I'm loving Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition, it's enough like DnD for an autistic minmaxer like me to be able to enjoy. Doom is actually incredible, Freeze Tag has never been more fun. Overwatch is a good party game that is surprisingly well optimized so even my poor friends can play casuals and enjoy it.
Other than those, all of them being multiplat, I can't think of any that come to mind. MHO is good if you are an autistic MonHun fan. There aren't any good MMO's otherwise, really.
Halo Online is good when you can find a full game but it's all redditfags.

STALKER was pretty life changing (skip Clear Sky).

It's old now, but Minecraft is technically at its best on PC. Take from that what you will.

Alien Isolation was great with headphones and runs like a god damn dream.

Factorio if you're into that sort of game, it's one of the most underrated gems out there right now.

Any of the Witcher games. You can technically start at any of the games, go with whichever appeals the most to you. You can always go back and play older ones if you feel like you missed out.

DOOM is amazing, and plays the best with a mouse and keyboard.

Loads of action RPGs. It comes down to personal preference, but most people seem to agree that Diablo 3, Torchlight 2, Grim Dawn, and Path of Exile are each good in their own ways. Even that Van Helsing game is pretty good.

Remember that you bought a PC, not a console. The benefit isn't one or two games, its the choice between thousands (on top of mods).

Some high quality titles on PC. Please note that not all of them are demanding games that will show off the power of your rig if you're yearning to do so. They are merely games I consider to be high quality that are on PC that I think you should try:
>Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
>Devil May Cry 4
>DmC: Devil May Cry
>Killer Is Dead
>Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
>Danganronpa 2: Goodbye, Despair
>Cave Story+
>Freedom Planet
>Portal
>Portal 2
>Undertale
>Final Fantasy VII
>Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
>Valkyria Chronicles
>Resident Evil 4
>Resident Evil Revelations
>Resident Evil Revelations 2
>Alien Isolation
>Skullgirls
>Dust: An Elysian Tail
I might also recommend emulating some games to see what playing on your rig can do in comparison to your previous console gaming:
>Final Fantasy XII
>Xenoblade Chronicles
Are especially good starters for this.

Thief Gold

The Witcher
The Witcher 2
The Witcher 3
Dishonored

Some random ones that could have made the list:
Dragon Age Origins - isn't completely made obsolete by the Witcher due to interesting party management mechanic
WoW - obligatory best current mmo
Starcraft II - obligatory best current rts

>>Devil May Cry 4
>>DmC: Devil May Cry
>>Killer Is Dead

I'm sorry I didn't even plan to shitpost but putting MGR on top is asking for it.
Yes it's fine but it's literally tie-in tier. It's the first cheap platinum game and a far cry from bayonetta and vanquish. DMC is a waste of time compared to 1-3 from the collection. And KiD is Suda leftovers, his only decent game in years was Shadow of the Damned.

Fuck it, PC only mustard racers depress me. You get second rate shit and you make a deal out of it.

>comparing a 2007 game to pre-1998 ones where the technology limited what developers could do
Sounds like you're just setting your expectations low for some reason.

>no one cares about gameplay in a RPG
Well you just have shit taste. I'm playing Legend of Grimrock right now and despite simple the combat shits all over Witcher 1's. Many RPGs have better gameplay than Witcher 1, even turn based ones feel more engaging than Witcher 1.
I didn't even play any other Witcher games because 1 bored me to death.

You really should tho. The Witcher 2 is great and the Witcher 3 even better. But being honest, if I had started with The Witcher 1 I would not have played the next ones.
>>
>>343938817
LoG's combat isn't spamming mouseclick, there's an element of positioning around, watching out to not get cornered, and so on. Witcher 1 combat is hit, watch the prompt for another click. I didn't even play for more than one hour, I was numb from how boring it was.

The order had nothing to do with level of quality anon. I just put Metal Gear Rising at the top since that was the first thing I thought of that I thought was pretty great. The only other easily accessible Metal Gear games on PC are a lot worse in my opinion, so I didn't want to recommend them. Also I'd argue Killer is Dead is a great game. Its not perfect, but the weird style of it all along with the extremely fast paced challenging combat alone make it worth it.

Also please refrain from platform war shitposting.

I heard DMC4's port was great though. You sure you aren't thinking of DMC3's port?

And yeah, I think DmC is a good game. I like how environments change as you move through them, and how there's a wide variety of enemies that you have to utilize different tactics to take down. I like the weapon variety and huge amount of abilities you can upgrade to and get, and I find the game graphically gorgeous. I also really like the metal soundtrack, and find the retarded story to be Hollywood-esque in presentation, thus being entertaining as a ride.

Is a good and hard game if you don't go for that bullshit easy mode no killing things.
>>
>>343944213
No killing things is the harder way to play though.
If you kill things you gain EXP, which makes combat easier. Fighting end-game enemies without having leveled up without dying is somewhat difficult.
