PC Gamer: The top 100 PC games (www.pcgamer.com)

Quite a good list, although without any real surprises, except for the cheeky inclusion of a recent fan-made PC port. I'm glad Kerbal Space Program is on it, but a few other personal favorites (and candidates for best game of all time) are absent, like The Talos Principle, BeamNG.drive, NEO Scavenger, World of Goo, Mafia, Machinarium and Gothic II. Jets'n'Guns - a very early Indie masterpiece of a 2D space shooter - as well, but it's a bit too obscure for these kinds of lists. I'll stop here before I accidentally create my own top 100.

Are your favorite PC games well-represented by this list?

No Factorio either.

This article may as well have been written by AI.

I'm not AI and I really dislike Factorio. I would say it is a bit of a niche game, but Rimworld also seems niche. Probably just not to anyone at PC Gamer's taste.

Factorio is not for everyone, but it's also one of the all stars of its genre. With the upcoming expansion in a couple weeks, it'll probably eat another few hundred of my free hours over the next few months, and I know I'm not alone on this one.

Oh, totally. But the folks making the list might not even have thought of it if none of them play it.

No, just saying it would not have made my top 100 list. Seemed like a funny thing to say it is an AI list because of not having Factorio
