Uhhh, rise from the grave... anyways, since the last time I posted in this topic I would add "Prey" to the list, I hardly can find any annoying/bad design choices in this little gem, definitely timeless classic already for me.
Best ever PC games ever created ever thread.

The thread was redeemed when you named Portal 2.
That was a (potentially) awesome game, had heaps of fun with it - but back then on SLI GT660's there was a completely unavoidable crash about 45 minutes playtime in, no matter what you didI might try to find it on GOG or something and try again. Skyrim is also a great game. Witcher 3, urm, thumbs down from me - but plenty other people like it
You can download various free modded versions which include the full story along with lots of improvements. The publishers released all the assets so these are legal. Last one I played was called Anomaly and is very good. It also includes a couple of different game modes including Iron Man and a cool variation of Iron man where if you die you switch to another existing Stalker in the zone
For me, the best PC game ever created is a weird, unpolished and quixotic affair called Kenshi.
For those of you who have never heard of it, it's classified as a "swordpunk" isometric game that's set on a dystopian alien world. It has no plot. It has no quests. And none of the characters that are in it care if you live or die other than your own. You can play it as a lone wanderer battling against a vast and exceedingly harsh world that will do its absolute best to separate you from your limbs, enslave you and torture you to death, or you can build a faction full of unique individuals that work as a team to overcome the almost insurmountable challenges the game throws at you. There are no restrictions on your conduct, but there are consequences for every action you take, and there is no right way to play it. You can buy up property and open a sake bar, or go hunting for ancient and mysterious monsters, or unlock ancient technological secrets from the gameworld's rich and brutal past. You can become a petty thug living in the swamps or overthrow an emperor and supplant him.
What's really amazing is that all of this was done, for the most part, by just one developer named Chris Hunt. Chris worked as a security guard while making the game. It took him years to create all of Kenshi's unique assets and make them come to life, but in the end, he produced a game that was both brilliantly "empty" and somehow so full of things to do and stories to write for ourselves that it overflows almost from the first moment you're thrown into it.
If you haven't played Kenshi, I can't recommend it enough. At first, you wonder what the hell this mess of terrible, outdated textures is trying to be. A few hours later, you'll wonder where the last few hours went. And when you realize that the game never really ends, you might get as hooked on it as I did. I put Kenshi in the same sphere as Torment and New Vegas, and somehow it elevates itself above those games for me. If you haven't played Kenshi, you really should. Real GOAT material.
