  • If you don’t have an Epic Games account, you should make one to take advantage of their weekly free games. Thoughts about the company aside, you occasionally get access to some great games like Borderlands 3 and Prey.

    I recommend Daniel Mullins games if you like games that challenge the forth wall. Pony Island and Inscryption were fun. I’ve bought The Hex but haven’t sat down and committed the time to it yet, but it was very highly recommended to me.

    If you like games like Undertale, it’s sequel Deltarune is free on Windows. Two chapters out so far.

    If you happen to be a Pokémon fan, it’s not really AAA stuff that needs a gaming machine, but I recommend Pokémon Reborn. It’s a fully complete fan game that I’ve been following for years during development. It’s also free to download and supports online PvP and wonder trade.

    Congratulations on your gaming pc!


  • I enjoy top down stealth games, and haven’t seen this game get discussed much, but it was pretty fun - Serial Cleaner (and sequel, Serial CleanerS)

    You play a guy who cleans up murder scenes for an unknown serial killer, all the while evading guards and other security measures. It’s a pretty fun experience, and I do recommend giving it a go if that’s your kind of thing.

    There’s also the Marvelous Miss Take, a game where you play a woman on a mission to perform a series of heists. Also a top down stealth game, you get to use some gadgets to distract guards while you sneak past and to your goal.

    Both are older indie games, but enjoyable for at least one playthrough.


  • Not sure about solo games, but check out ten candles for a game where you won’t need a lot of prep.

    If you like stuff like D&D, you could try to check out ways to simplify character sheets (or pre generate characters) and use existing modules for one shots.

    There’s a lot of free ones you could start with - I kept getting recommended a oneshot called A Most Potent Brew when I was looking for one. It’s a pretty fun time and you won’t have to come up with something new to run it.

    If you want to further simplify gameplay for D&D, you can have a coin toss determine if you hit or not, and a d6 (regular 6 sided die) for damage. Movement is 6 squares a turn. Play it more like a video game, just on paper.
