Alarms are sounding loudly while the room is lit up red with the pulses of the alert. Smoke is rising and the lieutenant is screaming what your orders are. “Captain, Captain?” You reply, “Full impulse! Hit them with everything we have!” As the smoke rises on the bridge, you look out upon the starship that could very well be the last thing you ever see. The ship flares up in a brilliant explosion as you roar past, and looking over your crew, you sit back down in the captain’s chair, with a sigh of relief. “Previous heading helmsman…” This is what it is like to be in the captain’s chair of your very own star ship in FTL: Faster than Light, an amazing space top down strategy/rogue-like game. You take on the role of a captain/commander of a Federation (not Star Trek) ship, bent on reaching your destination, where you must deliver vital information on the Rebel forces that are chasing you across the galaxy.
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.
