Been 10 years, looking for game recommendations that can't be played again.
Been 10 years, looking for game recommendations that can't be played again.
Well, taxing yes simply because a 10 year old computer is really limited to what it can handle.
I'm just pointing out that a game that wouldn't have been possible to see with such quality, thanks to hardware limits, is exactly what I'm after.
If I can push over 20fps in a game, I'm happy.
From the reviews, I'm planning to aim for at least 50-60fps in most games, and I'm really looking forward to it.
Seriously, I haven't seen a 3D game run smoothly above 30fps in a while.
Maybe I'll try it on PC first.
I think installing CS:GO is just to check it out, but...
It's really disappointing that I can't play Wildstar with my new setup. It feels like I'm a bit too late.
I enjoyed Wildstar a lot, but playing at 20 fps in PvP was quite challenging.
I really liked metro: 2033 and LL both in redux versions; they were quite enjoyable and can be demanding with higher settings. Those were fun.
I've heard the tomb raider games are great, and Crysis looks pretty solid, with good graphics even though I've never played it.
Here are some titles I think you might find interesting, along with their approximate file sizes on my PC:
Arma 3 – can run on most systems if settings are adjusted; can stress a computer when increased – 33.2GB
Dead Rising 3 – new zombie-building mechanics, skeletal models visible at once; 20GB+
RedStone – longest playtime online due to slow internet (under 50kb/s); 2-3GB
Red Dead Redemption 2 – original version, fun gameplay; 2-3GB
Jurassic World Evolution – nice graphics; 5GB+
Left for Dead 1 & 2 – played extensively before moving on; 5GB + 15GB
Umbrella Corps – Resident Evil universe; good visuals; not a daily focus
Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit – engaging story; 3.7GB; 2-4 hours
Kingdom Come: Deliverance – looks solid, combat okay; large download (60+GB)
Mount & Blade Warband – immersive open world; no help needed; builds your empire; 4GB for a business version
Mount and Blade: Warband – fully self-directed experience; big file size to download
I haven’t picked many games lately since most new releases require 50GB or more, especially those testing PC performance.
Fascinating, most of those titles I've never encountered before. I'll take a look at them.
Thank you
1. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands shows some weak points in software optimization, making it a tough stress test. The missions feel a bit too similar, the driving mechanics are unusual (not as realistic as GTA 5), and the characters aren't especially memorable or significant. Still, the expansive map offers flexibility—you can adapt your tactics if desired—and the game supports multiplayer up to four players. For shooters, it delivers a solid gaming experience.
2. Escape from Tarkov stands out among battle royale titles for its quality. While objectives can feel repetitive, you maintain full control over how to achieve them. You can focus solely on collecting loot or target other players (who are allies but can be betrayed) to complete the round. The game offers extensive loot options and a high level of gun customization, though losing items is common if others take them. It’s best enjoyed with friends.
3. Tomb Raider titles perform well in terms of optimization, running smoothly on a GTX 1060 6GB laptop. Their gameplay leans more toward storytelling than dynamic action.
4. BeamNG Drive impresses not because it’s lightweight, but due to its realistic driving experience and accurate crash physics, making it essential for players who value authenticity.
Mount and Blade Warband likely brought the most fun to a small game, though Mount and Blade Fire and Sword didn't quite match. It mainly added single-shot firearms, which fits with Mount and Blade's reputation as an underrated title. If you dislike its graphics, Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord should be released soon—its release date has been mentioned since 2017, even though that’s typical for a small development team.

Also, Conqueror's Blade is similar to Tiger Knight on Steam and might come out this year.
