The Call of Duty: Warzone is one of the most popular online RPG games, slightly different from PUBG, Fortnite, or other RPG PC games.

The graphics of this game are fantastic, and you can feel the building structure and small details. The game context is simple: collect loot and kill enemies to survive; the winner is the last to stand on the battlefield.

Recently, developers added new features to make your gameplay more fun and exciting. They said new kits and a Respawn mode. Warzone has a different currency, which you can use to buy more resources or drop a gear.

Now let’s talk about my favorite kits; a Thermal Scope is a handy tool, providing you with a clear vision of the enemy while shooting. The Cold-Blooded kit can help you hide your presence so the enemy can’t detect you.

A Tracker is also a helpful tool during the battle, and it will show you the enemy’s footprints; you can follow them and kill your enemy. Heart Beat Sensors can detect enemies if nobody uses the Cold-Blood kit.

7. Myst

Genre	Adventure / Puzzle
Developer	Cyan Inc.
Publisher	Cyan Worlds
Release	24 September, 1993
Metacritic Score	93/100
User Score	9.3/10
Official Site	Cyan

Minimum System Requirements (for PC)

OS	Windows 10, (64-bit)

RAM	8 GB RAM
GPU	NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 570 or greater
Storage	Windows 10, 64-bit

If you love to play puzzle PC games, then Myst is the game for you. This game has been among the most popular puzzle games since the 19s. You will say the graphics aren’t great; sometimes, it doesn’t matter because you know what I’m trying to say after playing once.

Let me tell you the context of this game: The creator of Myst will drop you on a mysterious island where, except you, nobody is there; you will explore the island and solve the puzzles you will come across.

It sounds so simple, right, but it’s not. It is more complicated than you think; players are often stuck in the same position, and developers don’t want to help players. That is why they didn’t provide any hint or clue to solve the puzzle, so players must clear the game independently.

These small details make this game more complicated and fun to play. One funny thing about this game is that the player has no physical body.

This game is available for many PC, Mac, PS, and Xbox devices. You also have the option to play in VR mode.
