Frugal PC gamers looking for phenomenal games with staying power under $20 should look no further.
Some PC gamers with large budgets for the best gaming PCs or gaming laptops may not have much money left over to spend on the best PC games. Others may simply want something inexpensive to pass the time. Regardless, there are plenty of remarkable titles that won’t break the bank available through various services like Steam. They also run the gambit of genres including shooters, racers, RPGs, real-time strategy and more. To help thrifty PC gamers, TechRadar has provided some of our favorite games that offer the best bang for your buck. Besides costing significantly less than the latest big budget game from Bethesda or EA, these titles also feature fairly respectable system requirements. This means that you don’t need the best graphics card just to get in the game. Without spending more than a Benjamin, these titles have everything that makes a game great. This means, great gameplay, creative visuals regardless of age and high replay value. If you’re looking for some serious asymmetrical survival horror, look no further than Dead By Daylight. Released in 2016, the game has evolved into one of the most unique multiplayer experiences in gaming. Four survivors try to evade a seemingly indestructible killer looking for a human sacrifice. Though the main game cost a dub, there is plenty of DLC content available to purchase including some inspired by films like Halloween to even other survival horror franchises like Resident Evil. However, the main game content is definitely enough to last several terrifying nights. Blizzard’s wildly popular “hero shooter” may have a sequel on the way but the original team based multiplayer romp still has legs left. In Overwatch, two teams of six battle over various objectives including escorts, securing various map points and attack/defend. Besides the well realized cast of characters that feel like fighting game characters, the visual style itself is definitely noticeable. The competitive nature of the game was also good enough for Blizzard to create the Overwatch League in case players have esports aspirations. PC gamers with console owning friends will be happy to know that Overwatch will eventually support crossplay real soon.
