Five PC Games You Need to Try In 2021: You Will Be Happy You Did: #1 – Valheim
When talking about PC games that have took the world by storm, it would be impossible to not mention Valheim. This survival Viking adventure has managed to retain a concurrent player base of over 500K players on Steam since launch. The gameplay is absolutely captivating, the world is expansive with tones of areas to explore and in terms of multiplayer fun, there are few games that can match this game this year.

Five PC Games You Need to Try In 2021: You Will Be Happy You Did: #2 – WoW: Shadowlands
Next up we have WoW’s latest expansion, Shadowlands. It almost seems like cheating putting an expansion pack on this list but when you look at the masses of content and detail that has been packed into this release, we think it’s more than justified. This expansion allows players to explore the much talked about Shadowlands spoken of in Warcraft lore. Plus, new quests, new races and most importantly, new gear. So whether you’ve been out of the game for a while or if you’re a WoW aficionado, there is something here for everyone.
Five PC Games You Need to Try In 2021: You Will Be Happy You Did: #3– Outriders
When someone says ‘looter shooter’ the mind almost immediately jumps to Destiny or Borderlands. However, it seems we have a new IP that has thrown it’s hat into the ring, and may we say, it’s a fine hat indeed. Outriders offers fun combat mechanics, an outstanding and rewarding progression system, wonderfully released worlds and surprisingly a very deep plotline which most games within the genre are lacking. So if you want a looter shooter with a little more depth and nuance, we suggest you try this newcomer.
Five PC Games You Need to Try In 2021: You Will Be Happy You Did: #4 –The Kingdom Hearts Series
This may be a little confusing as this series has been around since 2001. However, only as of March this year has the Kingdom Hearts series been available on PC. Square Enix has finally decided to provide PC ports for all their best Kingdom Hearts titles. Allowing the PC gaming community to witness the Disney meets Final Fantasy madness in all its glory. You’ll be able to play the newest installments such as Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory or Kingdom Hearts III. Or alternatively, you could hit the more retro titles like the original Kingdom Hearts or perhaps Chain of Memories. The choice is yours, so choose wisely.
Five PC Games You Need to Try In 2021: You Will Be Happy You Did: #5 – Buddy Simulator 1984
Then lastly, we have a wild card entry with a game that is very much a hidden gem. Buddy Simulator 1984 is an unsettling, humorous and meta game which takes inspiration from games like Earthbound and Under tale to create a game which mere words simply cannot do justice. The game grows and adjusts as the player progresses and tells a tale that is dystopian, unnerving and will have you questioning everything you know about AI in gaming. If this sounds like your cup of tea then give it a try, we assure you, you won’t be disappointed.
