyx set the bar for the quality of virtual reality shooters , and is an exceptional experience. It’s so stunning and unique that we feel it’s completely justified buying the VR headset on your PC if aren’t yet (especially considering that the Meta Quest 2 can be bought for just $300 and connects to your computer wirelessly using Air Link).
2. Alienware Aurora 2019
Dell is known for making laptops and desktop computers. Alienware is known for making computers for gaming. Dell and Alienware are two of the most popular computer manufacturers. The Alienware Aurora 2019 will be available starting at under 2000$. Alienware has designed this beautiful Alienware Aurora R9 for gamers.
3. XCOM 2
XCOM 2 is a sequel to the amazing, high-stakes, tactical battle that was XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and its War of the Chosen expansion added even more value. It’s got the same tension of going from being a technologically inferior opponent to a formidable military machine, and the threat of permanent demise of your customized soldiers at the forefront of every choice.
4. Disco Elysium
Disco Elysium took age-old CRPG mechanics and developed something totally contemporary with the mechanics. Alongside transferring dice-rolls and deep dialog options from Dungeons and Dragons into a less-known noir-detective world It also offers completely original strategies to play like engaging in debate against 24 different parts of your brain each representing a unique quality or ability.
5. Elden Ring
In the short months since the release of the game Elden Ring’s fame has only increased, which is a bit crazy to even imagine the fact that when it first came out was among the top evaluated games ever. This is all well-deserved as Elden Ring actually is a major accomplishment in the open-world category.
The world of the game is an absolute delight to discover, offering memorable adventures, excellent rewards and epic boss fights that cover almost every square inch of its massive map. The only thing holding it back from making the list is that it’s still struggling with performance issues on the PC. However, that shouldn’t deter it from being a great choice to be among our top five favorite PC games ever.
Elden Ring remains the best-reviewed game in 2022 by IGN — and is one of the most well-reviewed games in the history of gaming. Elden Ring was sold 16.6 million copies in the first four months.

6. Crusader Kings 3
Although historical strategy games are most likely popular for their intricate systems that are so dense they’re nearly impossible to penetrate but they also tell personal stories that unfold when the great characters come together. Crusader Kings 3 gives you numerous ways to tell these stories, whether it’s the overwhelming military power, the diplomatic savvy of a well-placed marriage, or putting your enemies to death by using a cloak-and dagger storyline.
CK3 can also make these complex systems as easy as they’ve ever been by incorporating a powerful nested tooltip system that lets even novices appreciate the game’s depth. The most recent expansion, Royal Court, adds the ability to zoom in on physical space so that the ruler of your empire can look his subject in the eyes making individual judgments and making world-wide rulings. The expansion also introduces an intricately redesigned culture system through the game, providing you with the chance to make your kingdom feel distinct, and all the advantages and consequences associated with it.
We also rated Crusader Kings 3 one of the top PC Game Pass games.
