Until now, the PC is considered the best platform for gaming. Although consoles are also popular.

However, what to play in 2018 on PC? . And nothing is known about the new one yet. Here is the top of the best masterpieces from developers.

Modern games- these are real masterpieces with excellent graphics, thoughtful gameplay and a wonderful storyline.

Previously, the gaming industry could not please the user with variety. But now everything has changed.

The gamer has a huge set of games for all occasions: MMOs, simulators and other genres.

In 2018, several very interesting things are planned for release. The players will definitely like them.

It is worth noting that among the novelties of 2018 there are also continuations of fairly well-known franchises. And some developers with a name released their first toy. Be that as it may, this year's list of games allows you to hope that you will not have to die of boredom.

Far Cry 5

The long-awaited sequel to the wilderness survival franchise. However, in the fifth part, nature turned out to be not quite wild.

The developers moved the character to the USA. But this America is in no way similar to modern America.

It looks like a nuclear war has just taken place. But it's not. Religious fanatics just got down to business.

They also led the once prosperous country to complete devastation.

The hero will have to fight these "messengers of the Lord" sparing no bullets.

Interestingly implemented in this part of the gameplay. Even multiplayer is provided (in the best traditions of consoles, with a split screen). If there is no one to play with, then you can choose an assistant from the NPC. He can be both a human and a bionic mechanism.

Animals can also be used as helpers. However, the plot imposes its own characteristics on them.

For example, a dog brings not slippers, but weapons. And the rest - it's the good old FarCry with the capture of control points and a lot of shooting.

Far Cry Features

  • excellent graphics;
  • interesting story;
  • original gameplay;
  • the presence of multiplayer;
  • gorgeous soundtrack;
  • open world;
  • constant pressure;
  • the game is quite difficult to pass;
  • many story and side quests;
  • You can complete tasks in any order.

All of the above suggests that FarCry 5 turned out to be very worthy. The game will appeal to all fans of action. It closely intertwines the classic features of a shooter with some RPG borrowings.

Metro: Exodus

Continuation of the legendary Metro series. The action takes place in the vast expanses of Russia. However, the country is not like itself.

The thing is that events develop after nuclear wars that completely covered the planet. And Russia received a very tangible blow.

In the previous parts (2033, last light) the main character lived quietly in the St. Petersburg subway, fighting off crowds of mutants and raiders, getting to know new survivors and sometimes getting to the surface. However, now his path lies to the east. He is looking for a new home.

In this part of the franchise, almost all the action will take place on the surface of the destroyed Earth. Raiders and mutants have become smarter.

Now they are not so easy to fight. That is why several battle modes have been added to the game. One of them is hidden.

The hero will have to wind more than one thousand kilometers. It is impossible to overcome such a distance on your own two feet.

Therefore, a modified steam locomotive, made in the best traditions of the post-apocalyptic genre, is used as a vehicle.

Features Metro: Exodus

  • excellent graphics;
  • a larger world (compared to the previous parts);
  • new combat modes;
  • exciting plot;
  • interesting gameplay;
  • excellent soundtrack;
  • during the game does not leave the feeling of depression;
  • familiar landscapes (Russia, after all);
  • to pass the game will have to do strategic planning;
  • the intelligence of the NPC has grown noticeably;
  • a huge number of plot twists;
  • redesigned dialogue structure.

If the developers did not lie about everything that should appear in the new part of Metro, then it can definitely be considered the best of the entire series. And the point here is not at all in the schedule. Finally, the franchise is closer to reality. This cannot but rejoice.

a way out

Not exactly classic. The plot tells about two prisoners who planned a daring escape from prison.

The peculiarity of the toy is that there is no single player mode at all. You will have to go through this masterpiece only together.

The screen is divided into two parts (in the best traditions of consoles). The plot of A Way Out is full of twists and turns.

And in the story dialogues, you can even turn the situation the way the user wants. If one player has a dialogue, then the second can easily intervene in it. original solution.

To successfully complete the game, you will have to plan everything to the smallest detail.

Strategic planning is a key feature of the toy. If you just run and shoot, then it will not lead to anything good.

The game will have to solve many issues together. And do it very quickly. Otherwise, the cops will quickly shoot the prisoners. Sometimes there are moments that the gun (for example) is only one. And you have to decide who gets it. Everything else is in the same vein.

Features A Way Out

  • non-standard game mode;
  • famously twisted plot;
  • wonderful graphics;
  • excellent plot;
  • quick change of game types (secret movement, trash, and so on);
  • great soundtrack;
  • open world;
  • side quests;
  • high difficulty of the game;
  • Full time job in a team;
  • high level of artificial intelligence;
  • some tasks are very difficult.

This unusual toy promises to be very high quality and exciting. But the main thing is the mode of cooperative passage. So the game will never get bored. There are a lot of possible scenarios for the development of events. And that's what attracts me to A Way Out the most.

Tropico 6

The great El Presidente is back! A unique strategy with RPG elements that has previously won the hearts of millions of gamers.

Here the economy is closely intertwined with the fighting. And it greatly dilutes the gameplay.

In this part of the franchise, the territory of the state is not limited to one island.

The player has a whole archipelago at his disposal. And the dictator must do his best not to annoy his subjects. Otherwise, they will "throw" it.

You can, of course, rule with fear. But this support is the most unreliable. However, in the game you need to take care of the economy more than fight. And this distinguishes the strategy from similar toys. They need to be fought. But not in Tropico.

In the sixth part, the graphics have noticeably grown up, the gameplay has become more diverse. But artificial intelligence has become much smarter.

Now playing Tropico has become really interesting. At the service of the gamer is an almost real state that can be built the way you want.

Fig.5. Kingdom Come: Deliverance

A brand new toy set in medieval Bohemia (then called Bohemia).

The game is designed in RPG style, but it also has serious features of the simulator.

It allows gamers to fully immerse themselves in the difficult life of a person from the Middle Ages.

A feature of Kingdom Come: Deliverance is incredible realism. Real-life cities are used in locations. People also once lived in the expanses of Bohemia. Also, the main character is obliged to eat, drink and wash. Here it is - a raid of simulators.

The plot is tied to the fact that as a result of a noble conspiracy, the hero loses his family.

He enters the army as a simple soldier in order to go all the way to the highest ranks and avenge the death of his relatives.

You can choose another career (blacksmith, diplomat, and so on).

Learning how to wield swords, bows, crossbows, axes and other weapons is very difficult. Another sign of realism.

The developers have tried to make the graphics as realistic as possible. In this they succeeded.

Features of Kingdom Come: Deliverance

  • realistic graphics;
  • thoughtful physics;
  • to the smallest detail calculated plot;
  • exciting gameplay;
  • atmospheric soundtrack;
  • huge game world;
  • a large number of main and side quests;
  • high difficulty of the game;
  • opportunity to choose development;
  • classic experience system;
  • unsurpassed realism;
  • strategic thinking is required from the players.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the most realistic RPG ever made. If the user wants to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages (with all its cute features), then this toy will help to achieve the goal.

RPGs aren't just about witchers and wastelands, you know.

If games were people, then RPGs would be the kind of outsiders who were offended and ridiculed as imaginary friends in childhood, but who, despite all the ridicule, did what they loved and grew up successful and respected by everyone.

Yes, a genre that originated in the board game environment (a hobby not for everyone) has come to dominate the gaming industry. It's worth just looking at best games 2015 (In my opinion, the third Witcher, Fallout 4, Undertale, Bloodborne and Pillars of Eternity) - all in the RPG genre.

But the dominance of series like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and The Witcher means dozens of great RPGs go unnoticed by the general public. If you've only recently jumped on the fast-paced train of the role-playing game genre, try to pay attention to the following masterpieces.

10. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

The latest game in a horribly underrated series Vampire was also the best. Made on a famous engine Source by Valve, it gives the player the ability to create a vampire of their choice and immerse themselves in an open gothic world.

During gameplay, it is very important not to show your ghoul nature, because if you want to become a serial bloodsucker, it is desirable to be secretive. Many quests give the player the opportunity to avoid violence and get their way by persuasion, threats, or breaking locks and computers. With all this, it is most interesting to play in Bloodlines action style, in view of the impressive arsenal of vampire abilities available to the player.

Basically, Bloodlines is the Deus Ex of the vampire world, which is another reason why it's worth drowning in this game for hours. If you are afraid of the fact that the game is 11 years old, then I hasten to please you, there are enough mods for it to make it more attractive.

9 Alpha Protocol

RPG maestro Obsidian has always been at the forefront when it comes to creating well-developed characters, compelling storytelling, and interesting game worlds. Fallout: New Vegas, South Park: The Stick of Truth and the recently released Pillars of Eternity are proof of this.

Sure, Obsidian's games deserved their hit status, but one of their creations didn't achieve the same success. Alpha Protocol. Main character games - smug (and somewhat sociopathic) CIA agent Michael Thorton, performing typical missions to save the world with the help of gadgets, special abilities, and martial arts.

And while parts of the game feel like a somewhat weak version of Metal Gear Solid, it features interesting system dialogues in which you can be anything you like, good or evil, in relation to the interlocutor - from romantic relationships with colleagues - to the cold-blooded murder of all key characters on the way. Every decision has its consequences. The game can be played several times with completely different dialogues and plot.

This, combined with an excellent character development system in which the player has the opportunity to turn the protagonist into the agent of their dreams, makes Alpha Protocol very replayable. She is cunning, unusual, with unusual dialogues, all this unconventional invariably adds to the highlight of this game.

8. Mount and Blade: Warband

Many of us once imagined ourselves as feudal lords with their own castles. These fantasies must have come to you from childhood fairy tales of kings and knights without any consideration of the ruthlessness, exploitation of people and tyranny that is an integral part of this role.

Warband most successfully approached the creation of a realistic RPG about the feudal era (at least while Kingdom Come is in development). You are thrown into a fictional kingdom in which you have to fight, manipulate and manage a few starting resources in order to become a self-sufficient feudal lord.

In the same way, you will have to improve your character's skills, the ability to wield weapons and control your troops by giving them orders in battle. You will also have to sweat over the economic aspects of your fiefdom. As the player grows, the choice will be whether to be a merciless or benevolent lord of the earth, a choice not given in many games.

7. Pillars of Eternity

If you're new to the world of RPGs, chances are you're not familiar with 90s hits like Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment, which propelled the genre with gripping storytelling and open worlds full of adventure.

Pillars of Eternity from Obsidian tried to go back to basics, bringing back the meticulously rendered graphics for which those games were so famous, but without the outdated dice-based combat mechanics that will turn off any modern gamer who does not want to delve into all its complexities.

The game is amazingly written. Her world is full of variety, it is very interesting to explore. Gather a team, immerse yourself in intriguing side quests, reveal your own mystical past.

The game has a lot of dialogue and combat system not for the faint of heart, but if you are willing to devote enough personal time to her, you will find one of the most intense RPG games coming years.

6 Neo Scavenger

Most post-apocalyptic games are reminiscent of the wild west. Solid romance. Who doesn't want to roam the world freely without the suffocating barriers of our society?

Neo Scavenger, which makes Fallout 4 look like a fairy tale for children, is designed to break this mold. Her world is a very cold, dim place in which any insignificant object, be it a bag, a dirty cloth or a torn shoe, can be essential tool survival.

The complexity of this game is ruthless, and its external simplicity does not reflect its depth, atmosphere and intensity - tripled by the inability to return to the game after death.

If Fallout began to seem too casual, Neo Scavenger is the cure for boredom itself.

5. Gothic 2

For a short time at the beginning of the 2000s, the now well-known Elder Scrolls had a worthy opponent in the face of Gothic 2 from Piranha Bytes. The game was set on a medieval themed island Khorinis. Gothic offered the player to create a fantasy hero from scratch and explore a world in which, in fact, you could do anything. Do you want to be a pickpocket? Please. How about a magician/serial killer? No problem, but be prepared for serious consequences.

Second "Gothic" may look a bit outdated today, but that's not a big deal, thanks to a fairly intriguing storyline and an abundance of side storylines dependent on the player's actions, which makes you think carefully about each action, and not immediately reach for the sword.

Due to the release of Gothic 2 shortly after Morrowind, it was overshadowed by its more prestigious rival. But in terms of game mechanics, Gothic is ahead of it in many ways, and also offers a very interesting game world that you want to return to.

4. Rise

"But what happened to the developers of Gothic if the game was so successful?" you ask. And the answer is Risen and its sequels, more and more mediocre with each subsequent installment.

The original Risen, however, was interesting RPG Set on a Mediterranean-style island where the ancient titans come to life, the typical run-of-the-mill fantasy story, but the unique setting, the level of character "calibration", and the many rich dialogues that shape the character make Risen worthy of being on our list.

The unique style of the island is a mixture of a summer resort and a harsh dungeon filled with traps. This and much more that the game offers makes it a reference RPG - open, mysterious, with extensive character development options, even though there is nothing innovative.

But a game doesn't have to be unique to be interesting, so if you don't have too high requirements for toys, you can easily spend many hours in this follower of "Gothic".

3. Jade Empire

When you think about bioware, the first games that come to mind are Mass Effect and dragon age, depending on your preferences - "sci-fi" or fantasy. The fact that much more people prefer these two genres ancient China is, perhaps, the main reason for the "unnoticed" Jade Empire.

Released in 2005, Jade Empire introduced many elements that are now traditional for Bioware games. Expect lots of romance, well-thought-out characters and their relationships, and plenty of dialogue that influences the opinion of others about the protagonist.
The game has a real-time combat system, during which you can pause and change the fighting style or build combos. It's fairly simple compared to the studio's previous games, making it more accessible to the general public.

Jade Empire offers absolutely unusual world and plot. One of those undeservedly forgotten games worth getting off a dusty shelf.

2 Divinity: Original Sin

In the life of any gamer, there is such a moment when you want to play an interesting co-op with a friend. I want to make decisions together, such as whether to kill or spare this or that enemy, and immerse myself in the rich atmosphere of the game together.

Divinity: Original Sin- just such a game that offers the player co-op and much, much more. The game has an excellent turn-based strategic combat system that encourages players to experiment with different combinations of attacks and tactics to see which one works best. Not easy, but worth it.

It is possible that thanks to the isometric perspective and non-standard combat system, Divinity didn't get the attention it deserved from the gaming community, but now, with the recent release Enhanced Edition time to test it out.

1. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

History surrounding Kingdoms of Amalur- one of the great tragedies of the gaming industry in recent years. Amalur was created as a new big franchise for EA, but sales were far from astronomical expectations. In combination with legal problems developer 38 Studio, it bankrupted the studio shortly after the game's release.

Amalur transports the player to the world Faelands- fabulous, rich, filled with picturesque settings and brilliantly written characters. The game successfully contrasts with the currently trending dark RPGs, also presents a nice combat system that is easy to master and customize.

Amalur is everything you would expect from RPG– and outperforms many prestige games when it comes to quality characters and compelling storytelling. The uniqueness of the game lies in the fact that it is played simultaneously as an action and RPG without any negative side effects.

Whether you want as little dialogue as possible and more combat, or vice versa to explore the world and get to know every inhabitant along the way, Amalur will satisfy your desires. EA has not abandoned the project completely, so there is a possibility that we will still be able to return to this wonderful world, which asks him to explore.

Strategies

The first genre that comes to mind when we are talking about boredom. Different people like different genres, but strategy is what allows you to escape from reality and completely immerse yourself in the process. We will start in all subsequent paragraphs with what to play on a weak computer.

  1. "Civilization". Any part of your choice. One game can last up to a day, you will not get bored with such a game.
  2. "Heroes of Might and Magic". On currently 7 parts have already been released, a lot of chronicles and additions. If you decide to study the history of this amazing world from beginning to end, it may take you more than one month.
  3. Disciples - the second part is not in vain recognized as a masterpiece. And lovers of a good schedule, you should pay attention to the third.
  4. age of wonders. Three amazing parts of the game with its unique system combat, spells and economy.

By the way, these four games are perfect if you are wondering what to play together on one computer. Step-by-step mode in all presented applications and the "hot chair" mode will allow you to make moves in turn.

New episode dedicated to the fight against alien invaders already on the enslaved and occupied planet. Judging by the game demos, the spectacle will be interesting.

Shooters

Another way to pass the evening if you have nothing to play on your computer. Unfortunately, shooters are mostly monotonous and can only interest fans of the genre. Yes, and the choice here is not very large.

BioShock, Fallout 4 and Far Cry have come out in recent years. The tasks are as simple as the world - run and shoot. This is unlikely to add variety or fun, of course. The exception, however, is Fallout, which, according to experienced players, has become a farmer and builder simulator. The game has undergone significant changes, dialogue has been shortened and new economic features have been added compared to previous parts. So experienced gamers will surely enjoy this game.

Horror

Another genre that eventually became boring to many. There are not so many novelties in this area, and the old toys have probably already been passed by many. Of course, you can recommend what to play on your computer when you are bored, but you are unlikely to have heard of these applications.

  1. Amnesia. You will come to your senses in an abandoned ancient castle, not remembering either how you got here or your identity. making my way through spooky dungeons, you will have to restore your memory piece by piece in order to get closer to solving your mystery.
  2. Outlast. A classic in a new wrapper. Mental hospital, reporter and experimental patients. You can’t call the game too scary, but it will shake the nerves of impressionable natures.
  3. For those who do not have a very powerful computer, we can recommend the game SCP:Containment breach. Wandering the dark corridors of the research center with unique, creepy and dangerous creatures, each requiring its own tactics, will make you abandon it many times... But come back again to die at the hands of a plague doctor or "sculpture".
  4. During the last year new life the classics of the horror genre also received on a personal computer - resident evil. HD Remaster of the first part and its prequel - Zero, finally came to a stationary PC, and now every player can enjoy an unforgettable feeling of the inevitability of a zombie apocalypse.
  5. However, not only reissues deserve attention. Resident Evil: Revelations 1-2 are filled with the spirit of the old parts, but at the same time they carry a particle of the new. These applications should appeal to both old-schoolers and completely new players.

Adventures

Another genre that should give players pleasure, but has fallen into an ugly monotony lately. Of course, there is something to see here, but everything gets boring over time.

  1. "Witcher". Despite its popularity, this series of games receives mixed reviews from users. Someone admires the plot and gameplay, and someone claims that the reason for its popularity is a large amount of eroticism and nudity.
  2. Assasin's Creed. A toy about which everyone is tired of the news. Many parts, but the essence of the plot always remains the same.
  3. The Elder Scrolls. A series of games better known to everyone under the name Skyrim. If you have already mastered the last part, you can be recommended to go back a little and install the third part on your computer - Morrowind, with Tribunal and Bloodmoon additions.
  4. You can also add GTA 5 to this list. However, everyone has heard about this game.

cooperative

Everything that we described above were games for one person. But solo games are not always interesting. The real pleasure is brought by those projects in which you can have fun together.

  1. We will start with the not very demanding fifth and sixth parts of the same Resident Evil. Undemanding to the characteristics of the computer, they have quite decent graphics and gameplay. A rather interesting plot will allow you to spend time together and not get bored for a couple of evenings. And additional modes will extend the pleasure for several weeks.
  2. What else can you play together on a computer? Of course, it is worth highlighting the game Left4Dead and its second part. As in the previous version, you can go through the story together with a friend or play separate modes and maps.
  3. Not bad for playing together, games of the MOBA genre are suitable. This includes the well-known Dota with League of Legend, and less popular projects, for example, the Russian Prime World.
  4. Shooting fans can indulge in such projects as Warface, CS:GO and Call of Duty.
  5. If you are against all violence, you can try out a dance game called Para Pa. Your task will be to quickly press the buttons to the music and to the beat. In the cooperative, very beautiful pair dances are obtained and quests are easier to complete, and the competition effect gives the toy more drive.

However, it's not always interesting for the two of you, especially if your partner "pulls the blanket over himself" and tries to manage everything, and you are just a doll in his hands. For such cases, there are ordinary online games where you can chat and no one will tell you what to do.

Online

Despite the fact that at the moment online games are being churned out in huge quantities, they are all carbon copies and do not differ much from each other. But even from this porridge you can always choose something to your liking.

  1. First on the list, we will put the game that got on Russian market recently. It's about Black Desert. The modern graphics and advanced economic system of this MMORPG fascinates and enthralls many players. Of the minuses, a small number of classes and high requirements for computer characteristics can be noted.
  2. Despite everything, SkyForge remains in the tops in terms of popularity. For fans of the technomagic series, this game can be a real gift. The only negative, according to players, is the need to spend a huge amount of time on dungeons in order to earn a reputation.
  3. Already fading, but still afloat, "Allods" and Perfect World may be of interest to those who have worse computers.
  4. Another series of games worthy of attention are applications of the World of... family (tanks, warplanes, warships). "Tanks", "airplanes" and "ships" will suit lovers of realism and military equipment.

Girls

Separately, we will take out this topic. Often there are questions like: "What should a girl play on a computer?" Yes, the same as the guy. We are all the same and ordinary people we like one thing. However, we have a few tips.

  1. "Nancy Drew". A series of detective games about a girl who investigates various cases. They are full of interesting puzzles that you will have to work on for more than one day.
  2. "Sims 3". A real life simulator well known to everyone.
  3. Many flash games will do. For example, the Burger Restaurant series. You play as a chef and you have to serve all the customers.
  4. "Farms", which are popular, by the way, not only among women.

But still...

If you've tried every game you can think of and you're still bored, try going outside. Or go to the cinema. There is nothing better than live entertainment, even if you are an ardent couch potato and love your computer. If you have become uninteresting and bored playing the computer, perhaps you have simply outgrown this age and this hobby, and now it's time to find a real hobby.
