So, I just discovered that my girlfriend really enjoyed watching me play video games and I want to play other games as well to keep things interesting. The thing is, the only games I played before are exclusively MOBAs and nothing else. I would love to hear your thoughts on what are the most enjoyable games in the past decades that my PC can handle.
Specs: I3 4th gen, 4 gb, nvidia 630
I was going to suggest FTL: Faster Than Light. It is a wonderful game.
Low resources required, infinitely repayable.
While I did upgrade over Christmas, but my last PC is 8 years old. These were my go to games that ran on it.
VVVVVV, Mini Metro, Factorio, Stardew Valley, Frostpunk, The Escapist, Lumino City,
Stardew Valley or Graveyard Keeper
Vampire Survivors
Had to scroll too far to find this one.
Hyper Light Drifter
Axiom Verge 1 & 2
Hollow Knight
Hotline Miami (maybe 2? 2 is slow on some machines)
Heat Signature
BPM (maybe?)
Dead Cells
FTL
Into the Breach
Hades
There are lots more, but I’m tired of listing.
Check out some roguelites like Enter the Gungeon and Binding of Isaac. They have hours of playtime/variety and can run on a baked potato.
Thank you for your suggestion!
Banished is good, son is heroes of magic and might 3, prob my go to games.
Something a bit more modern, cities skyline if you just go for the base stuff.
Slay the spire but it's been mostly a switch game for me same is true for moon lighter both of which are on pc and would make a fun, oh would you like a go type games.
If you have a controller for your PC, I'd highly recommend emulators for old consoles. You should be able to comfortably play PS1 and below given your PC. Older indie titles should also be fine. If you want to get into rhythm games (and also improve your mouse aim for MOBAs), Osu is free and beginner/potato friendly.
City builders or grand strategy games.
That way the backseat gamer can still actively participate if she likes.
Or maybe some single player game with a theme or setting both of you enjoy.
ci-fi, Fantasy, a western or whatever.
Emulators.
Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition (1 and 2) My favorite game EVER
I dont know shit about PC Specks but "Fuga Melodies of Steel" is a rather humble game. Its also has a free demo which is just straight up the first 3 chapters of the game. So you dont need to buy it in order to try out if your PC can run ut.
Dead Cells, Death's Gambit, Towerfall Ascension, emulators is another great option.
I'm unsure on the requirements of these but it's worth checking the below, depending what you're into.
Divinity Original Sin 2.
Dragon Age Origin.
Firewatch
Abzu
Octopath Traveler
Bravley Default
