Last week we published a guide with 18 PC games that we can enjoy completely free of charge. It was very successful and we are not surprised, after all, many of our readers are looking for games with them enliven the days we have left from detentionand I know that most of you use the PC to play.
For this reason, I was encouraged to share a new guide for PC games with you, although this time I focused on collecting overall 25 games with few requirements and good graphics they are very worthwhile. Not all are free, but most have time and can be bought for very little money, which makes them a highly recommended option.
It's not a good time to update a PC's components, that's for sure, but don't worry if you're looking for PC games and have a little powerful device There are many titles to choose from. This selection of 25 titles is only a small part of the huge catalog that is available on numerous platforms such as Steam.
In general, almost all games released until 2016 will run smoothly on an older PC if you have minimal component configuration that fits this basic model:
- Windows 7 64-bit.
- Core 2 Quad Q6600 or AMD Phenom II X4 900 processor.
- 4 GB RAM.
- GTX 460 graphics card with 1 GB graphics memory or Radeon HD 5850 with 1 GB graphics memory.
The configuration we gave as an example was considered to be Middle class in 2010, Start date of the GTX 400 series, so it is a typical PC that is older than ten years and the cost of which is today It would not even reach 100 euros.
This is the basis we used as a reference for this selection of games with few requirements. They will all work smoothly On a PC that meets these minimum requirements, some can run even on computers with less powerful hardware, but this level guarantees a really good experience.

Despite all the technical calculations, it is excellent and remains one of the PC games with better graphics quality and fewer requirements.

20. The King of Fighters XIII
We change the genre a bit and we go for a classic 2D fighting game no introduction is required. At this rate, SNK gave new life to one of its most famous franchise companies and the result was excellent.
Gameplay preserves the charm of the classics from the nineties and the graphic finish is excellent, both for the level of detail of the characters and settings as well as for the animations. I just squeak a little overly muscular design for some characters, but it's more a matter of taste than anything else.

Another of the best PC games in the horror genre. It was a very strange start at the time, as he set the backdrop in a spaceship and moved away from the idea of killing enemies with headshots to bet on a much wilder approach: dismember them.
Thanks to his good surroundings and his excellent artistic direction, he has aged quite well.
Minimum requirements:
- Windows 7 or higher.

23. Resident Evil Remaster HD
The remake of the first Resident Evil was an exclusive game cube at that time. The revised HD edition landed on a variety of platforms, and I have to say that Capcom has achieved the graphic finish it was almost perfect.
The scenes remastered in HD and the characters show a level of detail that is so good that it is hypnotic in some scenes. Essential.

It doesn't matter whether you played the previous ones or not, as it is not directly related to them, although the idea of decaying city as the central pillar on which the action takes place.

25. Dark Souls II
One of the best games in the franchise and also one of the most complete, mostly because of the large amount of DLCs he received. On a graphical level, it doesn't look as good as Dark Souls III, but in return it is much less demanding and still has a fantastic design and some pretty good graphics.
As every title in the Souls saga offers a very big challenge with moments of frustration that will captivate us for hours. It remains one of the best PC games.
Minimum requirements:
- Windows 7 or higher.
- Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 X2 at 3 GHz.
