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

No problem. It’s easy enough:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

32 GB is very healthy. What does the expert @[email protected] have to say?

That’s still a beast of a computer! i9!

For slight further clarification on part 2, when checking for the GPU in device manager, it will be listed under “Display adapters”.
