I mostly agree with this list. I love that AKS included Cyberpunk 2077, since that game has really redeemed itself with the updates to it. All the other games are also well deserving of their place, such as Baldurs Gate 3, and Elden Ring. Personally I would’ve moved the latter up a bit, but I respect your list.
I am thrilled to see that Hogwarts Legacy made the list! As an HP fan, I loved HP Hogwarts Mystery by Portkey Games and when I heard of Hogwarts Legacy and saw its gameplay I was transported to the magical corridors and grounds. Amazing experience on PC! It’s calming and beautiful to play. Recommended to all HP fans.
I have to agree with this list, haven’t got a chance to play BG3 yet but I defo will. Love that CP2077 is on there, the new 2.0 and 2.1 updates have been amazing and the redemption arc of the game has been amazing, really enjoy playing it (about 250h in it). And also Hogwarts Legacy, as a big HP fan the game is really enjoyable, I could walk around the castle for hours on end and not get bored 😀
Hello David,
It’s great to hear your enthusiasm for our game list, especially CP2077’s updates and your anticipation for BG3. Your enjoyment of Hogwarts Legacy as a Harry Potter fan, immersing in its magical world, is wonderful. Happy gaming and exploring!
