The best PC games 2021 you don’t want to miss

 With all the games out there, it can be tough finding the best PC games. And, since there are so many genres, finding the best PC game can be very subjective. However, some games do stand apart from the rest. Though every game deserves a shot, the ones that rise to the top should have a place in everyone’s game library.

1. Control

It’s not hard to see why Control has taken the gaming world by storm. The creative team at Remedy Entertainment made sure to pack this title with plenty to love, paying very close attention to the intricate details. A deeply cinematic game, this action-adventure offers its players staggering visuals, inspired environment design and brilliant performances – not to mention, a deeply satisfying combat experience.

Control places you in the capable shoes of fiery-haired Jesse Faden.

Control places you in the capable shoes of fiery-haired Jesse Faden. You’re tasked to seek out The Oldest House, a building in New York City that’s in a constant state of architectural flux and only appears to those who desire to find it, and locate your missing brother, all while heading the Federal Bureau of Control as its director and overseeing the containment of paranatural entities.

There’s nothing quite like Control on the market, and it makes it one of the best PC games to play right now.

2. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is aging like fine wine. Even several years after it hit the streets, it’s still one of the most impressive open world games that’s ever existed – mixing Skyrim’s unapologetic scale with Grand Theft Auto V’s incredible depth. It’s such a jam-packed game, which is why it claims the top spot on our list of the best PC games in 2021. Staggering, beautiful and an absolute time sink – in a good way – The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt isn’t just the best PC game of 2021 or among the best open world games on PC. It might just be one of the best video games of all time.

3. World of Warcraft: Shadowlands

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands may be the fastest selling game this side of Cyberpunk 2077. But it’s also a shot in the arm to one of the longest lasting MMOs out there. Considering WoW has 16 years under its belt, the new installment keeps things fresh by introducing not only a new story but a revamped leveling system, access to a new class, and, of course, new areas, dungeons, and raids to explore and take part in.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands takes place in the land of the dead, split into five major zones and a central hub city to explore. Whether you want to play with friends or tackle the story on your own, there’s a ton of new content here to keep you occupied. Though there’s plenty of new additions with the expansion, such as more character customizations and a new drop zone known as “Exile’s Reach” for beginner players to level up, the game stays true to its RPG and MMO roots, giving you the kind of fantasy-laden vast world to explore and kill monsters in that’s kept the game alive for 16 years.

4. Ghostrunner

Ultra-violence and constant motion meet in this post-apocalyptic dystopian game. This FPP is not for the faint of heart – it’s tense, exhilarating, and you will probably die over and over trying to beat it. If you ever wanted a game that came in equal parts Doom Eternal and Mirror’s Edge, you found it in Ghostrunner.

The game is set in Dharma Tower, a sort-of last refuge for humanity, where you ascend the tower through platforming and katana-induced carnage to take revenge on a ruthless ruler. You do so by slicing up your enemies, dodging bullets, and using a number of unique abilities to continue making your way to the top. This is the kind of game that will leave you out of breath just playing it. And, if that sounds like your kind of game, then you’re in for a treat.
