In addition to «Kerchief» and «Spider».
Even if you do not have a gaming computer (with a backlight), this does not mean that you need to sit and not play anything. There are a lot of projects that don’t need a super powerful PC — they just don’t belong to the action-RPG-looter-shooter-whatever genre.
We have collected games that will run even on old laptops.
If your PC can’t handle these games, then try your hand at mobile gaming. And you can find the game you like in the AppGallery!
Shooting
It’s great when the game has nice shooting. It is doubly wonderful when an interesting plot is added to the mechanical pleasure. Or it’s convenient to play online with other people if you like the competitive moment.
Max Payne
Zero masterpiece. A grinning Finnish face puts down crowds of enemies in slow motion. We add here the beautiful tragic story of the protagonist, who, after the murder of his wife and child, has nothing to lose, mix it with the noir style — and we get a cult game. Narcotic dreams are worth a special mention — as a child, I had nightmares because of them. Shooting is as pleasant as possible, jumping in slow motion is a pleasure.
System requirements: 450 MHz AMD/Intel, 96 MB RAM (128 MB RAM or more recommended) and 16 MB video card.
Fortnite
Favorite game of your children and nephews. In it you can both shoot and build your fortress! The cartoony, colorful style adds a touch of flair to the game, and constant collaborations with giants like Marvel have kept the game at the top for a long time. You will need the Internet to play, because you are playing against other people.
System requirements: Core i3-3225 3.3 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Intel HD 4000 graphics card.
World of Tanks
Your father’s favorite game. Tank battle simulator, thousands of historically accurate tanks. Need internet.
System requirements: Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, GeForce 6800 video card.

BioShock Infinite
Many gamers met their first love in this game in the face of the protagonist’s girlfriend Elizabeth. A twisted plot, coupled with unusual but beautiful graphics and an unusually beautiful Elizabeth made the game very popular.
System requirements: Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 560 graphics card.
Max Payne 3
The last part of the great game. It was impossible to repeat the success of the first part, but the third one was remembered for its absolutely crazy shooting and the number of enemies that are just going through the roof.
System requirements: Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 520 MB graphics card.

Call of Duty 1-4
The first parts of the famous series are dedicated to the Second World War, but in the fourth — Call of Duty: Modern Warfare — the action takes place today. By the name you can understand (Modern — modern) that the game uses modern means of warfare. Personally, I have always been pleased to play parts about the Second World War, but the fourth part at one time became a real hit.
System requirements: 2.4 GHz, 512 MB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 6600 video card.
Battlefield 1942
Shooter, for which I spent more than a dozen hours at different difficulty levels. You can go through the campaign as allies, and for the «bad». The cards «Omaha Beach» and «Berlin» will forever remain in the heart.
System requirements: 500 MHz, 128 MB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 2 graphics card with 32 MB of memory.

RPG
RPG is a genre where you play as a certain character (created by you or ready-made, like Geralt from The Witcher), you upgrade it at your own discretion, your decisions affect the plot and stuff like that. My favourite genre! Some games can hardly be classified as RPGs, but you definitely can’t attribute them to shooters either.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The legendary game by Todd Howard, released on all possible platforms. An endless number of mods, an interesting plot (you are a dragonborn, you must kill an ancient dragon and save the world), a million side quests, several additions — you can write endlessly about this game. After downloading it, you can lose the real world for a week or two.
System requirements: 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 512 MB graphics card.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Cyberpunk healthy person. A fascinating story that can be completed in many ways (you can complete the game without killing a single enemy!). Lots of cool stuff like invisibility, computer hacking, boosted jumps. And, of course, «I never asked for this».
System requirements: Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, GeForce 8800 GTS video card.
Assassin’s Creed
If you’re worried that your PC or laptop won’t run the latest Assassins, don’t worry! You can always download the first parts of the cult series, because they are not much different from modern ones. The second part is especially good — Ezio Auditore walks around Rome, befriends Leonardo da Vinci and hunts the Templars.
System requirements: Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 256 MB graphics card.
Witcher 1.2
I went through the third part on YouTube, because the laptop did not pull it. But the first two — calmly! The first The Witcher is tough because of the weird combat system, but if you love the universe itself, you’ll love it. The second part at one time received universal approval, just against the backdrop of the grandiose success of the Wild Hunt, everyone forgot about it. And the game is worth it! I consider the main character to be the main advantage — Geralt has crazy charisma, it’s just nice to play for him.
System requirements: Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 512 MB graphics card.
Fallout 3
The first 3D game in the series. Against the background of the ambiguous last parts, it now looks like a real masterpiece. The post-apocalyptic atmosphere is excellent. Something like Skyrim.
System requirements: 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 256 MB graphics card.
Batman Arkham City
A diamond for fans of comics and Batman in particular.
System requirements: Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 512 MB graphics card.
Mass Effect 2
Space Saga is one of Elon Musk’s favorite games. Charismatic Captain Shepard in the role of a galactic «solver», a plot worthy of a separate book, different options for passing. Everything we love!
System requirements: Core 2 Duo 2.6 GHz, 2 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card.
Strategies
Do you like to manage entire cities, nations, civilizations? Thinking through everything 5 steps ahead? Then this genre is for you.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3-5
The immortal third «Heroes» are popular even 20 years after the release. If you want more beautiful graphics and more impact from the hero himself, then feel free to download the fifth part. She undeservedly remained in the shadow of the third part. Rebuild your castle, recruit an army, pump magic or protection against it — and go!
System requirements: 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 128 MB graphics card.
Civilization 3-5
One of the best strategies of all time. You start as a certain nation of two people (a settler and a warrior / scout), build a country, manage the economy. You can be the aggressor and capture as much territory as possible, you can win through scientific achievements, or you can make the culture of your country so attractive that others want to be like you. Plenty of options — your choice. The game begins many years before our era, and ends with the appearance of spaceships, nuclear bombs and the creation of the UN.
System requirements: Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 256 MB graphics card.
Warcraft 3
Unlike the previous two games, here you control a certain race (humans, undead, orcs, elves) in real time. That is, you can do nothing, and after 5-10 minutes you will simply be destroyed by enemies. The campaign is a separate topic, the storyline of Arthas in the heart forever!
System requirements: 400 MHz, 128 MB RAM, DirectX 8.1 graphics card.
Racing/Sport Simulation
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
In my childhood, only Need for Speed: Underground (great game!), But Most Wanted was a real hit. Beautiful graphics for those times, cool cars, chases from the police, time dilation, an interesting plot — a great game!
System requirements: Quad-Core, 4 GB RAM, 1 GB graphics card.
FIFA Online 4
The main feature of this Fifa is that it is free!
System requirements: 3.1 GHz, 4 GB RAM, graphics card with 1 GB of memory.
Download FIFA Online 4 on PC now for free on the official website
FIFA 2005/PES 2009
Why did I combine these two games? Because they are both old and both very cool. The main raisin in FIFA 2005 is free kicks with a scope. The main feature of PES 2009 is a very realistic control, cool long-range shots and fairly simple dribbling.
System requirements: 1.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM, GeForce 6800 GT video card.
Goodbye real world!
Dota 2
You heard about this game. Heard stories of your classmates staying home for days playing this game. It is really good if you understand the basic principles and mechanics. Just remember that Dota is just a game. In general, it is better to play it with friends — then you will get the maximum buzz from the process.
System requirements: Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz, 4 GB RAM, GeForce 8600 video card.
League of Legends
Dota-like game. The main goal is the same — to destroy the building of the enemy.
System requirements: Intel Core i3, 1 GB RAM, AMD Radeon 9600 graphics card.
skyforge
Divine MMORPG in the style of techno-fantasy. Scaporge is literally divine — players will try to try on the role of a powerful god and create their own cult, saving the world from terrible invaders, the undead and other hellish creatures along the way.

System requirements: Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 512 MB graphics card.

GTA games
I decided to put Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, San Andreas and GTA 4 in a separate paragraph. Why? Probably because these games are racing, shooters, and RPGs at the same time. When the phrase «computer game» comes to mind, it is the games of the GTA series that immediately come to mind. Just play any of the parts — you yourself will understand everything.
System requirements: Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, 256 MB graphics card.
