Introduction
Over the past 10 years, we've seen countless amazing gems across innovative indie games through big budget AAA blockbusters. From what we experienced through these years, we found that many developers stop at nothing short of fantastic and tries to exceed the expectations of the people with each new title. They offer us variety of choices from First Person Shooters to Real Time Strategies and Adventure Games making sure that no gamer is left in the void when it comes to their favorite genre.
The real question that pops up right now is that with so many great games made available for PC during the last decade which ones really stand out from the rest of the pack? A lifetime would not be enough to sort through them and to save you that trouble we have made a list of our recommended games on PC over the last 10 years and ranked them in order. The rankings on this list are subjective but each game here is excellent and selected from the most diverse gaming platform, i.e PC and released across the years from 2006 to 2016.
