With graphics tech as advanced as it is now, players are typically more focused on art and design than, gasp, mirrors that actually have reflections in them. Not that the former is a bad focus for criticism at all—there's much more to say about it—but it was fun to gawk at screenshots in magazines, amazed by such miracles as curves and faces that almost look like faces. All that in mind, the PC Gamer staff share the games that made their eyes bulge the most at the time of it's release.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
Like the film or television industry, the world of gaming has seen its fair share of reboots over the years. While some of these video game reboots have had
A tie between Uncharted 4, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and God of War.
Next will be between Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us: Part 2, and Death Stranding.
Halo: CE, Gears of War, Crysis & Uncharted 2 blew me away the first time I played them. I have played many pretty games this gen, but none have given me that "holy crap these graphics" feeling that earlier games did likely due to the increasingly slower progression of game graphics.
Uncharted 4, Gears, Crysis, Saint's Row (first 360 game and had just played through San Andreas), God of War 2018.
Breath of the Wild also blew me away, but not because of raw graphics. The art style is just really gorgeous, YouTube doesn't do the game justice.
