Pretty much title, and looking for game recommendations. I'm hoping I can play Apex Legends and The Finals reasonably well on it. I'm out of cell service frequently so I'm looking for interesting games I can download. I'm mostly a FPS player but do third person for World of Warships on console.

Welcome, you're in for a treat !

  • If you stick to verified games on Steam, there is little need for tinkering, if at all.
  • If you do want to tinker, this well is so deep it can become a hobby in and of itself.
  • As for recommendations for single player games, there are so many and often heavily discounted. Somewhat randomly, I'm going to suggest Prey (FPS, scifi setting) and Sniper Elite 4 (TPS, WW2 setting). Get them on sale !

Note that even though a game isn't verified, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll need to do any tinkering. You might have to, but it's not a guarantee or even necessarily incredibly likely.

The only time I've had to do eg. configuration file editing was to get Starfield (yes yes I know, shame on me) to run a bit better, but otherwise I haven't had to do any sort of fuckery to get non-verified games to run.
