We find the PC is where the Indies really get to shine, and that seems to be the case this year with two indie strategy games Mutant: Year Zero and Into the Breach, while Moonlighter gave us an unique spin on the Roguelike dungeon crawlers that made it hard to put down. We also spent too much time with Far Cry 5 and Pathfinder: Kingmaker. After a lot of discussion, we narrowed down the following for the Best PC Game of 2018.
THE NOMINEES ARE:
Moonlighter
Mutant Year Zero
Pathfinder: Kingmaker
Far Cry 5
Into the Breach
THE WINNER IS:
MOONLIGHTER
Moonlighter is a breath of fresh air for the Roguelike dungeon crawler genre. As the owner of a shop called “Moonlighter” which happens to be outside a series of creepy caves filled with treasure, you spend your time swapping back and forth from dungeon explorer to store-keep, eventually rebuilding your village to a lovely merchant town. With a simple Zelda approach to dungeons and a deep merchant system, you can easily spend hours with Moonlighter.
