Gaming has evolved a lot since the beginning of this millenium. I still remember playing pixelated video games of the 90's, admiring them and I couldn't wait to get home from school, relax on the sofa and start playing them with a controller in hand. With the dawn of 2000's, in-game graphics looked prettier than ever before, online gaming has started becoming a thing and purchasing physical game discs cost a fortune from our meagre pocket money. By 2010's, games have widely gone digital for purchases, touchscreens on smartphone devices opened a new era for the booming platform and virtual reality is already here for gaming and growing in popularity.

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 last decade.

Note:

• Only original titles were ranked, individual expansion packs won't be included in the list
• This list includes games released from 2000 to 2019
• It was intentional to avoid listing multiple titles from a game series
• Only games that natively run on Windows O.S are included and ranked for PC. 
• All the games mentioned in the list are commercial and require license keys to play
• If you think any worthy contender haven't been mentioned,  do let me know in the comments section
