Crusader Kings 3

What is Crusader Kings 3?

This is another, third, installment of the grand strategy by Paradox. The number of possibilities and things to remember during gameplay can give you a headache. Learning how to play can take many hours, and still, you will only get to know a fraction of the entire content. Nevertheless, it's worth making this effort, because by leading a medieval dynasty, a unique story is written each time, which is extremely interesting and sometimes contains totally crazy elements, such as cannibalism. Learning the basics also proves essential to expanding your influence, which is one of the main goals of Crusader Kings 3.

Who's Crusader Kings 3 for?

Certainly for extremely patient people, who can grit their teeth and get through the difficult beginnings. The entry threshold is exceptionally high. More than one player will stumble, fall and never get up again. Fortunately, the game is available as part of the Xbox Game Pass – so you don't have to buy it to see if it's the title for you. People who are familiar with one of the previous versions of this series or have played other major Paradox productions will have a much easier time getting into the game.

Minimum Requirements:

  1. Processor: Intel Core i3-2120 / AMD FX-6350
  2. GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 / AMD Radeon HD 7870
  3. RAM: 6 GB

BattleBit Remastered

What is BattleBit Remastered?

In a nutshell, BattleBit Remastered can be described as Battlefield with drastically simplified graphics. In the multiplayer gameplay of this first-person shooter, up to 256 people can play on one map. If you don't like such a crowd, you will also find modes for 16, 32, 64 and 128 players. People who enjoy online shooters should feel like fish in the water. The competition takes place, among others, in the modes of classic conquest, assault, and domination. Just like in Battlefield, we get the opportunity to move and fight in vehicles, including flying ones, customize weapons, along with a class system and levels of experience.

As I'm writing this sentence, BattleBit Remastered is in Early Access on Steam. However, this should not discourage you. Even though this production isn't complete yet, it's condition is pretty great. On the contrary – it's fully playable and provides a lot of joy in its current form. This is possible, among other things, thanks to very stable servers.

Who is BattleBit Remastered for?

It's basically for everyone who's not bored with online shooters. Well, maybe except the people who are unable to accept a very simplified graphic design from this group. Nothing comes for free – the game has very low hardware requirements and will even run on a calculator.

Minimum Requirements:

  1. Processor: Intel Core i5-2310
  2. GPU: GeForce GTS 450
  3. RAM: 6 GB
