Favourite Games on PC of all time

INTRODUCTION

• The following is a list of my all time vafourite games on PC
• Sci-fi / horror are my favourite themes. While gameplay is a major factor, of course, most games are here primarily because of their atmosphere
• Most games here are old. With minor exceptions, I am generally not very happy with the direction of modern game design. While I recognize nostalgia is a factor here, old games were just more badass.
• There are some symbols after each name, those are for me, please ignore them
