Just got my first working PC and looking for some games to get. What are the must plays? Genre and age irrelevant, I only value their quality

That'll keep you busy for a while.

Thanks, know of any PC exclusives that are worth looking into?
Robert Mitchell
Depends on what you're into. PC has a ton of exclusives. If you like space/Sci Fi check out Eve Online. It might help to know what don't like.
Owen James
Thief Gold
Gothic, Gothic 2 with Night of the Raven extension
System Shock 1 and 2
Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat
Unironically Ass Creed 1 and 2 with extensions. People like to shit on this series, and for a reason, but it has some pretty strong merits
Battle Realms
Hitman Codename 47, Silent Assassin and Contracts
Planescape Torment
Josiah Lewis
Planescape: Torment is a beautiful game
Time is not your enemy, forever is
Bentley King
starcraft
age of empires 2

Baldur's gate 1+2 if you like RPGs, Neverwinter Nights 2 w/ mask of the betrayer dlc (base game is mediocre but mask of the betrayer is imo a classic)

Play the multiplat games you used to play on console, if you have a half decent PC the difference in quality and framerate will be stunning.
Connor Howard
>pay 2000 for a new pc
>have to assemble it
>have to rely on up to date drivers
>all to play exclusives from 20 years ago, online games which aren’t intensive, and console ports not made for pc
Bentley Sullivan
Thief 1 and 2 are a must if you haven’t played yet.

>can't emulate games
>meant for playing games but performs worse at it than the pc, a platform not invented for running games
>30 fps
>relies on exclusives to feel less shitty about buyer's remorse
Jack Price
Yeah, sorry about that. I guess I kinda like a bit of everything; FPS, RTS, narrative-driven. The only things I tend to dislike are game specific elements that just don't seem to work for me. For example I like the loot drop system for Nioh but I hate it in Borderlands
Thanks for the extra-long list, it's really appreciated

This.
There are no perennial must-play games released in the past five years. Most AAA gaming is watered down to appeal to the dumbest average joe.
Should’ve bought an old laptop OP. Games suck nowadays and will only get more casual and predatory
Nathan Wilson
Silent Storm
Josiah Campbell
Play the Legacy of Kain series. Feel free to start with Soul Reaver, it's a bit more accessible than Blood Omen 1.
Lucas Hall
consolefags have to quit the game they're playing to open up a browser to shitpost on Yea Forums lmao
Jacob Flores
Brandon Scott
Operation Flashpoint, before you spoil yourself with later Arma games.
No, the port of the campaign to Arma 2 is not the same.
Brody Perez

System Shock 1-2
Ultima Underworld

This but unironically. Why don’t consolefags just slap a cheap gpu into their shitpost machine?
