World of Warcraft: Classic The Burning Crusade Classic
What is WoW: Classic?
Worldof Warcraft: Classic is the exception in our list. It's the only production released in 2019, but it's here anyway. We decided to do this because of The Burning Crusade Classic.
Some time ago, Blizzard decided to release a special version of its popular MMORPG that takes players back to one of the first versions of the game from 2006. This title is set in the universe known from the Warcraft strategy games, and takes place a few years after Warcaft III: Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throneexpansion pack.
The story focuses on the conflict between the Alliance (which includes humans, dwarves, and night elves) and the Horde ( orcs, trolls, and the undead). Moreover, the land of Azeroth is constantly threatened by outside dangers. When it comes to gameplay, the developers remained faithful to the original – it's a classic MMORPG, in which we choose the side of the conflict, race or profession of our character, and then we find ourselves in a huge world, where we unlock new levels and complete numerous activities.
Who is WoW: Classic for?
If you're craving at least a temporary return to the old days of online RPGs, then Classic would be a great choice. The developers at Blizzard did their best to keep the spirit of the original, and you can tell by the popularity the title has enjoyed since its launch that they clearly succeeded. I also recommend it to those who haven't played WoW before.
Minimum Requirements:
- Processor: Intel Core i5-760 / AMD FX-8100
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 / AMD Radeon HD 7850
- RAM: 4 GB
Persona 4 Golden
What is Persona 4 Golden?
Persona 4 Golden is a refreshed and expanded version of the jRPG, which was originally released exclusively on the PlayStation 2 in 2008. The production hit the PlayStation Vita consoles in 2012 before debuting on PC in 2020. This Japanese game turned out to be a big success and proved that "PC users" are also a good target group when it comes to this type of productions. In Persona 4 Golden, players take on the role of a high school student who can travel to an alternative reality inhabited by Shadows and fight them using the so-called Personas.
Who's Persona 4 Golden for?
The gameplay in Persona 4 Golden is divided into two segments. In the first one, players act as a regular student - they go to school, spend time with friends and indulge in various daily activities. The second is the exploration of another dimension, which is a mirror image of the normal world, where one traverses procedurally generated locations and fight encountered creatures. It's a pretty peculiar combination that won't necessarily appeal to everyone, but it can be a great opportunity for those who would like to familiarize themselves with Japanese productions but haven't had the chance to do so until now (e.g. by the lack of any of the consoles).
Minimum Requirements:
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 / AMD Phenom II X2 550
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 / AMD Radeon HD 5770
