PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
Released: 2017 | Developer: PUBG Corp. 

 

100 murderous hopefuls skydive onto an abandoned island, grab whatever weapons and ammo they can find, and fight to the death. Rinse and repeat. Though the concept wasn't new (PlayerUnknown himself is responsible for multiple battle royale modes and mods), PUBG made the battle royale genre into the phenomenon that it is today. As a third- or first-person shooter, PUBG is more realistic and less arcadey than Fortnite. The joy of it is how it forces players to move and take risks as an ever-shrinking forcefield funnels surviving players toward each other until a winner climbs out of the wreckage. Every instant of every game is a flood of important decisions to make, and any one of them—even a minor one—could lead to your doom. 

Battlefield 1
Released: 2016 | Developer: DICE

 

The World War 1 setting let DICE cut down on the vast customisation offered by Battlefield 4, resulting in a tighter, more action-oriented shooter that still features all of the spectacle the series is known for. Each round of BF1 is a cacophonous mix of action and tactical maneuvering, elevated by DICE's peerless sound design. Everything from the ping of your bolt-action rifle to the thunderous roar of a tank sounds amazing, and helps create panic and tension throughout. In terms of sheer, chaotic, player-driven spectacle, Battlefield is the best.

Grand Theft Auto 5
Released: 2015 | Developer: Rockstar

 

GTA 5 runs beautifully on PC, and its open world is still the best of any game, a gorgeous sprawl that replicates everything we associate with Los Angeles: the flat heat, the atmosphere, the fact that the city is so damn big. The campaign is the series' best ever, punctuated by ambitious heist missions involving all three protagonists. It's a lot of fun to spend time in this world.
If you want to take things further, GTA Online is waiting for you with an absolute ton of stuff to do. Not all of it is amazing, but with a few friends, it's great fun to knock through the Online mode's bespoke heists, and owning a business feels pretty cool too. There are plenty of ways to play this game forever, including all of these great mods.

 

Assassin's Creed: Origins
Released: 2017 | Developer: Ubisoft Montreal  

The prequel to the entire Assassin's Creed series is also one of the best games in the series. Set in Egypt during the time of Greek and Roman influence, the open world of Origins is staggering both in size and beauty, an amazingly detailed sandbox filled with bustling cities and towns, fertile farmlands and vast barren deserts, rocky mountain peaks and shining seas. It's a wondrous place to explore and discover.
Combat is an improvement over earlier Creed games, and you're given a host of enjoyable tools and weapons that allow you to slink, slither, and stab your way through the world. Bayek is one of the strongest characters Ubisoft has created, and even after all these years of Creed games, witnessing the birth of the Assassins is a real thrill.
