2018</h1> <div class="introduction">The PC might well be the best platform for game diversity. While PC-only players will miss out on certain console exclusive titles, this is usually more than made up by being able to run the latest games at the highest resolutions and frame rates. 2018 was another great year for PC gaming, with superb releases in most major genres. If you wanted strategy, action, retro, RPG, or FPS, the PC was a great platform to be gaming on 2018. Here are our picks for the best PC games released in 2018.</div> </header> <main> <section class="best-games-item"> <p class="rank">13</p> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid-forty"> <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/battletech" class="cover" data-cover="//cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/usgamer/BattleTech-Header-02.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/330x180/quality/75/format/jpg" title="Cover image for BattleTech"></a> </div> <div class="grid-sixty"> <div class="content"> <p class="title"><a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/battletech">BattleTech</a></p> <div class="links"> <p class="review">Read our <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/battletech-review">BattleTech review</a></p> <p class="affiliate"> Get it at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220614235153/https://www.amazon.com/s?k=BattleTech&tag=usg-m-20" rel="nofollow">Amazon.com</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="best-games-item"> <p class="rank">12</p> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid-forty"> <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-4" class="cover" data-cover="//cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/usgamer/CoD-Black-Ops-4-Review-Header-01.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/330x180/quality/75/format/jpg" title="Cover image for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4"></a> </div> <div class="grid-sixty"> <div class="content"> <p class="title"><a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-4">Call of Duty: Black Ops 4</a></p> <p class="description">Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 lands with a quality combination featuring multiplayer, Zombies, and the new Blackout battle royale mode.

Its character-driven plot and skill system recall the series' breakout PlayStation 2 installment, though Dragon Quest XI's lively world and expressive monsters lend it a unique feeling and flavor. Some fans might feel let-down about Dragon Quest XI's lack of job system or other options that let you fine-tune every aspect of your party (what I wouldn't give to see Dragon Quest V's monster-friending system make a return), but if you're in the market for a turn-based RPG that feels nostalgic but doesn't force you to deal with old genre mechanics, you won't find a better quest.</p> <div class="links"> <p class="review">Read our <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/dragon-quest-xi-echoes-of-an-elusive-age-review">Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age review</a></p> <p class="review">Read our <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/what-is-the-nintendo-switch-everything-we-know-about-nintendo-switch-3">Guide to Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age</a></p> <p class="affiliate"> Get it at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220614235153/https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Dragon%20Quest%2011%3A%20Echoes%20of%20an%20Elusive%20Age&tag=usg-m-20" rel="nofollow">Amazon.com</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="best-games-item"> <p class="rank">7</p> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid-forty"> <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/assassins-creed-odyssey" class="cover" data-cover="//cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/usgamer/AC-Odyssey-Review-Header-01.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/330x180/quality/75/format/jpg" title="Cover image for Assassin's Creed Odyssey"></a> </div> <div class="grid-sixty"> <div class="content"> <p class="title"><a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/assassins-creed-odyssey">Assassin's Creed Odyssey</a></p> <p class="description">Building upon the foundation established in Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey brings together that title's RPG adventure with the ship-bound exploration of Black Flag. Choice and consequence feature heavily in Odyssey, with the player guiding Alexios or Kassandra through a massive journey to reunite their family and kill a lot of people. Not every feature is perfect, with things like recruitment and Conquest Battles needing a bit of work, but overall Odyssey is a grand next step for the journey Origins started.</p> <div class="links"> <p class="review">Read our <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/assassins-creed-odyssey-review">Assassin's Creed Odyssey review</a></p> <p class="review">Read our <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/02-10-2018-assassins-creed-odyssey-guide">Guide to Assassin's Creed Odyssey</a></p> <p class="affiliate"> Get it at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220614235153/https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Assassin%27s%20Creed%20Odyssey&tag=usg-m-20" rel="nofollow">Amazon.com</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="best-games-item"> <p class="rank">6</p> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid-forty"> <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/into-breach" class="cover" data-cover="//cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/usgamer/into-the-breach-stream-hed.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/330x180/quality/75/format/jpg" title="Cover image for Into the Breach"></a> </div> <div class="grid-sixty"> <div class="content"> <p class="title"><a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/into-breach">Into the Breach</a></p> <div class="links"> <p class="affiliate"> Get it at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220614235153/https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Into%20the%20Breach&tag=usg-m-20" rel="nofollow">Amazon.com</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="advert-container low-leaderboard-container collapsible"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-USG_LB_2-8762" class="advert low-leaderboard" data-dfp-id="USG_LB_2" data-dfp-collapse="true" data-dfp-sizes="728x90" data-dfp-responsive="portable-low-leaderboard" data-dfp-targeting="site=usgamer.net"></div> </div> <section class="best-games-item"> <p class="rank">5</p> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid-forty"> <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/dead-cells" class="cover" data-cover="//cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/usgamer/Dead-Cells-Header-04.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/330x180/quality/75/format/jpg" title="Cover image for Dead Cells"></a> </div> <div class="grid-sixty"> <div class="content"> <p class="title"><a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/dead-cells">Dead Cells</a></p> <p class="description">The field of indie roguelike Metroidvanias is littered with competition, but Dead Cells stands out by focusing on movement and combat. None of its peers feel as good in their moment-to-moment play. The controls are tight, the movement is fluid, and the combat has a real weight to it. Once you get into it, Dead Cells is about this unique state of combat flow, where you're moving, dodging, and killing your way to the end at high-speed. The progression system causes the game to stumble a little, since it's less than satisfying to upgrade a chance at better items dropping. But Dead Cells is a winner overall, especially if you're a player who's all about technique and execution.</p> <div class="links"> <p class="review">Read our <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/dead-cells-review">Dead Cells review</a></p> <p class="review">Read our <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/dead-cells-guide-tips-and-tricks-how-to-get-every-rune-secrets">Guide to Dead Cells</a></p> <p class="affiliate"> Get it at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220614235153/https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Dead%20Cells&tag=usg-m-20" rel="nofollow">Amazon.com</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="best-games-item"> <p class="rank">4</p> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid-forty"> <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/forza-horizon-4" class="cover" data-cover="//cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/usgamer/Forza-Horizon-4-Header-01.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/330x180/quality/75/format/jpg" title="Cover image for Forza Horizon 4"></a> </div> <div class="grid-sixty"> <div class="content"> <p class="title"><a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/forza-horizon-4">Forza Horizon 4</a></p> <p class="description">You can debate the merits of some of this version's additions, but the same strong core that has pushed Forza Horizon to the top of the driving sim heap remains firmly in place here.

Instead, Capcom took a careful look at Monster Hunter's design and cut all the fat while leaving the series trademark dense gameplay completely intact. All the changes, from the broad, sweeping ones to the granular alterations, only serve to improve an already winning formula. The next generation of Monster Hunter has finally begun, and, with Monster Hunter: World, it's off to an incredibly good start.</p> <div class="links"> <p class="review">Read our <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/monster-hunter-world-review">Monster Hunter World review</a></p> <p class="review">Read our <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/15-01-2018-most-anticipated-games-of-2018">Guide to Monster Hunter World</a></p> <p class="affiliate"> Get it at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220614235153/https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Monster%20Hunter%20World&tag=usg-m-20" rel="nofollow">Amazon.com</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="best-games-item"> <p class="rank">1</p> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid-forty"> <a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/celeste" class="cover" data-cover="//cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/usgamer/celeste_hed.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/330x180/quality/75/format/jpg" title="Cover image for Celeste"></a> </div> <div class="grid-sixty"> <div class="content"> <p class="title"><a href="/web/20220614235153/https://www.usgamer.net/games/celeste">Celeste</a></p> <p class="description">Platformers, especially those with a retro flair, come along often.
