TOP-10 Most Optimized PC Games on PC in 2024
Echo Point Nova
The dynamic first-person shooter Echo Point Nova offers a large open world, unparalleled freedom of movement and high speed, combining elements of parkour and dynamic combat. As a space explorer whose ship crashed on a mysterious planet, the player fights hostile creatures, studies and uncovers local secrets. The game has a wide arsenal of weapons and a set of useful gadgets (grappling hook, hoverboard, enhanced jumps).
Echo Point Nova received very moderate system requirements, making it accessible to a wide range of players. Any quad-core processor and graphics card level GeForce GTX 1050 with 2GB video memory will do for launch. To improve performance on less powerful computers, it's recommended to set the following settings:
- Shadow quality: disabled;
- Motion blur: disabled;
- Ray-traced reflections and shadows: disabled;
- Other settings: enabled.
Another Crab's Treasure
An adventure action game in the souls-like genre, but amidst a colorful underwater kingdom, Another Crab's Treasure introduces a hermit crab named Kril striving to recover his stolen shell. On the path to his goal, Kril encounters various dangers and enemies. The key mechanic is using available trash as temporary protection instead of the lost shell. This adds tactical depth in choosing "shells" for protection against various opponents. Gameplay is accompanied by humorous dialogues and interesting lore of the underwater world.
The game demonstrates stable performance across most systems, both old and new. It requires only a basic processor, even a dual-core one with a 2.5 GHz clock speed, a GeForce GTX 970 graphics card with 3.5 GB of VRAM, and 4 GB of RAM to run. For improved performance on less powerful PCs, it’s recommended to adjust the following settings:
- Output Mode: Borderless Windowed;
- Texture Quality: Ultra;
- Graphics Quality: High;
- Anti-aliasing: Enabled;
Additionally, you should disable AO effects, motion blur, bloom, and sun shafts.
