We're not including any FPS games in this list, but third-person shooters are fair game, as are action RPGs. Best action gamesĪs usual, we're keeping our definition of 'action' fairly broad, but there are a few hard and fast rules we're sticking to here.
Whether it's the joy of pulling off a perfect combo, riding the wave of an explosive set-piece or the hair-raising thrill of dodging enemy attacks in slow-motion that gets you going, there's an action game here for you.
That's why we've compiled this list - to sort the pulled punches from the bestest biffs that PC has to offer. It's the driving force behind so many of our favourite PC games, but only a few can lay claim to being the best action games of all time.
