Action games for weak PCs

Action games usually offer gamers exciting gameplay that includes a lot of special effects and a huge amount of detail happening simultaneously on the screen. This is why some action games work poorly on weak and old computers, requiring modern hardware.

However, many action games still run normally on budget PCs or laptops. They either came out more than ten years ago or simply have low system requirements. This list contains all the action games that are suitable for old computers with poor hardware and laptops.
