Maybe everyone goes to E3 for the big console games available only on the big 3 platforms, but I’m not buying it. As a primarily PC gamer myself, the endless variety of games and playability options found on a PC are the better choice for people who want more than just shoot-em-ups. Sure, PC gaming has plenty of those too, but if there’s anything that proved that there are more really great games out there from independent developers than anyone expected, it was attending the PC Gaming Show at the Wiltern theater in Los Angeles, the day before E3 2018 officially got under way.
What you’ll find below is a mix of classics and a lot of games you’ve never heard of before. Yes, there are tons of battle royale style games here, but there are lots of games with gameplay options that you won’t see coming. You know you’ve always wanted to be the shark in Jaws, right? Scroll down. You’re about to get your chance.
