for more great content for this list
we’re looking at some truly great games
that still perform well on toasters this
game needs to run smoothly and perform
well
so minecraft will not be included as it
honestly doesn’t run nearly as well as
you’d think on some old stuff
number 10 Team Fortress 2
P Fortress 2 was released way back in
2007 so it’s not exactly like you’ll be
playing the freshest title out there
that said due to its addictive gameplay
and numerous updates Team Fortress 2
still has a more than healthy community
on PC
luckily for those of you with crappy
computers you can still jump in and
enjoy the fun as it doesn’t require all
that much to run if you turn down your
screen resolution and delete unnecessary
background elements the game will run
very easily sure it might not look
fantastic but it’s more than playable
number nine this war of mine
[Music]
this war of mine is a game developed by
11-bit studios and it follows the
civilian aspect of wartime struggles
players control a group of survivors and
must endure until a ceasefire is
declared by gathering groups and
materials and maintaining your
character’s health
it’s an enormous leap powerful game
thanks to its story elements and
downbeat visual style and it’s
absolutely worth playing even if you
have a low-end PC you really don’t need
to max the settings to experience the
emotions that the game brings and it’s
not exactly a graphical showpiece to
begin with just throw it on and lose
yourself in the experience number 8
hotline Miami
[Music]
the game that reinvigorated 80s synth
music for a new generation
along with pixelated blood hotline Miami
sees you controlling an unnamed
protagonist as they brutally slaughter
everyone in a given room but seriously
music alone is like 80% of the reason to
play this one thanks to its retro style
graphics it really doesn’t need a whole
lot to run so you can easily play on a
crummy old laptop should you have one
line around PC gaming doesn’t need to be
extravagant and online Miami proves it
number seven stardew valley star D
valley has a little bit of everything
it’s primarily a farming simulator which
sees you fixing up your old inherited
farm land but it also includes cooking
fishing interacting with NPCs and
exploring procedurally generated caves
for resources it’s a fantastic little
game filled to the brim with charming
things to do and you guessed it it can
be played on your potato rake it’s the
laid-back game and requires next to
nothing to play any laptop from the
previous few years we’ll run it without
breaking a sweat
[Music]
[Applause]

number 6 darkest dungeon beneath those
ancient ruins in the Muar
that calls out to the boat just among
the darkest dungeon is a neat little
indie game that sees you control a band
of heroes who dungeon crawl through
dungeons underneath the Gothic mansion a
unique twist on the formula is their
characters stress levels you have to
keep your characters healthy and calm
where else
a lot of afflictions may incur it’s a
punishing game but in the right ways
think of it as a from software title for
your laptop unlike those games however
this one requires very little to run and
can be easily played on dated Hardware
due to the less than demanding
requirements
these nightmarish creatures can be felt
they can be beaten number five
undertale for sure you know all about
undertale by now so we’ll spare you all
the details but needless to say if the
game is universally loved due to its
complex and thematic writing its unique
combat system and its score it’s one of
gaming’s most original titles and years
and best movies of all it’s very easily
accessible even to those of you holding
on to the most outdated of technology
the game’s primitive graphics means that
it can easily run on any old PC you’re
doing yourself a disservice if you
haven’t tried it yet
[Music]
number four FTL faster than light
[Music]
luckily for us FTL faster-than-light
requires so little in terms of graphics
and space that it could probably run on
an Atari okay
maybe not but you get the point right
this game can be played on the potato
whist of potatoes it hits so much fun
that you won’t even notice how simple it
is it’s one of the few highly successful
titles to come from Kickstarter and it
balls a space crafts crew as they try to
defend themselves from invading fleets
and other space hazards it’s a great
game for those with imagination and who
fancy themselves as a bit of a Captain
Kirk or Picard he was better number
three The Binding of Isaac
[Music]
this indie game was released six years
ago and chances are you’ll have new
problems running it the game has you
controlling Isaac for one of the many
unlockable characters as they battle
monsters in his mother’s basement the
game is extremely replayable due to the
vast amounts power-ups and the
procedurally generated dungeon which
helps make the roguelike gameplay more
interesting for a new generation
it runs on basically anything and can
even be played with a simple laptop
keyboard its sixth ream Lee primitive
and simple but it’s also really good
number two Counter Strike global
Offensive if you can stomach the rather
colorful community that plagues this
game then global Offensive is an
absolute must play one of the best and
most popular multiplayer titles on the
market today
and it’s extremely simple to find a game
through the high amount to be playing if
you want to get in on one of peace and
gaming hottest titles but here you go
sure you may not be able to run it on
the dustiest of old laptops like most of
the games on this list but with a few
tweaks and setting adjustments low-end
pcs should have no problem with running
this stellar title
before we unveil our top picks here are
a few honorable mentions
[Music]
number one League of Legends let’s face
it counterstrikes community seems like
it’s run by mother Teresa when Pitt
against the hell that is League of
Legends that being said you could simply
ignore the noxious players and enjoy one
of the most popular games of this
generation this is one of the best MOBAs
on the market and it remains wildly
popular to this day which is no doubt
helped by the low system requirements
needed to play it a simple old laptop
will meet minimum requirements and while
it might not excel in performance it’ll
be highly enjoyable that way nonetheless
