THE TOP 100

Welcome to the official and definitive PC Gamer Top 100 list for 2020. This reflects the tastes and experiences of our entire team, from the big boss man all the way down to the lowliest word-grunt. We’re not claiming these are the best games of all time, mind – that’s a different list entirely. These are our recommendations for the best games to play right now, from modern smash hits to indie gems you might have missed, to retro classics that still hold up in 2020. Enjoy!

100 TEAM FORTRESS 2

RELEASED 2007 | LAST POSITION New

Phil: It’s true: Team Fortress 2 is still good. Sure, it’s 13 years old. And yes, it’s gone through many changes – from hats to matchmaking. But for all the many hero shooters released in its wake, no other multiplayer FPS offers the same pick-up-and-play hilarity of a good TF2 server. As an experimental sounding board of games-as-a-service ideas, the current TF2 is weird and baggy. As a game about nine idiot characters competing over patches of gravel, it remains a triumph.

99 HEARTHSTONE

RELEASED 2014 | LAST POSITION 90

Tim: Your view on the current state of Hearthstone depends on how you feel about three things. 1) The release of the new class: Demon Hunter. 2) How much you like super high variance cards like Dragonqueen Alexstraza. 3) Whether you play the Battlegrounds mode. I think Demon Hunter has been a success and helped refresh Standard. I’m less fond of those swing cards. And Battlegrounds is great, providing a welcome distraction when the Standard ladder looks grim.
