5 PC Games to Play Before 2023 Ends

Year-end gaming is one of the best ways to celebrate the holiday season. It is an entertaining and relaxing way to release all the stress that you feel during the year.

Before the year ends, most of the games will launch their holiday-themed content and release some special updates that will allow players to conduct a virtual celebration with their friends.

Moreover, you can also hop on the gaming server with your loved ones during the holiday break. You can purchase games that are fitted for players with varying skill levels to ensure that everyone can join the fun.

Regardless of how you want to celebrate gaming through the holiday season, here are some of the PC games that you must not miss a chance to play before this year ends:

Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

Released as the expanded version of the popular RPG Disco Elysium, the game offers a combination of a deep storyline and a unique art style. In the game, players take on the role of a detective who suffers from amnesia. Your task is to solve a murder case as you try to navigate your way into a complex environment.

The Final Cut has a generally favorable score of 89 on Metacritic, proving that it had improved from the initial release. The expanded version features reworked quests, political vision quests, and additional areas to explore. Most importantly, it now has a full voice acting for all characters which helps in fully immersing yourself in the game.

Half-Life 2

Half-Life 2 is one of the oldie but goodie PC games that remained a gem even after two decades. Most of the time, gamers are so focused on playing recently released games that they tend to forget some of the hidden gems in the vast library of collections.

The game highlights the story of Gordon Freeman and is set in a dystopian future where the Earth is under the control of aliens. You must try your best to navigate through City 17 and other locations. Despite its old age, the game still has an active modding community so you can also check that one out.

Grand Theft Auto V

With two years' worth of waiting still on the line, it is still not too late to play Grand Theft Auto V. Set in the ever-famous fictional state of San Andreas, the game offers an open-world environment to players where they can execute heists and quests.

Minecraft Dungeons

Released in 2020, Minecraft Dungeons puts more emphasis on cooperative gameplay. This makes it a perfect game to play with your friends or relatives as the game is designed exactly for collaboration.

The game supports up to four players and you can team up to explore dungeons, fight enemies, and share your loot. The levels are also randomly generated making it a unique yet challenging experience regardless of their skill level.

Fortnite

This year is probably the best year to come back to Fortnite. Although some players have gradually dropped the game, 2023 has been an epic journey for the game since the OG map had a huge comeback for a limited time.

Moreover, there are now various games to play in Fortnite aside from the typical Battle Royale. You can set up a private party with your friends so you can try various games together.
