FTL is great for people like myself that are getting older. Not only is it short enough for us to squeeze into our busy lives and enjoyable the whole way through but has fantastic replay value with a variety of unlockables. I got a silly sense of delight in renaming my crew-mates to my close friends. Really, the whole thing just scratches that itch of being in charge of your own Star Trek ship, which again, serves my age demographic. FTL is a delight from start to finish and if you can catch it for five dollars, it's a steal.
Love strategy but your processor and graphics card doesn't love you? The best strategy games for low-end PCs have you covered.
From Xfire: "PC exclusives might not get as much of the limelight as their console counterparts, but that doesn't mean they're not worthy of your attention. PC exclusive games are often just as good if not better than console exclusives. Some even go on to win multiple gaming awards despite being made by relatively unknown studios."
It's not supposed to produce a foul odor contrary to popular belief. That would indicate intestinal injury.
From Xfire: "Gaming desktops are more powerful than they've ever been. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to get themselves the latest and most powerful graphics card right now. Not especially given the current situation, with cryptocurrency miners driving up the prices of even entry-level gaming graphics cards like the GTX 1050 ti.
With that said, not every game out there demands a powerful PC. In fact, in this day and age, some of the best games on PC can be played even if your desktop doesn't have a graphics card."
It's not just miners driving up prices, but the fact that there's a global semiconductor shortage. It's hitting everything hard, from GPUs, to cars, to mobile SoCs.
But I've noted a similar thing to the author, in that many of the games I play don't even require the hardware I've got. Still nice to have, still want to get a RTX 30XX series card for the graphics heavy games I do end up playing, but some of the best games I've played don't require beefy hardware to run or enjoy.
