Alright Folks — Intro Stuff & Why I Spent $3500 Building a Rig (For These Titles)
Okay yeah. I know what you're thinkin'. "Yet another best-of list?" Listen—I wouldn’t write this post if I didn't spend the last six moths grinding games with raytraced shadows and DLSS3 frames locked to uncapped ultra on an i9 + NVIDIA Titan Black beast from hell.
I’ve tried each entry here for **at least** fifty gameplay hours. Not just launch trailers—we’re talking endgame, maxed-out mods running alongside obscure fanmade overlays that barely even work most of the time. If you're new to the PC game hype or want your next grind fix—it all comes down to these 10+ picks right now.
OVERWATCH 3: No Mercy in Neon Skies — Is This Just Valorant Meets Titanfall? Sorta.
TLDR: Overwatch always stood at weird spot between hero-shooter & tactical shooter vibes. O.W3 pushes even further into chaotic mayhem than past titles, especially since maps feel alive now thanks to the --particle-emulate tech upgrade that simulates terrain change mid-match due to weapon fire impacts.
I’ve seen memes about OW3 turning into FPS LoLCheesecake, sure. Thing is—playing as *Drac-Mare* and literally biting people for vampiric healing points adds layers to how you read map flow these days. Note: Some agents return with slight power rebalaces while others get rebranded entirely. Pharah is faster again (*thank God*) but Zariya went full cyborg with drone support system attached permanently near her boots.
New Maps to Explore
- Kolkata Skytrain Ruins
- Tokyo Dystopia Rooftops — Yes vertical movement still OP as heck 🗡️
- Algerian Desert Hive Base
E.A Sports F.C 24 – Big Clapback from Fans (Especially Norwegians 😳)
We've been burned before EA releases updates every summer—yes including FUT being gone now forever. BUT hear me out. This time FC 24 dropped something fresh—new animations powered by live match capture. Real foot plant positioning. Better physics engine so when player stumbles during shoot—it doesn’t just clip and fake it like previous games did!
Some Major Changes Coming with Tønder FC Patch Update Today ✍️
- Norway League Added 🇳🇴🎉
Covers top-tier plus regional leagues up through Eliteserien, 1.division and more lower divisions - New Commentary Style: Multi-Angle Voice Integration
EAs FC update dropped today and boy has it been messy—but in a BUILDZI-type way that fans eat up regardless. There were early patch errors on day one—crash loops on GeForce users running on Windows N variants, but fixes rolled within few hours.
#Valor_Badge Last War Reference — Could EA Bring Coop Story Mode Like in That?
You ever wonder why FIFA never added branching choice story like in those rogue mobile co-OP survival games? Probably legal stuff—but hey who's complaining with real-time weather dynamics in career modes now.
Skyrim Remastered Special Edition Gets A NextGen Overhaul: Same Dun Dun Don Sound, Different World Render Distance
- Ridiculous textures now loaded across Skyrim world (without performance hits on modern setups)
- NPC behavior logic got smarter: No longer just standing still waiting to trade
This remaster gives Skyrim that extra punch we kinda skipped during last-gen transitions. Shadows actually look good now instead of blob-shaped ones casting over mountains. Plus AI combat feels more reactive. They duck when I fire arrows nearby—finally.
| Modded Variant Name(s) | Install Disk Footprint | RAM Usage Approx | Compatible w/ AMD Ryszen Cards? | GTX Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skyline Horizon Enhanced Texture Pack (WIP) | 245GB | 16-22 Gigs RAM usage | ✓ | Likes RTX Series more honestly. |
| Rubicon UI Tweaker Mod | ~78 GB | Depends—main game alone takes ~12 gigs | No issues. | Perfect fit on most Nvidia cards 1070+ |
The Rise and Fall of D.H.O.M.E — Online Survival MMO Done Right or Total Garbage Launch Day?
[Reddit Discussion] [YouTube LetPlay]
User 'BerserkerBoi':
"I rage quit after third server downtime event in 48hr period."
Streamer ‘SwordAndTorch’:
"BETTER Than DarkSouls 1.5x Difficulty + Loot RNG Actually Feels Fair."
Look man… DHOME had potential. Hell—launching servers with unstable shard systems made devs rush hotfix 5.2.4 which broke base crafting for two whole weekends. Still—the dungeon generator feels more dynamic than ever with semi-permanent biomes. So maybe worth the grind despite early missteps?
If you're into permadeath roguelite meets guild PvE action then this one will either break or build your weekend habits depending on how you tolerate community volatility 😂.
"MORTAL SHELL RESPAWNED?" – Is Another Remake Needed Or Are We Losing Sanity?
Old Mortal Shell was brutal. New Res:Spawn? Harder. Smarter enemies + upgraded parrying logic makes dodgin’ feel satisfying even on repeated death #37 💀
Now featuring boss rematch stages and skill point resets per zone—you can finally tailor each play style based purely off enemy layout ahead. Also there's an unlock tree this time around, not randomly unlocking abilities upon dying enough time like the OG did 😂.
- Respawned Features – Includes crossplay multiplayer mode + daily leader challenges where folks compete to beat bosses with fewer hits taken. Insane.
- Customization unlocked at level 25, unlike OG where you started naked
STARBASE EXO — Finally On PC (And Norwegian Servers Got Greenlit 🎯)
—by user @NorgesSpelersGroup, Apr’01'2025: "Best mining sandbox since Space Engine came out, minus procedural lag crashes when building ships larger than Earth moon size."
DigitalMindcraft’s dream turned semi-reality: terraforming, orbital station builds, ship customization toolsets—and surprisingly intuitive cargo bay logistics interface now built with Norwegian keyboard language support included.
- Planet Selection Menu lets filter for cold planets suitable for Svalbard-themed custom colonies 👩💻🧊
- Faction Conflict Mode now has localized quest lines written specifically for Nordic dialect translations 👌🇩🇰
Oh yeah — the devs confirmed upcoming DLC: Starport Oslo Zone expansion, allowing player stations near auroral borealis areas.
BIOSHOCK INF™ (Lucid ED)—RPcié Protocol, Neural Link Support, VR Headset Optimization All Built-in
Absolutely bonkers how Irrational pulled off a revival for this nearly decaying IP. But now it’s fully optimized for RAPID PCIe NVME loading tech. No longer freezes if switching GPU render targets fast. Textures load quicker too.
Show/Hide Steam Reviews Summary (from Mar 2025)
- ★★★★½ — “Great sound sync and less frame drops during skyhook fight scenes." — user xXColeMank9Xx
- ★★★½ - "Doesn't work on Intel UHD graphics, sorry casual gamers." — user SadAMD
- ★★★★★ - "Played it blindfolded in 4D Mode. I saw Elizabeth dance. Legit felt emotions. Can’t explain." – Verified reviewer: @VRDreamTeamNorway
#Valour_badge Last War Mobile Port Made Waves — Can Console Ever Catch up?
Premise Is Deceivingly Deep
- Auto Battlegrounds with Clan Warfare Dynamics
- ELO Ranking Based Around Resource Control Not Pure Death Match Wins
- Climactic Season Ends With Full-scale Assault Missions Every Q2
Most mobile ports don't survive long after first season. Valour_badge managed four and counting—so yeah definitely worthy mention under our endless entertainment list. (Especially because their Norway clan domination streak stayed untouched for five weeks.)
CYBER NOVA: What Was Supposed To Be 2085 Game Has Arrived In Time For Your Birthday Present (But In 2025 PC Format!)?
You'd probably do what any normal human would: try to hack into ancient neural mainframe nodes and find fragments of memories scattered inside virtual constructs called “Aethernet Drifts." Yes—sound dramatic? That’s Cybornova in nutshell. Dev team promises retro synthwave design while also pushing cutting edge rendering pipelines like HDR Lightmap streaming, volumetric fog layers that actually impact vision—not decorative fluff you see elsewhere. Plus: Norway voiceover talent chosen to narrate optional lore quests tied to Nordic Mythos reboots within the storyline 😏.

Red KNGDM – Soilborne Expansion (Post-APOCALYPSE World DLC)
No joke, this soilbone spinoff might have more content than base game ever delivered. Seriously—three massive maps, 21 exclusive NPCs, over 8 armor sets and new magic school focused around symbiontic warfare techniques. Like merging your HP bar with summoned pet life-force 🦕🫀.
Bleed Meter Rebalanced: Higher threshold required before instakilling low tier creatures, encouraging tactical aggression rather than button-mashing.
XENO_CRUSADE Vol.II: STILL IN PRE-PREPREMIUM ACCESS?! But Totally Played It Already…
Yeah I said played it ALready—even if it's marked [WIP] tag on Steam frontpage. Trust—when the build runs smoother on your old laptop from college dorm days, even in 3K res scaling mode… something’s right about this. Features teased for final launch includes:
- Dual-Time Zone Battles – Meaning fights take place simultaneously in 1286 CE + Year 3048 CE, requiring players to shift focus between both eras rapidly.
- Mechs that can combine into planet-sized fortresses (kinda).
“Can you believe the bloodthirsty aliens friendly diplomats are back again in episode three teaser footage?"

So Long For Now, Nerdy Gamer Folks ☭🎮
I hope this guide wasn't too biased toward certain titles (although if you guessed Overwatch won my personal vote... well, that says somethin'). Anyhows — remember to check game requirements before upgrading gear. PCs aren’t magical money machines and Norway isn't famous (yet?) for hardware discounts on GeForce GPUs unless Blackfriday hits extra hard 🙃.
Honest truth: I wrote this blog partly to procrastinate on fixing that watercooler leak. So yeh. Hope I helped. Now get out there, install something great. Let me know what I missed👇👇👇 (No, I won't reply to every mail—some trolls keep mailing me asking why I left "Call of Duty 2049 Edition" un-reviewed... bc no such thing exist lol 😅).
