The PCGamesN Games of the Decade
We're in the last days of the 2010s. A decade is closing, and by all accounts a new console generation will be upon us by the end of next year. It feels very much like a time to reflect on the most recent epoch in gaming, and thus we present our list of the ten most important PC games of the past decade.
‘Most important’ does not mean ‘favourite’ or even necessarily ‘best’. Many of the games on this list have since been surpassed in sheer quality - in crowning Red Dead Redemption 2 our Game of the Year 2019, for instance, we argue it is Rockstar’s best game to date, exceeding GTA V’s story and its open world. But it’s not as important as GTA, which not only set a new standard for open worlds and online multiplayer sandboxes, but is officially the most profitable game of all time and is still selling like hot cakes.
Importance is influence. These are the games that others imitated, whether successfully or not. They are the games that set trends in the games industry that are still being followed today, and will continue to be followed for at least a few years into the coming generation. If you know nothing else about the ebbs and flows of game design and business, you need to know about the below.
