Top 10 Low Spec PC Games
Greg Burke continues his 'I can't believe Asif didn't fire me' World Tour. He is inexplicably back to count down the Top 10 Low Spec PC Games.
Not everyone has the best graphics card and there are some poor souls who play games on Macs. This week's Top 10 list is for you as I count down the Top 10 Low Spec Games for PC. Some of these games could probably even work on Nintendo Switch! Games Mentioned: Faster Than Light, The Binding of Isaac, Darkest Dungeon, Rogue Legacy, Torchlight II, Bastion, Endless Legend, Shovel Knight, Day of the Tentacle, and SteamWorld Dig. You'll have to watch the video to see where the games rank and which game took our top spot!

If you have a suggestion for a future episode of Shack's Top 10, please let us know in the comments section or tweet @shacknews & @GregBurke85 with #Top10.

Its debatable...I googled, found a lot of mix reactions. It was mentioned multiple times on the Top 10 Poll as well.

Y'know, longshot here: the wife is interested in games, but it's hard to find stuff she can play because she doesn't have the developed hand-eye coordination us veterans have. But she still wants stuff that's complex and interesting (she envies me being able to play Dark Souls, for instance).
So, how about a list of good games for adult gamers to who are just getting started with the medium? Stuff that's easy to control, but offers interesting and approachable complexity, good tutorials, and ideally is light on the presentation trappings/tropes that turn off non-gamers (scantily-clad tank-class warrior ladies, for instance)?
I'll even help you out with a suggestion--the wife LOVES Fire Emblem: Awakening.-
Some of the proper, modern turn-based Roguelikes and RPGs might be up her alley. Dungeons of Dredmor, Legend of Grimrock, the Shadowrun games, Sword of the Stars: The Pit.
If she wants to start practicing to improve her eye-hand coordination, maybe start her on Crimsonland, particularly survival mode. You might want to run through the "campaign" first to unlock all the weapons in survival, since the missions can be pretty difficult. It not exceptionally complex, but it's engaging, and with survival it's not a matter of whether you die, it's just a matter of when.

(I know, it's $14. Totally worth it. Awesome game.)
Then there's the various survival games, starting with Minecraft.
Along the same philosophy as Crimsonland, the first Space Pirates and Zombies game could be worthwhile.
Hell, you could go way back and set her up with classic DooM running one of the modern engines. -

This list might have been better if it was Top 10 Low Spec PC Games of 2016
Making it of all time seems like strange. Why isn't Doom 1 or 2 there? Those games are badass yet run on 20 year old machines. There are just too many to pick from. Narrowing it down a bit would have helped you craft a more useful list. -

Disgaea 5 and Has Been Heroes are going to be on the Switch shortly after launch. HBH looks like a cross between Darkest Dungeon and Plants vs Zombies while Disgaea is a lot like FFT.
The Fire Emblem Warriors game that's coming this year isn't a real Fire Emblem game, its a FE themed Warriors/Musou game. There is a real Fire Emblem coming next year and that's a full on tactics game like FFT, etc.
