1. Fallout 4

It’s Fallout. ‘Nuff said.

Well, okay, perhaps you’ve never played any of the post-apocalyptic Fallout games and need some convincing.

How about an enormous, painstakingly detailed open world that’s been ravaged by global nuclear war? The remnants of a retro-futuristic culture that effortlessly merges 1950s America with crazy technology such as giant robots, laser rifles, cloning, and genetic engineering? Hundreds of quests revolving around the world’s unusual mix of denizens, from friendly zombies to Hulk-like mutants? Moral choices that shape the world around you?

Fallout 4 will include all these concepts and introduce new ones such as base-building, complex armor and crafting systems, and more. Not to mention this time, your cute canine companion Dogmeat can’t die!

We can also expect the return of the excellent combat system that lets you switch between first and third-person views, as well as more exciting abilities that you can learn as you level up.

We’re confident Fallout 4 will be one of the best new PC games this year!

Honorable Mentions

The excellent Grand Theft Auto V was released this year for the PC, but technically, the game first came out in 2013, so it’s not exactly new anymore.

Everyone agrees Batman: Arkham Knight is an incredible game, but its PC version is currently broken. Let’s hope they fix those problems, soon!

Of course everyone is waiting for StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void. Unfortunately, there’s a possibility it might not even be released this year, but early next year.
