A universal and yet still uncomfortable truth for many PC gamers is that sometimes, just sometimes, a controller is better for some games. Now before a pitchfork-wielding rabble turns up on the GMG doorstop demanding justice, we\u2019re not saying all games, but a controller can definitely enhance some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But which games, I hear you ask? These games! Here are our top picks for the best PC games to play with a controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mortal Kombat 11<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fighting games are made for analogue control, with their arcade roots many would say that they perform best when used in conjunction with a fight stick. Failing that, you can always use a controller which is an easy and accessible way to get that arcade feeling when in front of your PC. Mortal Kombat 11 is the Mortal Kombat series\u2019 high point, filled with brutalities and characters from across Earthrealm (and other realms). We reckon if you want a fighting game to test your controller against, Mortal Kombat 11 might be the perfect fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forza Horizon 5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who\u2019s played a racing game on keyboard can probably attest to it being a little difficult when facing corners. The analogue steering of an analogue car, even in a digital world, benefits massively from analogue input. Forza Horizon 5 is one of the most intensely immersive arcade racing games ever created and if you have a PC compatible controller on hand, like a PlayStation DualSense, then you\u2019ll be ready to dive into a world of racing heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The original Final Fantasy VII remains one of the finest JRPGs ever created and this remake is the perfect example of how to remake a game. Not only are the visuals and gameplay enhanced for modern gamers, it takes the story in different and unique directions making it full of surprises. For games like this a controller really adds to the action, helping you feel in charge of Cloud and his pals in a way you just can\u2019t with a standard setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Truck Simulator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The road is long and dusty, but you\u2019re in your cab high up above the passing traffic. The sun is blazing down on you but nothing can touch you as you turn up the radio and cruise to your destination. American Truck Simulator is a slice of Americana that\u2019s unbeaten in gaming and if you don\u2019t have a steering wheel to hand you can grab your controller and have an amazing time as you deliver cargo across the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filthy Animals: Heist Simulator<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes what you need in your life is a little chaos and Filthy Animals: Heist Simulator brings that in spades. Its mix of physics-based action, puzzle solving, and high-stakes mutant animal theft is best appreciated when using a controller. Of course, other input methods are supported, but why settle for less – grab your nearest controller, be it a DualSense or something else, and get heisting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super Meat Boy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ah, the game that started it all. Well, it didn\u2019t start the trend for controllers but it was one of the first to state outright at launch that you should really be using a controller if you want to get the most out of it. Now, years later, Super Meat Boy remains a high point of platforming on the PC. With super tight controls, incredible levels, and boss fights that\u2019ll stick with you forever, Super Meat Boy is the perfect advert for why you need a controller in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horizon Zero Dawn<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Horizon Zero Dawn is one of those games that captures the imagination of anyone who plays it. Set in a post-apocalyptic Earth filled with colossal robot creatures, this open world third person action\/stealth RPG is a masterpiece in how to tell a story while having utterly compelling gameplay. With a controller, it just gets even better, you\u2019ll feel every knock of your bow and the thump of every creature passing by making it a totally immersive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elite: Dangerous<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of immersive experiences, there are few games that subsume the player so totally as Elite: Dangerous. Now before anyone shouts at us, yes Elite: Dangerous is best played on a HOTAS flight stick but failing that, second best is a controller. With the recent updates to the game\u2019s control system it\u2019s never been better to play Elite: Dangerous on a controller like a DualSense, so grab it today and start your journey into the vast unknown of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assassin\u2019s Creed (All of Them)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Every single entry in this long-running historical stealth action series is better with a controller, don\u2019t believe us, that\u2019s just a fact. From the start the controls of even the very first game were optimised for controllers, with a naturalistic layout for head, feed, and both arms being core to the game. Since then the series has continued to embrace controller support, with games like Assassin\u2019s Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin\u2019s Creed: Valhalla showing off exactly why you should have a controller in your PC gaming inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elden Ring<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ah yes, Elden Ring. The biggest game of 2022, and the game that out of all on this list most exemplifies why having a controller is a necessity. While obviously you can play with mouse and keyboard this is a game that has been built from the ground up for controller support. From the deep, rich combat to riding Torrent around the beautiful world, you\u2019ll find every moment so much more impactful when you use a controller. So don\u2019t let your DualSense gather dust, plug it into your PC – it\u2019s Elden Ring time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need a Controller for your PC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In 2023 thankfully the days of scrounging about for a controller that\u2019ll work with your favourite game are long gone. With current controllers like the Sony PlayStation DualSense using a controller with your PC has never been easier – simply plug it in or pair it and you\u2019re off, no configuration necessary. For advanced users, backup software such as DS4Windows can help you configure your controller to your specifications, but for many games you should just be able to pick up and play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Controllers aren\u2019t essential for every game but their increased support on PC has meant that PC gaming is more accessible than ever before, bringing new audiences into gaming and opening up gaming to more people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you struggle with mouse and keyboard but still want to get involved with PC gaming, grab a controller, set it up, and experience PC gaming in ways you\u2019ve never experienced before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
