PC GAEMS FROM 2015-2021
Picture	Title 	Genre 	Description 	Where To Buy
 	Apotheon 	Action-Platformer 	Stylish Greek-themed action game with a unique "Greek-vase-style" art direction and fast-paced action all through. 	GOG
 	Bayonetta 	Action-Adventure / Hack n' Slash 	Crazy over the top 3D action, kinda like Devil May Cry with a super hot witch babe as the hero. Lotsa gore and sexiness. Excellent porting, runs beautifully even on toasters. 	HumbleSteam
 	Blacksea Odyssey 	Roguelike, Asteroids 	Hunt space creatures with your harpoon and anchor and rip their limbs to weaken them! Controls seem weird but you get used to them. You can get a free demo on Steam. 	Steam
 	Broforce 	Platformer 	Testosterone: the video game! They got all the great heroes from the manliest action movies ever, and put them together in a crazy tough 2D platformer where pretty much everything is explodable. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Caladrius Blaze 	Shoot'em Up 	Raiden with anime girls Amazing shmup by Moss which finally got a western release. Made by Moss, so it bears a few similarities with Raiden (one of the characters can even use the toothpaste laser), but it has it's it's own unique gameplay style. Tons of characters to play, difficult but fair challenge, excellent soundtrack and art style. The girls also gets their clothes torn off when their ships explode (no joking). 	GOG
 	Cities: Skylines 	Simulation 	Love Sim City? Looking for something that was not ruined by developer incompetence and publisher greed? Say no more. 	Steam
 	Cuphead 	Run 'n Gun 	Boss Rush: The Game!
Cuphead and Mugman lost a bet with The Devil, now they must search and fight all of his debtors or else they'll lose their souls! A stylish and balls hard run and gun styled after the classic cartoons from the 30's. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Darius Burst: Chronicle Saviours 	Shoot'em Up 	The ultimate Darius package, for Darius and Shmup fans alike! It has two modes of play, AC Mode and CS Mode. AC mode is a direct port of the Arcade game Darius Burst: Another Chronicle EX, massive resolution and all, while the CS mode is where the bulk of the game is. You pick from missions on a map, which consists of playing through a sequence of stages, which when beaten unlock more missions, branching into various directions. There are 9 different ships to choose, including ships based on the previous games of the series. 	Steam
 	Doom 	Rip & Tear Simulator 	After being in development hell for over 8 years, it's a miracle this game actually turned out anything more than half-decent, let alone be the gaming masterpiece it actually is. Doom 2016 is a glorious return to form for the seminal FPS series, with fast paced movement, sprawling non-linear levels, the ability to hold every gun at all times, swarms of demons that actually pose a threat, weapon mods that provide alt fire, and an awesome new metal soundtrack (the lead instrument for the theme song is a goddamned chainsaw). Basically, this is the game that Doom 3 should have been. Don't buy this for multiplayer though, as nobody cares about it and is DOA. 	Steam
 	Dragon Ball FighterZ 	Fighting 	A super fast-paced fighter (think Marvel vs Capcom) with Dragon Ball Z/Super characters, excellent even if you're not a fan of Dragon Ball. Takes some pages from Guilty Gear Xrd, using the same 3D-styled graphics made to look like 2D sprites. Story mode is what you'd expect from fighting games these days but the character interactions are surely entertaining. 	Steam
 	Evoland 2: A Slight Case of Space-Time Continuum Disorder	Action-RPG 	An epic nostalgia trip through the various eras of gaming in a awesome action-RPG full of unique bosses, missions and mini-games which play in different genres (fighting, shmup, strategy, puzzle and even rhythm). The first game is fine, but very short. 	GOG
 	Final Fantasy IV: The After Years 	RPG 	A fully 3D remake of the WiiWare game. Any tale you unlock after the prologue can be played in any order, similar to Live-A-Live. The Chrono Trigger-esque Band system is slightly altered from the original FF4TAY. Playing FF4 before this is recommended, but not mandatory. However, there is a FF4PC save bonus, in the form of Tails (hint hint) There are no classic FF bosses in this version (replaced by recolored FF4 bosses with new skillsets), no multiplayer like WiiWare, and no challenge dungeons. That said, the challenge dungeon equipment can be bought in the final chapter. If you prefer the extra content, stick with the PSP/WW version. 	Steam
 	Final Fantasy Type-0 HD 	 	Imagine Crisis Core but better, with 14 different playable characters, playable summons, a world map, chocobo breeding and a fantastic story. The gameplay is difficult and will kill you if you get careless, but is fun and faster than Crisis Core because less "slot machine" bullshit. Much, MUCH, bloodier, gorier and violent than the previous Final Fantasy games. Has updated graphics compared to the PSP version, as well as the option to change the voices to English (very shitty dub) or Japanese, no multiplayer (as if anyone cared about it), an exclusive alternate ending, and an updated soundtrack. The translation is somewhat spotty, so the PSP version may actually be a better pick.	Steam
 	Football Manager 2016 	Sports/Simulation 	Do you suffer from severe autism? Then this game is for you! Create your own manager and manage football clubs from all around the world. It's a good game with very deep and complex gameplay, but it's the best football simulator. It also has a big community of modders; just don't expect good graphics! 	
 	Ghost Blade HD 	Shmup 	A cool manic shooter, originally released on the Dreamcast, with some solid indie pedigree: the producer and the programmer of Pier Solar, plus the designer and the composer of Last Hope. Their main inspiration is distinctly - or even shamelessly - Cave's DonPachi series. Gorgeous highly detailed backgrounds and nice electronic soundtrack. Very enjoyable, but perhaps a bit on the short and easy side. 	Steam
 	Granblue Fantasy: Versus 	Fighting/RPG 	A new game in the Granblue Fantasy universe, available on Steam! This fantasy game blends fighting game action and RPG-style adventure. Throw yourself into matches or enjoy powering up your characters! 	Steam
 	Grim Dawn 	Action-RPG 	The spiritual successor to Titan Quest. For fans of Titan Quest, much of its main systems have return in Grim Dawn. Instead of having fixed classes like Diablo, you'll choose 2 masteries that will give you skills in order to survive. You are free to mix and match from all available masteries; if you want to be a magic user who can also bash enemies with shields, feel free. 	Steam
 	Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator 	Fighting 	Hands down one of the best-looking fighting games ever, a rocking soundtrack, and the same sweet GGX gameplay as ever. Revelator expands on the roster from Sign, and improves the netcode. 	Steam
 	Iconoclasts 	Platformer/Metroidvania 	Made by Konjak, the guy behind the Noitu Love games. While inspired by Metroid, the game plays more like a Monster World title, with more focus on the action and light puzzle elements, as well as the story. Absolutely beautiful pixel art and solid gameplay, Konjak definitely knows what he's doing. 	GOG
 	Inside 	Puzzle-Platformer 	From the same developers of Limbo, it looks and plays much like it's predecessor but adds a few new tricks like mind-controlling people on the background to move objects and such. 	GOG
 	Mega Man 11 	Platformer 	Mega Man returns after a long hiatus on his first 2.5D adventure! Introduces the Double Gear system, which allows to temporarily power up Mega Man's attacks or to slow down time, with the entire game designed after these new abilities, with the tried and true challenging but fair difficulty of the series. 	
 	Mother Russia Bleeds 	Beat'em Up 	Had enough of games made by capitalist pigs? So how about a cool beat'em up set in glorious mother Russia? Choose your comrade to unveil a biological conspiracy and beat the shit off of ugly mutants. Tons of pixellated blood and gore and a super gritty atmosphere. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Odallus: The Dark Call 	Platformer 	The tale of a warrior who must find why his village was burned, find his missing son and uncover the secrets of a mysterious gem. A excellent retro-styled platformer inspired by Demon's Crest. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Ōkami HD 	Action-RPG 	A curse haunts the land, and it's up to Amaterasu, the sun goddess reincarnated as a white wolf, to fight the demons behind it! Okami is pretty much Zelda in a fantasy medieval Japan setting; pretty much all characters and events are references to Shinto mythology, and even the graphics style is based on traditional sumi-e painting. It's easy to see why it is always mentioned when people discuss "are games art".
Note: due to licensing issues, the beautiful ending song was replaced in the Western release. See this thread for a mod to restore it. 	HumbleSteam
 	Overload 	FPS/sim 	The legit spiritual successor to Descent, from many of the original team. The same delicious labyrinthine design, only with modern visuals. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Owlboy 	Platformer 	A game that's been 10 years on the making, with a fantastic art direction and deeply emotional plot. Gameplay takes some time getting used to, since you control two chraracters at the same time, the titular owlboy and a gunner. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Planet Coaster 	Simulation 	Love RollerCoaster Tycoon? Looking for something that wasn't ruined by developer incompetence and publisher greed? Say no more. 	Steam
 	Project Wingman 	Flight Combat 	Essentially an Ace Combat fan game made by a small team. While it doesn't quite have the same levels of melodrama as a typical Ace Combat plotline, it does have the high-octane plane action and gorgeous visuals one expects from the original series. Also comes with a rogue-like conquest mode. 
Also released digitally for Xbox One and later re-released as a PSVR2 game. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Rabi-Ribi 	Metroidvania/Bullet Hell/LSD/Bunnies	A game with bunnies! A super-kawaii metroidvania where the girls want to cuddle bunnies very hard. You play a bunnygirl and her pixie partner and have a huge world to explore, with tons of secrets to uncover which unlock new abilities. Also bunnies! Boss battles play more akin to bullet-hell shmups, with tons of bullets and seizure-inducing effects everywhere. Have I said this game has bunnies? 	Steam
 	Raiden V: Director's Cut 	Shoot 'em Up 	The newest entry in the Raiden series, which despite bad initial impressions by shmupfags proves it is a worthy successor to the classic titles.
Despite the "Director's Cut" in the title this is the exact same game as the Xbox One version. 	GOG
 	Rez Infinite 	Rail shooter / rhythm 	Eden, the world's most advanced artificial intelligence, is about to crash under the weight of too much knowledge. You are a computer virus whose task is to fight past her defenses to force a reboot. Remake of the Dreamcast cult classic, with improved graphics, an extra area, and support for VR devices. It's absolutely gorgeous and trippy: everything is timed to the music, and your actions become notes and beats, creating a synaesthetic spectacle. 	Steam
 	River City Ransom Underground 	Beat 'em Up 	A new sequel to the Kunio-Kun series, this one is actually a direct follow-up to the NES title. In this one you can choose between various characters and must explore the streets of River City while beating up the street gangs and upgrading your arsenal of moves. 	GOG
 	Shadow Warrior 2 	FPS 	Five years after Enra's death, the human world is corrupted and demons now live openly among us. Lo Wang is hired to rescue a mafia boss' kidnapped daughter, but Zilla does some crazy science on her and shit gets kind of complicated. SW2 keeps the gory dark humor and fast gun+sword action of the first game, but the linear levels are dropped for open multi-layered stages, a more acrobatic moveset, RPG-lite elements, and co-op. This allows for a lot of freedom while slicing and dicing bad guys, although it can make the game feel a bit unfocused. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Shantae and the Pirate's Curse 	Platformer 	The best game on the series so far, and basically what Risky's Revenge should have been. Shantae has lost her powers and now must ally herself with her rival Risky Boobs Boots to save her town and recover her powers. 	GOG
 	Shantae: Half-Genie Hero 	Platformer 	Crowdfunded sequel to Pirate's Curse, with a new art direction and gorgeous full HD graphics. Shantae now has tons of new transformations, which leads to quite a bit of backtracking and the story is a bit disjointed compared to previous titles, but it still keeps the with the excellent action of the series. 	Steam
 	Shenmue I & II 	Adventure 	Japan, 1986: be a young jujitsu fighter, investigate your dad's murder. Originally on the Dreamcast, Shenmue is a somewhat slow-paced but amazingly detailed adventure with a combat system that's straight outta Virtua Fighter! This version adds widescreen support and language choice. 	HumbleSteam
 	Sine Mora EX 	Shoot'em Up 	A unique shmup with a dark atmosphere whose gameplay revolves around slowing time to make it through stages. Instead of lives, you have a timer which slowly counts down and getting hit depletes even more time, so skillful use of the time slow is essential. The EX re-release fixes the resolutions while adding a few new options. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island 	3D Platformer 	An indie 3D platformer developed by four sweedish bois. It takes a lot of inspiration from games like Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank. A great entry in this colect-a-thon genre, even though it could be polished a little more.
Easy to get to 100% on Steam Achievements. 	Steam
 	Sonic Mania Plus 	Platformer 	To put it simply, this is the Sonic game everyone have been waiting for almost 20 years! It features a mix of classic levels redesigned with new bells and whistles as well as completely new levels.
Now with Mighty and Ray from that isometric Sonic Arcade game on their own special mode. 	Steam
 	Spark the Electric Jester 	Platformer 	You're a jester who got fired after they got a robot to do your job. But wait, the robots have all gone nuts and are attacking the people! From the maker of the "Sonic Sequel" series, this is a mashup / loving tribute to the great mascot platformers of the Mega Drive era. Fantastic sprite work, cool music, and some massive levels. 	Steam
 	Stardew Valley 	Simulation 	You like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing? This game is for you. Get a farm. Start growing plants. Cry when you realize you planted summer plants in the spring. Make friends with your fellow neighbors. Try to marry some of them. Spend all your energy harvesting wheat and fall asleep on the ground at 2 PM. Nobody said farming would be easy, right?
For those truly hardcore Harvest Moon players who are still in doubt, let it be known that Yasuhiro Wada, the creator himself, personally gave Stardew Valley his blessing and even said it went the direction Harvest Moon should've gone. 	Steam
 	Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition 	Fighting 	This is it, Street Fighter V the way it should've been at launch. It only took Capcom two bloody years, eh? All characters from the first two seasons come unlocked from the start and it adds a HUGE arcade mode, perfect for the players who don't care about playing online.
If you were stupid enough to buy the vanilla version it will automatically update to this for free, thankfully. 	
 	Tekken 7 	Fighting 	You probably know what this is by now. One of the best 3D fighter franchises on the market, and finally on the PC. Story mode is somewhat lacking despite the 24GB of cutscenes, but the core gameplay is as solid as ever, making it a surprisingly good introduction to the franchise. 	Steam
 	The King of Fighters XIV: Steam Edition 	Fighting 	One of the greatest fighting game series is back! The series went full 3D, but keeping with the traditional 2D gameplay from previous entries 2.5D and with 50 selectable characters right out of the gate without any DLC bullshit. 	Steam
 	The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 	RPG 	Picking up from where the Trails in the Sky trilogy left, with new powerful nations rising while old ones fall. Definitely much more verbose, it keeps with the same combat system from the old titles while adding some new stuff. 	GOG
 	The Messenger 	Platformer 	A ninja village is attacked by demons, and the fate of the world lies upon you being able to deliver a message. This game is very clearly inspired by good old Ninja Gaiden, but it adds some new moves, Metroid-like exploration, and some humorous writing to keep things fresh. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	The Mummy Demastered 	Metroidvania 	Great metroidvania by WayForward, loosely based on that awful Tom Cruise movie. You play as a generic spec-ops soldier, and when you die your corpse becomes a zombie so when you load the game you're playing as another soldier who then must kill the now zombified soldier to retrieve all the gear you collected. 	GOG
 	The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt 	Open World Action RPG 	You are Geralt of Rivia, a witcher - that is, a monster hunter and mercenary. Travel around the world, helping or hindering others, while fighting the mysterious army known only as "Wild Hunt". While combat may vary in enjoyability from person to person, the real hook is the story: you have 50 hours worth of gameplay, and that's from the side missions alone. Worth a try just to see how much love CD Projekt RED puts in its games. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Transformice 	MMO platformer 	You play as mice trying to get cheese into their hole. However, stages are hell-bent on killing you. Luckily, the Shaman player will help (i.e. troll) you with magic. 	Steam
 	Undertale 	RPG 	If you've managed to avoid the annoying-as-hell fandom, this is absolutely worth checking out. A bullet hell-esque battle system that likes to switch things up during boss fights, an amazing soundtrack (fucking MEGALOVANIA, man), likable and well-written characters, and a narrative that, while nothing special on the story side of things, is incredibly well-executed... this just has a lot going for it. 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action 	Visual Novel/Simulation 	Sort of a mix between visual novel with bartending sim with visuals inspired by PC-98 games, you serve drinks while listening to the clients stories, all while taking care of your own life. The history actually changes depending on whether you serve clients well or mess up, as they may grow attached to you and reveal more about the world. 	GOG
 	Vanquish 	TPS 	A fast-paced, arcade-esque shooter by Shinji Mikami and developed by Platinum Games. A cheesy America vs. Russia story serves as the backdrop for this fun, visually stylish game that penalizes you for taking cover too often and is all about racking up points. Its power-sliding mechanic is already being copied by every important upcoming shooter. Its greatest shortcoming is probably its cumbersome ammo aquisition system, but it's still a total blast. The story is hard to follow, even harder to care about. 	HumbleSteam
 	Wild Guns Reloaded 	Rail shooter 	Shoot bad hombres and bad robots in the old west. Updated re-release of the SNES cult classic, with new characters, extra levels, arranged soundtrack, improved graphics, and local 4-player mode. 	Steam
 	Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap 	Platformer 	An amazing remake of the amazing Master System classic with beautiful, hand-drawn animations and a re-orchestrated soundtrack! 	GOGHumbleSteam
 	Yatagarasu: Attack on Cataclysm 	Fighting 	An indie fighter by former SNK devs, the game got significantly expanded thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, getting more characters, a full story and english translation. 	Steam
 	Yooka-Laylee 	Platformer 	A N64 style "Collectathon" Platformer made as a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie by the same team! If you loved those games, chances are you'll like this one too. If not, then it simply isn't for you. (FYI, If anyone you talk to about this game brings up JonTron, don't ask. It's a long story...)
Also, STEER CLEAR OF THE PS4 AND XBONE PORTS! THEY WERE MADE BY AN OUTSOURCED DEVELOPER AND IT SHOWS! 	Steam
GOG
 	Ys SEVEN 	Action-RPG 	In Ys Seven you always travel in a party of three and can switch characters on the fly. Each character has either a slash, pierce, or smash attack type, each type being effective against certain types of enemies. The game is surprisingly damn long and features an excellent soundtrack. This PC port features HD graphics and a revised localization compared to the original PSP version. 	GOG
