Choosing a perfect gift for the gamer in your life brings a lot of problems every year. For some it comes with so much stress that they've began to call Christmas by a different name – Stressmas. So if you're looking for gifts for gamers in 2019 we can help you out. Be it a gift for a gamer boyfriend or girlfriend, friend, or a sibling we prepared a compilation of best gifts for PC gamers for the Christmas of 2019!
Best gifts for gamers who enjoy a good challenge
Does the person who you're getting a gift for enjoy failing over and over again until they finally stand triumphant on the corpses of their dead enemies? It does sound rather specific now that I think about it, so let me try again. Are they persistent and ready to face a challenge? Do they boast a high level of skill no others can match? The good news is that there are plenty of games for them. The bad news is that you probably won't see them for a week after they start playing. But as I always like to say – you can't go wrong with Dark Souls.
„But they've already played through all of those for hundreds of times!“ I hear you shouting. Understandable, I'm in the same situation. That's why there are many games that scratch that itch in our offer. And if you'd like to learn more about them you can always check out my Soulslike games you should try article. But until then, here is a brief list if you're in a hurry.
- Code Vein
- Code Vein Deluxe Edition
- The Surge
- The Surge Augmented Edition
- The Surge 2
- Lords of the Fallen
- Blasphemous
- Nioh
The next best thing to being an actual wizard
Does the person worthy of your gift like Dungeons and Dragons and similar games? Or are they into LARP-ing? Or perhaps they just love a good story and chucking occasional fireballs at monsters. If that's the case you can't go wrong with one of our role-playing titles. From space exploration to fantasy dungeons (and occasional killing of chickens) you'll find plenty of options to choose from.
- The Outer Worlds
- Pillars of Eternity
- Pillars of Eternity Definitive Edition
- Fallout 4
- Fallout 4 Game of the Year Edition
If they're more of a type to follow a good, already developed character full on customisable roleplay might not be what you're looking for. It's a good think there are options for that too. And personally, they are some of my favourites. Check these games out!
- Dishonored
- Dishonored Definitive Edition
- Dishonored 2

Why cast spells when you can shoot?
Some people prefer the style of point and shoot. And we love them! As a perfect gift for gamers who love shooters you'll have plenty to choose from. We have everything. Crazy science fiction with thousands of different guns? Check. Moving down hordes of zombies with your arsenal and friends? Check. A competitive first-person team-based shooter that requires strategy and coordination? Check, check, and check! Take a look at these games:

But why limit yourself to just one genre? How about you cross a good role-play and story with shooting elements? These games are sure to bring out a smile from any gamer you gift them to:

- Bioshock 2
- Bioshock Infinite
- Far Cry 4
- Far Cry 4 Gold Edition

The perfect gift for gamers multiclassing into brainiacs
Your favourite gamer has their intelligence skill maxed out? Don't fret. You don't need to be a chief strategist to pick a present for them. If you've ever caught them thinking one turn over and over for 10 minutes or more we have games for that as well.
- Civilization IV
- Civilization V
- Civilization V Game of the Year Edition
- Civilization V Complete Edition
- Civilization VI

And if the gift for gamers that you're looking for involves a combination of real-time and turn-based strategy which creates a dynamic experience why not take a look at some of the Total War games? Pick between realism and fantasy to whatever suits them best!
And if you're looking for a white Christmas check out Frostpunk. Plenty of snow to go around in there. It might not be as pleasant though.
Gifts for gamers that like sports
It's a bit cold to be running around outside and playing sports, don't you think? You wouldn't want your gamer to catch a cold.
