7. RAINBOW SIX SIEGE

One of the best FPS games on PC for online multiplayer. Siege punishes you for going in all guns blazing: instead, you need to think about your approach, and co-ordinate with your teammates.

6. HADES

Combining stunning art direction, sound and music, this twisted tour through the underworld is one of the finest rogue-likes you'll ever play. 

5. DISHONORED 2

A near-flawless assassin sim. Every level is full of lavish detail; every avenue to your target its own, perfect hit. 

4. RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2

Rockstar's epic Wild West open-world has never looked better. Playing this sandbox classic at 60fps and above on a beefy rig is transformative. 

3. INTO THE BREACH

Into the Breach’s predictability is its strength. Its rules are so clearly explained that it leaves no space for chance. A stunning slice of strategy.

2. THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT

Pairing CD Projekt Red’s excellent writing with compelling gameplay, and one of the most expansive worlds ever, this is one of the best RPGs of all time. 

1. DIVINITY: ORIGINAL SIN 2

A glorious homage to the bygone days of isometric RPGs. It takes the best bits of the classics – the branching stories, evocative writing – and mixes them with sleek modern design ideas.
