In terms of flexibility in gaming, no other platform can match the PC. It’s a platform with a lot of advantages for those that can overcome the often-daunting pricetag. As a bonus, while consoles require a subscription fee for online gaming, the majority of PC games have free online. Regardless, many people find the most enjoyment in offline PC games.<\/p>\n

One can spend hundreds of hours playing an offline PC game and not regret it. Whether you are someone who prefers consoles for their intuitiveness<\/a> or someone who likes PCs for their capabilities, these games are bound to surprise. If you haven’t played all these games, then we highly recommend checking them out. These are the best offline PC games to play right now.<\/p>\n

Updated August 20th, 2020 by Tanner Kinney: <\/strong>The PC market is so unbelievably massive, it’s hard to focus on which games are and aren’t worth the time. Storefronts can only do so much to try and funnel good games to the front. It’s especially hard for indie titles to gain traction unless they have a larger marketing budget or insane traction online.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, it’s still very possible to find the best of the best. Some titles are one-and-done, but wonderful; others are addictive and endlessly replayable. There are so many great games that it’s easy to leave many out. And so, we decided to add on a few more games that are worthy of being picked up.<\/em><\/p>\n

15 <\/span>Slay The Spire<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Slay the<\/em> Spire, developed by MegaCrit Games, is a rare game that creates an entire subgenre around it. This time, the name of the game is deck-building rogue-lite. The player will select one of four distinct classes and attempt to climb to the top of the Spire and destroy it. It’s a simple concept, and it’s really easy to pick up and play on any kind of PC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, each run plays wildly differently due to the draft system of the cards. There’s a ton of different synergies between cards, so the number of viable decks is massive. Plus, with the added bonuses of Relics spicing things up, it’s equally easy to get disgustingly over-powered or just fizzle out on the first act. It may take a few runs to get the hang of it, but the thrill of getting that incredible run is unmatched. This game is one that can easily absorb countless hours and is totally worth it.<\/p>\n

14 <\/span>Outer Wilds<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Space-faring games often struggle to find their footing. With a setting as vast as space itself (quite literally), it’s very easy to get bloated and miss making a solid experience. However, that’s not a problem for Outer Wilds<\/em><\/a>, a space-exploration adventure game from Mobius Digital.<\/p>\n

This title will send the player across the galaxy, stuck in a never-ending loop. It’s incredibly atmospheric and loaded with moments that are equal parts awe-inspiring and terrifying. It’s also not a game that overstays its welcome, which is much appreciated for players that want a condensed experience. Plus, now that it’s no longer exclusive to the Epic Games Store, all PC players can check it out on their preferred platform. It’s a critical darling for a reason, and absolutely worth checking out.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While early access is often a wasteland, it also holds some titles that are worth the purchase from day one. Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!, <\/em>developed by Vertigo Gaming Inc., is an early access title that was well-worth the investment.<\/p>\n

The game is, on the surface, a restaurant management game where the player has to balance cooking and serving orders for impatient customers. Early on, it’s not too intense. However, as the difficulty ramps up, it takes serious skill and timing to consistently get perfect scores. It’s a challenge, ready for those prepared to play their keyboard like a master pianist. Plus, the surprisingly deep lore is always a treat to read up on, especially for new menu items. CSD3 <\/em>is a great game to put those management skills and reflexes to the test.<\/p>\n

12 <\/span>Hades<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In a world of samey, top-down action rogue-lites, SuperGiant Games delivers an experience above any level of expectations with Hades<\/em>. It takes all of the best parts of\u00a0their previous titles and combines it with expertly crafted rogue-lite<\/a> that has no equal in its genre. As a game, it’s tough but fair, and its progression systems are incredibly rewarding. Grinding out runs is a blast on their own.<\/p>\n

However, the special part of Hades <\/em>is that the trademark storytelling of SuperGiant Games remains a strong point. As the player battles out of Hell, there’s a cast of colorful characters that have their own development over the course of the experience. Rogue-lites tend to be weaker in the narrative department, but Hades <\/em>makes sure that narrative is as finely tuned as the rest of the experience. It’s no understatement to say that this is SuperGiant’s magnum opus and worthy of a look from anyone who enjoys quality action games.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Monster Train<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Monster Train<\/em>, developed by Shiny Shoe, is a game with a lot going on under the hood. At its core, it takes a lot of inspiration from Slay the Spire<\/em>. However, this game isn’t some cheap knock-off; at times, it even surpasses Slay the Spire<\/em>, and that’s a tough bar to clear.<\/p>\n

The game differentiates itself from Spire <\/em>by taking cues from the tower defense genre. While the player still has attacks and spells at their command, the bulk of the game is recruiting and upgrading monsters to defend the pyre. As an edge on Spire<\/em>, it’s often obvious at a glance what cards will work well together. This makes it a lot easier to start building winning strategies without sinking too many hours into the game. Monster Train <\/em>is a game that will destroy the concept of time itself.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Civilization VI<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One noteworthy change to Civilization VI<\/em><\/a> is a religion condition that allows you to win the game by converting the world to your religion. As a turn-based real-time strategy game, Civilization VI<\/em> has few close competitors.\u00a0Raising a civilization from the feudal ages to the modern era is too fun in Civilization VI<\/em>. The game can be played offline for competitive matches against smart AI. Civilization VI<\/em> has relatively low requirements compared to other leading PC games. This is one game you can’t miss!<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Divinity: Original Sin II<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

From the same developer as Baldur’s Gate<\/em><\/a> comes Divinity: Original Sin II.<\/em> At first glance,\u00a0Divinity: Original Sin II<\/em> appears to take after games like Diablo 3<\/em>, yet it is so much more than a loot-based game.\u00a0Divinity: Original Sin II<\/em> masterfully incorporates RPG elements<\/a> that blend well with its turn-based combats. The scale of the game is massive. Dialogue is engaging and most players can find something to appreciate in the game. Using a controller<\/a> is easy and straightforward with this offline PC<\/a> game. It’s a must-have PC RPG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The expansive world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em><\/a> gives us pause. We can’t help but be overwhelmed by the scale of the world outside the main story. This is a game where you can log hundreds of hours <\/a>without diminishing its quality. The enemy, weapon, and town variety makes the game a masterpiece. As an offline-only game, what it does it does perfectly. There is no need for online as it would only take away from the game. If you only play one role-playing game this year, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em> is a solid choice.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Dead Cells<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This overlooked gem is a roguelike-metroidvania that in some ways is comparable to the Dark Souls<\/em><\/a> series. Players will have to combat fierce enemies while avoiding the obstacles of the game. Falling in a pit of spikes can be frustrating, which is why not everyone will appreciate Dead Cells<\/em><\/a>. Before you play Dead Cell<\/em>s, it’s worth noting that the game is very unforgiving. Dying in the game forces you to start over from the beginning.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/em> is the winner of over fifty awards and nominations. The title of the game not only sounds catchy but also describes its gameplay. Players have two lives in\u00a0Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/em>. Two lives may give the impression that the game is easy\u2014but guess again. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/em> is one of the most challenging games of the decade. Boss fights will take multiple attempts<\/a>, even if you’re well-versed in the Dark Souls<\/em> series. From Software has cemented themselves in the industry for creating the hottest new sub-genre known as the Souls genre.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>BioShock: The Collection<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Neatly packaged in one collection is the BioShock<\/em> trilogy remastered and primed to play. The BioShock<\/em> franchise is considered one of the greatest in gaming. Its refined gameplay mechanics combined with its story that twists and turns make it a must-play offline PC game. With villains like Andrew Ryan in the original BioShock<\/em> and\u00a0Zachary Hale Comstock in BioShock Infinite<\/em>, there is plenty of subject matter to keep players enthralled. According to nytimes.com,<\/a> approximately two-hundred people worked on BioShock Infinite<\/em>.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Doom (2016)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Doom (2016)<\/em> is arguably the best attempt at a reimagining of the Doom<\/em><\/a> franchise. The fast-paced combat combined with brutal kills is a first-person shooter game at its finest. The single-player\u00a0campaign could be the highlight of Doom.<\/em> The game is set on the planet Mars, which is too freaking cool.<\/p>\n

Now that Doom Eternal<\/em>, the sequel to Doom,<\/em> is on the verge of releasing, we couldn’t be more ecstatic. According to\u00a0pcgamer.com,<\/a> “We learned that there will be five playable demons: the Revenant, Pain Elemental, Mancubus, Arch-vile, and Marauder. There are six maps at launch, but more maps and demons will be added for free later on.”<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Dark Souls III<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Developer FromSoftware proved for the third time in a row that they know how to make action-adventure role-playing games. Sure, there have been spinoffs like Bloodborne<\/em> and\u00a0Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/em>, but those would not have existed if it weren’t for Dark Souls<\/em>. Dark Souls II<\/em>I is slightly more fast-paced than its predecessors. Boss fights, however, are just as grueling and unforgiving. Dark Souls III<\/em> is recommended for experienced gamers\u00a0because of its difficulty level. Yet for those willing to grind it out, Dark Souls III<\/em> can be outrageously\u00a0entertaining.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Portal<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Believe it or not, Valve isn’t just the owner of the Steam<\/a> storefront. The\u00a0Valve Corporation\u00a0is also known for creating instant classics like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive,<\/a> Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress<\/em>, and Half-Life 2<\/em>. Portal<\/em><\/a> is one of the few Valve Corporation games that is single-player. Although Portal 2<\/em> has online co-op<\/a>, the story was more intriguing in the first Portal.<\/em> The game is very polished and is fun from start to end. The objective is to solve a series of puzzles while being directed by\u00a0GLaDOS, an advanced AI. Even though Portal<\/em> released in 2007, the game feels like it hasn’t aged a day.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fans of the series are eagerly waiting for The Elder Scrolls VI<\/em><\/a> since the series is arguably at its best when it’s offline single player. The Elder Scrolls Online<\/em> has a sizeable fan base, but the difference between\u00a0The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/em><\/a> and The Elder Scrolls Online<\/em> is night and day.\u00a0The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/em> is one of the best games of all time because of its immersive quests,<\/a> beautiful landscapes, and enemy variety. The game regenerates quests, so there is virtually no end to the game.<\/p>\n
