For a while now I've been trying to get back into gaming because I realized it's actually better for your mental health than being constantly online on social media

I was a big gamer kid growing up but then playing single-player games turned into only occasionally playing CS:GO with my friends and then turned into not playing at all

My PC is the same PC I have had for at least 10 years. I only replaced my graphics card 6 or so years ago.

I finally found some time to download some of the games I had on my Epic Games account and currently I'm playing GTA 5 for the first time

It's pretty great and I love how I can easily run this on my PC even tho it's old af (for example NBA 2k21 isn't working)

What games do you recommend for someone who slept through last 5 years and has an okay PC but nothing great (so Cyberpunk and s*** like this is out of the picture)?

I like games that feel like movies so a bit of action and a good storyline. I don't like games that are just "kill 100 zombies" "next level: kill 200 zombies"

I bought Disco Elysium so I have this for later

Portal 2

Use GeForce now to play modern games. It's like netflix for gaming, you're streaming the games from a high-end pc. I use it and it works really good. You just need to own the game.

the witcher 3
