Although it's hard to narrow it down to the best games on Steam, there's certainly something for everyone on this list.

There are so many amazing games on Steam. Although it’s hard to narrow it down to the best, there’s certainly something for everyone on this list. I’ve chosen a few of the most-played and top-rated games on Steam, as well as a few classics that never seem to get old.

Best games on Steam

The Portal Series (Portal and Portal 2)

Each game in the Portal series is $9.99 and they are both worth every penny. The games involve unique and challenging portal-based puzzles. You have to figure out the best way to manipulate your surroundings and navigate to the end of each puzzle. The witty writing polishes off this series even more.

There are areas where you can only play single player, like the first few levels of Portal. Eventually, you can play online with friends and the games become a new, enjoyable experience. These two games are definitely ones to add to your collection.

Stardew Valley

This is a sweet farming simulator in which you inherit your grandfather’s farm in Stardew Valley. You have to fix up the farm and learn to make a living from growing and tending to your crops, fishing, mining, and more. It’s so easy to spend hours in this game and feel like only minutes have gone by.

There are over 30 non-player characters (NPCs) in the game that are unique and interesting to talk to every day. You are eventually able to choose from some of the NPCs to marry and have kids with later in the game.

The developers also added a multiplayer function a year or so ago, so now you can play the game with up to 3 friends at one time. From finding all the artifacts for the museum to trying to reach the bottom of Skull Cavern, there is plenty to keep you engaged in this game. For $14.99, this game is a steal.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

Skyrim is a classic game to own for a reason. It’s won over 200 Game of the Year Awards, and it has stood the test of time. The enhanced Special Edition was recently released in 2016 for $39.99 and it looks fantastic. The Special Edition also brought with it new quests, characters, weapons, and more.

Skyrim is a single player fantasy role-playing game (RPG). There are so many different characters you can play as, and many different skill builds you can pursue. There is a story to follow, but the game is massive and open-world, so you’re free to explore the world at your own pace.

The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt – Game of the Year Edition

There are not enough great things I can say about this game. You play as Geralt of Rivia, a witcher, or a professional monster slayer, and follow a riveting storyline. You could easily spend over 150 hours in this game; there’s crafting, magic, gruesome fights, beasts, humor, and much more. The Game of the Year edition comes with the base game and all the expansions.

You have free reign to decide whether you follow side quests or the main story. You also have multiple skills to choose from to upgrade, so you can build Geralt in whatever way suits your fight style. The game is regularly $49.99, but it goes on sale all the time. It’s currently available for $14.99.

Borderlands 2

Although there is a pretty interesting story to follow in the game, this game is great for its shooting mechanics and variety of weapons. You play as one of four vault hunters, each equipped with their own unique set of skills and special powers.

Throughout the game, it’s your mission to take down the CEO of the evil Hyperion corporation, Handsome Jack. There are quite a few side quests and bosses leading up to Handsome Jack that the game never loses your interest. The animation style is really awesome too – it has sort of a comic book feel to it.

You can play this game by yourself or with up to 3 other players through online co-op. What’s awesome about the online co-op functionality is that it’s drop-in/drop-out, so you don’t have to restart the game for other players to join. You can grab this game for only $19.99.
