The most anticipated PC game releases
Among the titles planned for 2021, it is worth keeping an eye on Lost Ark, an online game which is already well known in Japan, South Korea and Russia but which will land this fall in the West thanks to Amazon Games. It will be fully translated into French (texts and voices), which is rather good news. Remember that this is a free title (but with in-app purchases) that mixes action and role-playing in a most seductive fantasy universe. How not to also mention Halo Infinite, which is expected at the end of the year (without further details). After a disappointing presentation of the single player mode last year, it showed itself in 2021 through its multiplayer mode. This episode has no other choice but to present concrete armed gameplay as well asa top-notch achievement in order to restore its image. If we look to 2022, we can already notice a great range of games to watch out for. A year that will hit hard from January 22 with Elden Ring, the new project from FromSoftware. The studio is particularly famous for the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne and Sekiro. We therefore end up with a production combining action and role-playing, as with the other hits of the house. The gameplay is again very demanding and the universe gloomy at will. Already attractive from his proposal, Elden Ring intrigues even more when we know that George RR Martin, the author of the Game of Thrones novels, imagined the outlines of this universe. The Final Fantasy brand will also be talked about in 2022, with the astonishing Stranger of Paradise:Final Fantasy Origin. Set during the events of the series' very first installment, this spinoff episode features three Heroes of the Light: Jack, Ash and Jed. Draped in a rather gloomy atmosphere, the game opts for a certain depth of gameplay with a combat system that is as dynamic as it is sharp. An easy mode is nevertheless provided for those who want to have a good time without getting too much hair. Another production of choice to finish, and which will undoubtedly be talked about next year: Starfield. Developed at Bethesda (Fallout, Skyrim) with a launch date of November 11, 2022, Starfield is a role-playing game set in a science fiction universe.We are promised a particularly advanced game system and the choice between a first or third person view.
What are the best PC games, the must-have games?
Along with recent and future releases, we should not forget the hits that have marked the history of the PC in recent years. With the influx of games never stopping, it's entirely possible to have missed a nugget or two. Great titles which have enough to roll mechanics against more modern productions and which also have the advantage of posting a very attractive price. Starting with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Bethesda's star action role-playing game. Adapted on a bewildering number of machines since its release in 2011, the PC version remains a sure bet and offers an experience that is as captivating as ever. Let's stay in the same genre of game with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt from CD Projekt RED, another famous representative of the action / role-playing genre that was theone of the events of 2015. It remains undoubtedly one of the heavyweights in its category with its adult themes, its captivating scenario and its open world with splendid settings (which still amaze you). Don't hesitate to take on the role of Witcher Geralt of Rivia, you won't regret it! Still in the category of open world games, let us quote two absolute references from Rockstar: Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) and Red Dead Redemption II. Released on PC in 2015 and 2019 respectively, these two monuments that we no longer present are a must-see. The PC is also the FPS machine and in this very large family it is not easy to keep only a few members. But some inevitably stand out more than others,like the Doom reboot released in 2016 (and whose Doom Eternal sequel was released in 2020). A flamboyant tribute to id Software's original Doom, this explosive action pinnacle can't be ignored if you're into the genre at least. How not to cite another FPS that has also made such progress in the genre: Half-Life 2 (from Valve). Its universe, its plot and its many interactions (much more extensive than in the productions of the time) make it a major page in the history of video games that you absolutely must consult. Still at Valve, it is inconceivable not to quote Portal (2007) and its sequel Portal 2 (2011). These FPS top-level puzzle games require you to solve various puzzles by creating portals that have the power to teleport you from one surface to another.And then there is the title that transcends the generations: Minecraft! A hymn to creativity, Minecraft has only one limit: your imagination. Both a construction and an adventure game, this open world is in a way a box of LEGO 2.0 as the possibilities are endless.
Which PC to choose for video game fans?
As we have seen, the offer in terms of video games is abundant on the PC. But it is still necessary to obtain a machine capable of accommodating all this small world. The first question to ask yourself is whether to turn to a laptop or a desktop PC. In both cases, there are beautiful powerful machines between 1000 and 1500 €. Enough to run the latest big productions without too many worries. After that, it all depends on your habits and your way of playing. The advantage of a portable machine obviously lies in the great freedom it offers in terms of mobility. So you can enjoy your favorite tracks not only at home but also outdoors, wherever you are.Especially since some models combine fairly fine lines with a beautiful on-board power. We advise you to take a look at the gaming-oriented laptops offered by manufacturers Omen, Alienware, Asus or MSI. The only drawback with a laptop PC comes from its hardware environment, which is difficult to tamper with. Changing the graphics card, for example, requires a lot more handling than with a good big desktop PC. For the latter, changing a card or a hard drive is already much easier. The possibilities of development are indeed greater and the playing comfort inevitably wins. You can choose a really gigantic screen size if you feel like it, combined with other accessories of your choice. For a desktop PC armed for video games, Asus,Acer or Millenium have great configurations for you.
How to optimize your PC for games?
To make sure you have the power you need to make the most of the latest headlines, you need to turn to the processor first. So that your future war machine can't show any signs of weakness on the battlefield, aim for an Intel Core i5, i7 or i9 from Intel. On the AMD side, choose a good Ryzen 5 or 7. Then, you have to make sure that the hard drive is indeed an SSD model. Because with it you benefit from minimal loading times and ultra-fast data transmission. Finally, let's not forget one of the essential factors when you are a lover of beautiful games: the management of light and everything that revolves around the display. Here, no hesitation, you have to turn to a recent RTX graphics card in order to take advantage of thelighting in ray tracing mode. If you're not building your computer yourself and aiming for a ready-to-use gaming PC, feel free to take a look at the spec sheet posted on the relevant vendor's site. There you will find all the details about the processor, graphics card, hard drive and everything else. Obviously, depending on your budget, it is always possible to boost the on-board power and storage capacities as much as possible. As said above, with a range between 1000 and 1500 € you already have plenty to do. Of course, if you can go beyond that, your PC will perform better.There you will find all the details about the processor, graphics card, hard drive and everything else.
