I wanted to share some PC games I enjoyed during the pandemic, not new games but fun. If you have any games to suggest please share, they do not have to be on the PC.

this 2 are investigation type games I got on sale and I was surprised that I liked but are not worth full price:

  • Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments

  • Murdered: Soul Suspect

  • Battle Brothers - tactical RPG that I still play from time to time, fun and hard game

  • Magrunner - Puzzle games similar to Portal but with cyberpunk + Cthulhu

  • Tower of Time - is a crpg that I absolutely loved

  • Enderal: Forgotten Stories - you need Skyrim to play but I doubt that is an issue. Great story

  • Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem - I actually liked it but the end game needs work and to few talents. Not sure if it is better now, I would not recommend at full price.

  • Binary Domain - old school full of action shooter where you kill robots left and right. I think this was famous but I never heard of it so adding it to the list.

I also played DMC5 and Doom but pointless to put on a list since everyone knows about those.

Any suggestions are welcomed.
