1. Tom Clancy's The Division

New York City is a very different place now

From Ubisoft comes Tom Clancy’s The Division, an online open world third-person shooter released in June 2016. You play as a sleeper agent of the United States Strategic Homeland Division, simply known in the game as The Division. In a near-future New York City, struck by a smallpox pandemic, it is your job to rebuild and investigate the source and cause of the outbreak.

Take cover behind objects left in the city after the outbreak

The game features some RPG aspects such as earning experience points to level up your character and learning new talents and skills. The player will also receive in-game currency, which can go toward buying new and improved weapons and gear. This gear can also be found in-world as loot, or by crafting. Another RPG aspect of the game is that missions can be found in the base of operations from different wings of The Division.

You will be able to carry three different weapons as well as explosives like mines and grenades. Weapons start at worn or standard, but can reach up to be extremely high-tech and cutting-edge. You can choose between pistols, shotguns, SMGs, assault rifles, marksman rifles, and light machine guns. You can even mod your weapons and change their skins through crafting.

The world is a much more dangerous place after the Small Pox outbreak hit New York City

You are placed in a very realistic environment that is completely destructible with day-night cycles, and changing weather conditions. The changes in environment will affect the gameplay. Poor weather conditions can make it difficult to see enemies, but that means that it will also make enemies difficult to see you. And during the night, enemies will act differently than during the day. Enemies will be sneakier during the night, hiding in the shadows, for instance.

In the competitive multiplayer mode, players can enter the Dark Zone, a player versus player arena which will pit players against one another. Groups of teams can co-operate together in the Dark Zone, however, you may not want to trust your team, as they can easily turn against one another. Multiplayer mode has a different progression system than the main story, and you can find better, albeit, tainted loot.

Enemies are those that are trying to take advantage of the outbreak – you must stop them and restore order

Tom Clancy’s The Division is a brand new game with gorgeous graphics and dangerous enemies. With elements from shooter games as well as RPGs, The Division is an interesting and unique online game that provides hours of fun. You never know what you’ll get with this game, which makes it all the more fun.

That is our list of twenty-one amazing PC games from online multiplayer games, to roleplaying games. Each game is unique with exciting competitive or one-player modes and tons of replay value, proving 2016 is a great year for PC gaming.
