I have had playstation for a while, but aside from Petz, Rollercoaster tycoon, and the sims <4 I never had a pc that could handle games.
I was gifted a used custom gaming PC cuz the owner was getting a new one! I have an $80 steam gift card I’d love to spend on multiple pop culture classic games I’ve missed out on and can only enjoy on PC/Xbox… my favorite are 3rd person rpg with exploration as an important element in learning about the lore/story. Some sort of reward for exploring thar isn’t loot.
Games I loved
Control
Horizon zero dawn
Persona 5/royal
Those three are S tier life changing, think about forever types
Bishop trilogy (2 is best @me bro)
P5 strikers
Persona 4 golden
Final fantasy, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15
Catherine Full Body
Alan Wake
Ni no Kuni2
The forgotten city
Until dawn
A plague tale 1 innocence
TLOU1
Uncharted 1-3
Portal 1 & 2
Meh
life is strange 1
TLOU2
Nier automata (ikr, wtf? )
Did not finish/Gave up for lack of interest
Mass effect 1 (and thus none of the sequels)
Little nightmares
Fallout 4
Cyberpunk 2077 and not for glitch reasons
Ghostwire
So far the only game I’m sure of is the fable series but I dont even know what version to get? It often gets confusing for older games for a newbie
Everyone is recommending games, but you haven’t told us a thing about this gifted PC. It’s important to know that prior to recommending anything, as a “custom gaming PC” could be an i7-4790k system from a decade ago.
I would love to tell you but my last pc was win7 and the newest windows is not intuitive for me. I can’t explain it except that things that should and have been simple for me aren’t anymore. I couldn’t even guess where to go in settings to get that info. I really really hate this os I’d love to figure out how to dual boot Linux and just not deal with windows except for gaming. Sorry old person drunk rant about tech…
Press Win+Pause/Break, or open the Start menu and type “About” to bring up About PC. This will tell you the processor and RAM, the latter of which should be an absolute minimum of 16 GB.
Open the Start menu and run Device Manager to check the graphics processing unit (GPU). Whatcha got?
Anyway, for exploration-driven story, Subnautica is the king of the mountain, by a ridiculously wide margin.

Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

What are the specs?
Don’t diss i7-4790k, you’d be surprised how well it can run some modern titles!
I’m aware, I built such a system in 2015. Unfortunately my ex got it in the divorce.
That still doesn’t tell us anything about OP’s system.
I know, I’m just failing to be cheeky.
Oh, okay, then it sucks. You’re missing out on nothin’!
It’s fine, I built a 5800X3D/7900XTX system as a gift to myself after the fact 😅
Oh. Then never mind, let her keep the old trash!

If your primary gaming is through Steam, then you shouldn’t have to switch back to Windows much if at all.
No problem. It’s easy enough:

For slight further clarification on part 2, when checking for the GPU in device manager, it will be listed under “Display adapters”.
Thanks so much!
Intel i9 3.6ghz 32gb ram Nvidia GeForce rtx 2070
I have no idea why he needed to upgrade this with a whole new desktop but I am not complaining!
32 GB is very healthy. What does the expert @[email protected] have to say?
That’s still a beast of a computer! i9!
