I haven't catched up on games after 2016, so sharing some good low to medium-spec titles: Resident Evil 4: old-school controls but great gameplay with lots of easter eggs. Can easily rack up hundreds of hours. Battlefield 3: typical US

A high-end PC, a childhood dream I waited a decade for(then another year for the GPU prices to drop). I no longer have to: - wait for minutes for the OS to load - limit the number of chrome tabs open - choose a lightweight code editor - pla
