CS:GO got heavy, I know. So, to continue the addiction of shooting exchange and competitiveness, we have gathered below 24 very light FPS (first-person shooter) games that can easily run on a weak PC. Check out!
Attention: most games below require 2GB of RAM, i3 processor (at most) and a video card that, in the best case, we can call average. We're talking about a weak PC, not Xuxa's PC.
1. Team Fortress 2
Team Fortress 2 is Valve's lost gem. The game was the first to combine the FPS genre with classes and characters with specific abilities. The model was later copied by games like Overwatch, Apex Legends, Valorant and others. Despite being old, the game still has a very solid player base and, with its cartoonish graphics, bets on a more "childish" and colorful style.
