EVE Online. still after all these years (23) it's still a beautiful game that I god damn am still addicted to.

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

I'm so sorry, brother. I escaped 7 years ago.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (emulated)

[-] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 6 months ago

The Trine series is really pretty and even the newest entry has relatively modest hardware requirements.

ut'99 baby. full game with healthy stack of mods would be maybe a gig or two. would look and play well on most types of computational vegetation. ok, yeah UT2004 would also look nice and play in most potatoes.

i listed more but then I looked and it showed my age so I deleted them and focused on unreal ya whippersnappers.

My potato from 15 years ago could in fact not run if (fluently; had like 15 fps).

The original Talos Principle, easily one of the most stunning games I've played.
By the time I reached the desert stages I would regularly just stop and look around, soaking it in.
Damnit I need to buy a VR headset just to play it again in VR!

Phenomenal call, well met stranger.

[-] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

Not the same as any of these, but I always felt Spyro had a beauty to it, even if it is a bright and colourful one.

[-] bort@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 months ago

for the 2nd requirments, I guess it falls into any of these categories

  • old games (e.g. HL2, Doom2016)
  • indigames (e.g. Hades, Cuphead)
  • 2D games (e.g. Disco Elysium)

The PS4 is hardly a potato, no?

[-] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 months ago

And the PS4 can hardly run Bloodborne (to my standards)

[-] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

I’m glad to see other Bloodborne PC enjoyers on here. I spent a weekend getting mine set up and I just beat The One Reborn. Not a perfect experience, but it’s been pretty great so far.

Donkey Kong Country on the SNES.

Valheim if you want something newer

[-] Sustolic@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Valheim is considerably demanding imo, have to play the game at 1080p to get a decent and consistent frame rate on my 5700 XT
