PC Gaming

Of course no mention of MSRP.

I play mostly sci-fi games but I enjoy a good ol' swordfighting once in a while.

What could you suggest as a good single player action game with melee and maybe a dash of spellcasting/"powers" ? It can be TPS or FPS

Although it should (here comes the nitpicking) :

• not be a stealth game or stealth-adjacenr like Assassin's Creed or Shadow Of Mordor
• not be a souls-like (I play for fun, not to puke blood)
• have health regen (at least out of combat) or any mean to heal without having to look after potions or food while out of combat

If possible a good story would be a major plus, but it doesn't need to be The Witcher level of good. And I'm more than fine with AA games, or older games as long as the art direction is nice.

EDIT: thanks for the suggestions, I realize I should have mentionned the "similar" games I've already played :

• The Witcher trilogy
• Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim
• Dragon's Dogma
• God Of War (liked the combat, not the difficulty)
• Darksiders
• The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003 video game)
• Hunted: The Demon's Forge
• Vermintide (even though it's not single player, but great game)

Just bad ports.

Honestly, fuck all of these GPU makers at this point.

I finally played the PC version of Lost Planet. I used to own it for Xbox 360 and had an absolute blast with it—definitely one of the titles I regret selling. For a long time, I wanted to get the PC version, but it was nearly impossible to play due to Games for Windows DRM. When Microsoft stopped supporting Games for Windows, Lost Planet was effectively unplayable on PC.

Thankfully, in recent years, Capcom finally removed that DRM, and now I can play it. Not only that, but I’m playing it on my Steam Deck. Supposedly, Lost Planet is “unsupported” on Steam Deck—at least from Capcom’s perspective—but I’m here to tell you it works perfectly. In fact, it runs great. It plays at full 800p with a 16:10 aspect ratio, and you can choose between DirectX 9 and DirectX 10.

Let me tell you, this game is incredible as a handheld experience—spectacular, even. It was always meant to be played with a gamepad, but with the Steam Deck’s control schemes, it just feels awesome.

I haven’t finished it yet—I’m only two hours in—but I’m so glad it’s playable again. So far, it’s a spectacular game, and I definitely think it’s one of Capcom’s most underrated titles.
