Best PC RPG Games of All Time

PCs and RPGs go hand-in-hand. Not quite as much as shooters, you know, like DOOM and Wolfenstein, etc. but for every DOOM and Wolfenstein, when it comes to PC RPGs there’s just as many worthy titles.

And whatever your fancy, there’s always something that’s got you covered. Like sci-fi? Here, play some Mass Effect. Like fantasy? Well, what about Elder Scrolls? Or even The Witcher? What about some top-down isometric RPGs? Well, play Diablo then. Post apocalyptic? Fallout. JRPG? Ni No Kuni. An MMO RPG? Ahem, World of Warcraft!

Now you see our point, there’s loads of them. Absolutely loads. So, which are the best PC RPGs of all time? We’re here to let you know!
