Best Games for Mid-End PC
This list includes all the games that will run well on a mid-range PC: a computer that was assembled not so long ago, but is not considered "top-tier". Typically, these are titles released between 2010 and 2015.
Unfortunately, on mid-range PCs, all games released after 2015 may experience stuttering and a natural drop in performance, which forces users to lower settings to a minimum and use special utilities to speed up the computer.
