Quite a good list, although without any real surprises, except for the cheeky inclusion of a recent fan-made PC port. I’m glad Kerbal Space Program is on it, but a few other personal favorites (and candidates for best game of all time) are absent, like The Talos Principle, BeamNG.drive, NEO Scavenger, World of Goo, Mafia, Machinarium and Gothic II. Jets’n’Guns - a very early Indie masterpiece of a 2D space shooter - as well, but it’s a bit too obscure for these kinds of lists. I’ll stop here before I accidentally create my own top 100.

Are your favorite PC games well-represented by this list?

    They set a rule that only one game from a series can be on the list. Half-Life 2 probably just beat 1 in the very subjective scoring.

      Nah - Doom (DOS): and Doom Eternal are on there, as are Baldur’s Gates 2 and 3.

        True. They did mention Doom and Doom: Eternal as being different enough to warrant both. Don’t think that is true for BG2 and BG3 though
