This is a list of the most difficult PC games in our opinion. We picked up projects in various genres, but, of course, could not include everything in a selection. To find other interesting games, recommend viewing the other tops on the site.

In the coming months after the release of the new console from Microsoft, many previously released games will receive a patch with graphics improvements.

PC-gaming is not limited to one desktop computer. These games will calmly be launched both on laptops and on outdated PCs.

Many of us were in a situation where you want to play PC-Taitle, and with you there is only a laptop that pulls only simple games.

Retired from the main list

Developer: Failbetter Games. Buy

Another game with a multitude of text inserts, which should start on any electronics to which the screen is built. This continued browser text adventure from Failbetter Games, which appeared more than more action, but the emphasis on history has been preserved. Explore the underground ocean in the world of the Victorian era, in which there is some kind of devilishness, then scroll your ship and start over again.

Developers: Dennaton Games. Buy

In her place could be any indie game, fully made in 2D. Why did we stop at Hotline Miami? First, because it is chic, and secondly - like most indie games, it will start on any device with a color display. But there is one important nuance: you need to play it with headphones or with speakers, because Hotline Miami is famous including a stunning soundtrack.

The most obvious candidate for hitting this list, but I just could not not include FTL here, because it is one of the best games of the genre "Another fight and I go to sleep." This space simulator invites us to take control of a spacecraft heading for an important mission. You will also competently allocate resources and break through the whole galaxy.

You can put the game on a pause at any time, which is very convenient if you downloaded it to your laptop, and simple graphics means the absence of lags and freezes. But note that you take the game with you on the road fraught with serious consequences ... After all, after each loss, you will probably want to hold at least one more fight.

Developer: Subset Games. Buy

This phenomenal, small strategic game, built at the order of moves, from the creators of FTL, the favorite game PC Gamer 2018. It also wants to rebuild, using different mechanical detachments and mastering new tactics. As we talked in your revocation: "demanding, painful, difficult and worthwhile game. In the small Into The Breach is placed a huge number of ideal strategy. "

Developer: Mega Crit Games Buy

The card game of the Roguelike genre, to which you quickly get used to. It uses a strategic beast of board games, which is united with the intricacies of games such as The Binding of ISAAC and Risk of Rain, in which the course of the game may be changed. If you get a good combination, you can become a terrible card God. As the best Roguelike and board games, Slay The Spire gives the players an absolute pleasure when you get a destructive combo.

The enemies that previously seemed threatening, now fall in front of you on your knees. This game has fun to go over again and again due to the fact that you can unlock: stronger cards for each type of deck, as well as protagonists, whose games are different from each other.

Developer: Wadjet Eye. Buy

New adventure game from Blackwell developers, Wadjet Eye, is one of their best creations. They have demons, exorcism, light role-playing elements that affect the stroke of the plot. Here is an excerpt from our reviews: "Unavowed - another fantastic adventure game from Wadjet Eye. Cool see the founder of the studio Dave Gilbert again on horseback. Humor did not always come to the taste, and the voice acting is not very places.

If you do not take it into account, it is an excellent example of a modern adventure point-and-click. Adding customization of the character and companions is little things, but they extremely strongly change the atmosphere of the game, even if other aspects, such as puzzles, and give the past. "

Developer: Buried Signal Buy

Brilliant puzzle, on the development and design of which the Creator Jason Roberts spent many years. According to his puzzles, Gorogoa tells an interesting story, thanks to which it stands out against the background of the rest of the representatives of the genre. As we have already written in a review on this game, "the plot is an interesting, ambiguous basis for the study of repetitive patterns. You try to create a solid picture from the existing parts, filling the gaps yourself ... Fantastic interaction of the plot and geimdizayna. "

Developer: Ludomotion.

Surprisingly inventive Roguelike, which will start even on computers with an integrated video card. UNEXPLORED retained complex and interrelated systems that did Roguelike-projects of the ASCII era playable, like magic scrolls and potions, which can be created independently. But here these elements are not filed in a text format, but in an intuitive interface.

Fights in the game are not step-by-step mode, but in real time. You can put the game pause to think about further actions, but you will also need a reaction to gracefully fire with enemies with your cold weapons (by the way, each type of attack has separate animation).

Real innovation UNEXPLORED concludes in the procedural generation of the history of the world connecting the dungeon and hinting at rivals, which we will meet in the future. Each dungeon here is truly a unique place with its own prehistory, which is extremely rare in this genre.

Developer: Asymmetric Buy

One of the most fun games of 2017 and, perhaps, the most fun RPG on our memory. In this project, you explore the world for the sake of new jokes, and not for the sake of Lute. Jokes here are scattered throughout the corners of the world, they are even in the settings menu, and find new jokes - solid pleasure. In addition, West of Loathing has a strong RPG component, and the game classes are very different from the standard - as you, for example, a bean thrower and a hunter on cows?

As we wrote in a review of the game: "Wash the water in the toilet for the sake of experience points, a highlights of the hay in search of a needle or go to the mine to find meat ore (meat in West of Loathing is the basis of the economy), and then insult your reflection in the mirror To enter the berserka mode and get a buff to the attack. And be sure to study every corner of West of Loathing, but not for the sake of pumping characteristics and new weapons, equipment and hats (which are more than 50!), And for the sake of endless jokes, each of which is funnier than the previous one. "

Developer: Studiomdhr. Buy

Perhaps the most beautiful game that can be launched on a laptop or weak computer. A distinctive feature of the project is hand-drawn and animated 2D graphics in the spirit of classic cartoons. Cuphead passes Hi Gunstar Heroes and other platforms from the 90s, offering us to fight with incredibly complex bosses, each of which has several phases.

If the defeats do not grieve you and ready to memorize the procedure for the bosses to overcome them, then you are waiting for a great pastime. What is only an amazing soundtrack and the visual style of the game, inspired by the animation of the beginning of the last century.

Developer: Tobyfox. Buy

The breakthrough game of 2015, which turned the entire RPG genre from legs on the head, is obliged to be popular with the fact that the game could be launched even on a toaster. And I do not want to say that she looks bad or what we did not like the gameplay. For those who are familiar with the laws of the RPG genre and beaten, occurring in every second game, UnderTale has become a bright, charming and delightful swan song, which makes us rethink all your game habits.

Go on a date with a skeleton, tame (or kill) dogs and think about the hardest fate of the mouse, deprived of cheese. Undertale will make you doubt each of your choices, except, of course, choosing purchases in local stores.

Developer: Red Hook Studios Buy

A brilliant and tense strategy where we have to wander through the dungeons, literally impregnated with the Spirit of Lovekraft, which is expressed in the ingenious feed of the plot and in frightening quests. When your detachment is found face to face with the horrors of the dungeons, his members are stressful, and the stronger stress, the higher the likelihood that the heroes will start losing the mind. All this creates a constant voltage.

What if a plaque doctor is the most reliable member of the squad, but he constantly insults his comrades, increasing their level of stress? The death of characters in Darkest Dungeon is usually furnished quite severely, but you will understand that it is not so easy to tear away from the game, even if you have just died in your eyes a whole squad of heroes.

Developer: Terrible Toybox. Buy

This is an adventure game of Point-and-Click genre from the author Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island Ron Gilbert. She is full of mysteries without any game of this direction, but it gives players freedom of movement and choice, so that you can always find a new way if you are stuck in some episode. In my review, I called it a "high-quality adventure with creative puzzles, strange, but attractive characters and an intriguing story with the nourism of mysticism."

Developer: Concernedape Buy

Indy-sensation, which moved farmers from Harvest Moon to PC expanses. Build your farm, turn it into a real vegetable empire, explore the world around the world, check for the neighbors, fall in love and create a family. In this game, quite simple graphics, so it is guaranteed to start on the laptop, besides, this is a great way to take yourself in long flights.

N ++.

Developer: Metanet Software. Buy

Cute platformer with billion levels. Well, in fact, there are fewer them. Approximately thousands, but if you consider all levels, which created models, then to a billion nearby. As I already wrote about N ++ immediately after the game appeared on the PC, "it's rather, the toy you take from time to getting a purely aesthetic pleasure. Perhaps one of the most pleasant feels of platforms. "

Developer: Suspicious Developments Buy

Created by the former editor of PC Gamer Tom Francis, who had previously released gunpoint, the game Heat Signature is a project, gameplay in which consists of secretive penetration on space ships and battles with the crews of these ships, where everything goes on hand. In our review on the game, we wrote this: "Heat Signature encourages creativity, constantly increasing the complexity, as it relys to a good immersive SIM.

I am constantly sharing with friends of incredible robbery, in which all decisions were taken on a hot head. Heat Signature can create a lot of memorable situations in the procedural generated universe. "

Developer: Inxile Entertainment Buy

Continued Planescape: Torment? It sounded too well to be true, however, Inxile's studio took the engine on which Obsidian built her Pillars of Eternity, and recreated the world TORMENT in the RPG format, where almost everything was preserved for which we loved the original. Fortunately for all owners of laptops, the game is not particularly demanding to the gland, and therefore anyone can familiarize himself with it.

In our review, we wrote the following: "A unhurried start smoothly flows into a deep adventure in the memorable setting. Excellent continuation of the classic RPG. "

Developers: Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl Buy

The original version of the game looks like she could start on anything, but, which is strange, it used the entire power of the processor, overloading the system. Her remote called Rebirth quite comfortably feels like weak computers and laptops, thanks to a new engine that gave us a new visual style, wider rooms and a lot of new content.

2D games like The Binding Of ISAAC: Rebirth are usually developed just for weak systems, and if you have a game with procedural generation of items and rooms in which you have only one life, be sure to pay attention to Dungeons of Dredmor, Spelunky, FTL and Rogue Legacy. And when you hope hopelessly to this drug, go to additions for The Binding Of Isaac: I'm talking about Afterbirth and Afterbirth.

Developer: Valve. Buy

I could include almost any game on the Source engine, since it works great on outdated systems in modern standards. (Perhaps because he himself is already outdated). Half-Life 2 with all new visual modes is no longer suitable for this category, while Portal 2 remains one of the funny and inventive puzzles, even if you play it with a resolution of 800 × 600 and the lowest graphics settings.

In the end, there are not trendy visual effects, and the stunning voice acting Stephen Murchanta, J. K. Simmons and Ellen Macmene, as well as the episode with potato.

Developer: Mojang. Buy

Most often, laptop owners set the same question online: "Does Minecraft start on it?" And the answer to it is simple: "Most likely, yes." The cubic world from Mojang is not very demanding for systems, and it is ideal for killing in it a couple of hours - especially if an urgent article is hanging about games with low system requirements.

Recently, it is usually played on tablets, consoles or smartphones, but you can download a set of mods and recent updates, and then run it on your PC. By reference you will find.

Developer: Firaxis Games. Buy

If you choose games for your obsolete computer, then it is better to stay on the Civilization series, namely on the penultimate part. But do not blame us that the game will tighten you so much that you will forget about sleep and breakfasts, trying to erase the cunning gandhi from the face of the earth. The fourth part works great on the laptop, and if your gadget pulls this game, then you should look at the other similar games - for example, on the Fantasy Endless Legend from Amplitude Studios and Age of Wonders III from Triumph.

Developer: Sega. Buy

What is the good game of 2008? By the fact that it was released in 2008, and therefore she does not need a powerful gaming system. Valkyria Chronicles is an excellent tactical RPG, which largely resembles the XCOM reboot from the Firaxis studio. And beautiful artistic style on PC looks just fascinating. This is one of those JRPG, which should try out every fan of the genre (here can include Trails In The Sky and the Y series from Falcom).

Developer: TECHNOCRAT GAMES. Buy

Studio Wadjet Eye Together with the publisher Adventure Game Studio continues to produce high-quality modern adventures that modestly require the "Pentium or higher" processor. If you read this article not with a pager, then a high probability that you can run Technobabylon from Technocrat Games. You are waiting for the adventure of the Point-and-Click genre in Setting Cyberpunk, whose action unfolds in the near future. (By reference you will find a complete review.)

Developer: Klei Entertainment Buy

The studio Klei was able to master the first attempt by releasing the Mark of the Ninja - a bright platformer with Ninji in the lead role, which easily bypass most of the three-dimensional stealth games. And you will not need a powerful gaming system to run it - he is surprisingly launched even on old PCs.

Developer: Taleworlds Entertainment Buy

On most resources, the Taleworlds Mount & Blade project is described as a "role-playing strategy with elements of sandbox and simulator", and this is one of those games that acquired a decent number of fans that even a few years after the release continue to play it.

You should stop your choice on Warband if you firmly decided to fight with riding gangsters on a horse (in fact, it is all the same original, but with additional content). Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord promises to us more advanced graphics, but if you are not confused by an outdated visual, then Warband couple with all the mods hobble you for many months.

Developer: Infinite Fall Buy

Touching and seats are a sad story about crimes, the disclosure of secrets and attempts to fit into someone else's and cold world. Night in the Woods attracts not so much with his own riddles as long and deep characters, as well as a melancholic atmosphere. Walk along the power lines, fool with old buddies, disappoint your parents and fight against the system.

At first the pace of the game will seem too slow you, but over time you will get used to. If you have a long road in front of the train, and the shower is shine outside the window, then you can not find the best game.

Developer: 2 × 2 Games Buy

Let you do not deceive a cute appearance of units: This is a serious strategy on the topic of World War II, the action of which unfolds on the Eastern Front. Of course, a cute interface is confused, and at first glance, it is possible and not to understand that we have a deep military game in front of us. If you have long wanted to try this genre, but you have always scared too detailed menus, then Unity can be your first step in the sphere of military games.

Developer: INKLE, CAPE GUY Buy

80 Days is a great retelling of the classics from Jules Verne "around the world for 80 days," and most of the time you will spend on reading. This novella is fairly marked for one of the best playing scenarios of 2015, in which there are elements of the strategy - you need to independently make a route of your trip. I recommend to run it on a laptop to fully appreciate the artistic style, it is easy to read the text and always carry it with me, progressing time on the road or waiting.

Developer: Noumenon Games. Buy

Snakebird is another game that is trying to mislead our cute artistic style. In fact, it is one of the most difficult puzzles in the history of the genre. The mechanic itself is quite simple - move the heroes in the level to eat all the fruits, and then head to the exit, but the design of puzzles makes it surprise, because even at first glance, simple levels can be a task for several hours.

If you do not strain a ceremony, Snakebird is simply obliged to become your pocket game.

Developer: Yacht Club Games Buy

When you accidentally rush to Shovel Knight, you understand that I found a real treasure. This emotion is comparable to the feeling when you are drunk in the collection of old games for NES who have bought more parents, and for the first time you find Mega Man or Ducktales. But this game is much better because there are more secrets in it, more interesting mechanics and more unexpected art techniques, for which games from the 8-bit era simply were not capable of.

Being difficult, but a fair to the player, Shovel Knight pleases us with a convenient control, which is wonderful approaches the keyboard. And its stylistics under the 8-bit projects of the past implies compatibility with any computers and laptops.

Developer: Spike Chunsoft Co., Ltd., ABSTRACTION GAMES Buy

I try not to overdo it with visual novels, but Danganronpa definitely deserved a place in the list, since this is one of the most discussed and insane Japanese recent years. Two games from the series are included at once: Trigger Happy Havoc and Goodbye Despair.

And my review I tried to briefly describe the plot of the first part: "Mad and perverted villain named Monocum, which appears in the manual of a mechanical bear, catches students of the school and makes them play a terrible game. The only way to leave this place or, as he says, "become a graduate" is to kill another student. " And put everything at the highest level.

Developer: Obsidian entertainment Buy

The CRPG industry is reborn again, which should please all gamers with weak computers. Some games like a luxurious and fully three-dimensional Divinity: Original Sin are obtained slightly demanding to systems, while the rest squeeze the maximum from the Infinity Engine engine without loading the computers of the players.

Thanks to the pre-degenerate rear lights and relatively modest visual effects of Pillars of Eternity, it is started on average machines. Yes, its requirements are slightly higher than that of Baldur's Gate's or Planescape: Torment's, but on the very beginning you get a pleasant game that does not require the installation of additional visual modes. Read our full review on the RPG from Obsidian in the spirit of old projects, and pay attention to Shadowrun: Dragonfall from the studio Harebrained Schemes.

Developer: Blizzard Play

While you have Wi-Fi, you can easily fight in the Blizzard card game, which is still considered the king of the genre on PC. Regularly overcoming updates allow Hearthstone not to lose relevance. In addition, it is completely free (with the exception of the in-game store), so you can start playing right now.

The release of each new game is necessarily accompanied by issues on the forums about its optimization: gamers It is important to know how well the project works on various configurations and how effectively the computer resources will use.

Well optimized game is a game that demonstrates a stable frame rate on low and high-performance systems, has a wide range of settings, and also scales performance with an increase in PC power - that is, and on a weak system will show an acceptable FPS indicator, and the top computer will load per 100 %, with a corresponding improvement in the picture.

Overwatch

Every year we sum up for the PC platform, presenting a list of the most optimized games. Over the past years, a large amount of information has accumulated and we decided to collect it in one article so that everything is easier to find optimized RS games. A total of more than 60 games on our list, so sit down comfortably and went!

What games are considered good-optimized?

But first of all, we announce the rules according to which projects falling into our field of view are determined.

High brake games? Old computer? We are repelled from the technical condition of the release version of the game: there should be no departure, brakes, gameplate bugs and graphics artifacts, since the buyer must immediately get a quality product, and not to download a bunch of patches for another half a year, to finally play normally.

But, given the current state of the magnitude, we give the chance to the game, the problems in which were quickly eliminated by the first patch and they fight on par with those games that they did not have special technical problems at the time of release. All others are immediately excluded.

The remaining in the list of games carefully considers productivity scaling - as far as the project discloses the potential of a video card, the processor and the computer system as a whole, how performance grows with a transition to new and more advanced architectures.

An important advantage can be the presence of a large number of settings, because thanks to them the user is able to adjust the performance of the game under its system. For example, working with the settings, sometimes you can significantly increase the FPS and almost not losing as a picture - it is logical that such projects get an advantage.

The final list is designed in such a way that there are best-scale games in it, with the smallest number of technical problems at the time of exit, with a large number of settings. We try to the list that are popular and relevant for different systems projects and when it is compiled, we do not judge what kind of game from our list is better than or from what an estimate is higher.

Thirdly, the quality of graphics came to the extent, as it seemed, the level. Genre variety will allow everyone to find the game at Wis.

Most Optimized Games 2015 for RS

But 2015 it turned out very flexible - high-quality ports turned out only for long-distance, that is, those games that were developed for 3-5 years. Almost all of our list consists of them and this is just a coincidence that in 2015 we saw a parade of long-term prison.
