2022 has kicked off with a boom(I mean no such boom but I added that because it sounds good XDD)and we all hope that this year we all stay safe at homes and make that time count.
The question is 'What am I gonna do??' and then everyone goes like-I can't even go down anymore, meet my friends and then proceeds to upload pictures on Instagram tagging his/her friends and the caption goes brrrrrrr.(Including me but I went out when the situation was a little bit normal plus taking proper precautions.)
Anyways we are diverting from the topic(Ugh),so we are gonna talk about games which I personally have played and my reviews about it:
VALORANT

"Trust me on this Valorant is super duper fun. I had a swell time playing this game and to be honest I was really new to the concept of PC FPS shooter games(no prior experience in CS:GO)but I learnt my way around and grinded out the whole of 2021.The games is evolving and sometimes frustrating to play but I would recommend you to start off by playing it with your friends."
You must be wondering, Can my PC run it??
Well sir you are in luck today because the game doesn't ask more than the following requirements:

I personally run the game on:
RAM: 4GB RAM
Processor: Intel i-5 10th Gen
Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics(with latest updated drivers)
Update your Intel graphics card here-https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download-center/home.html
Windows version: Windows 11
I would like to add, that people who are eligible to upgrade to Windows 11 I would recommend you not to as it still has many bugs and will require some time until they are all fixed.(It's all up to personal preference.)
My game clocks around 60 frames per second which is quite decent after running some windows optimizations, follow this video if you want a dramatic FPS Boost and less in-game stutters:
2. CS:GO( Counter Strike: Global offensive)

"Well this Game is the daddy version of the previous one. The OG game/the most popular game where it all started from(the origin). The game which produced big names like SHROUD,HIKO,SCREAM,MIXWELL,S1MPLE and these are just a few names on the list that I can think of!! It's definitely a game you do not want to miss out on."
If you have played Valorant and no experience as such with CS:GO then it might be a little difficult as the game mechanics differ a lot compared to both. As of such beginners who want to play this game, I am happy to tell you that you will thoroughly enjoy it and actually feel the adrenaline rushing through your veins. You see it all unfolding curl by curl in front of your eyes- "How heroes were made from a game like this!!"
And again you would be wondering "Can my potato PC run it?"
The answer is yes. Well the game doesn't ask much from you and I think the PC requirements are way below par(giving you decent FPS and minimal lag issues):
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 / AMD Phenom X3 8750 or better
RAM: 2 GB
HDD: 15 GB of storage space
GPU: Video card must be 256 MB or more and should be a DirectX 9-compatible with support for Pixel Shader 3.0
There you go MUCHACHO!!!
"Stay tuned for 'Part 2.' I will post it soon. Till then Stay home, Stay safe and happy gaming!!
