Game on, friends.
We’ve been absolutely spoiled for great games in 2023. But if your computer can’t pump out the polygons, it’s unlikely that you’ve been keeping up with high-end games like Baldur’s Gate 3 or Lies of P. But that’s okay because there are more than enough great games that don’t require a high-end rig to play.
If you’re using a lower-end desktop, a laptop without a discrete graphics card, or even a Steam Deck that you want to last for more than two hours on a charge, you should check out my yearly review of low-power PC games. All are available on Windows, among other platforms, and they should work just fine on your trusty, rusty older machine. It doesn’t hurt that they’re all significantly cheaper than new AAA games, too.
