The 10 best walls in PC games
No idea what this is but I know I can't shoot through it.

Good walls make for good videogames, as Robert Frost probably wrote. That's why we wanted to celebrate these load-bearing pillars of the medium. They are the textures that engulf us, the boundaries that restrain us, the low cover that protects us, and the canvases awaiting messages daubed in blood or ink to entertain us. They are the ironically overlooked line-of-sight breakers that form the backbone of almost every game you've ever played.

From first-person shooters to collaborative adventures to ancient puzzle games, these are the best walls in PC games.
