I have all my hardware set up, including a new chair. MineCraft and baulders gate 3, terraria, and some freebies are my only games so far. I have a massive console and physical game collection that I love, so I'm really just looking for things that are definitively better on pc, only on pc, or software that I may not know about yet. Free software and game recommendations are always my favorite.

Really just posting here because I thought you would be the best people to find random recommendations from. Usually I would check reddit posts and all that, but I'm here now.

Thanks in advance!

Warthunder is free, though once you get pretty into it playing free is insanely grindy.

It's a.. war vehicle simulator, I guess? I mostly play planes, but tanks and boats also exist.

Someone else mentioned DCS. Planes in Warthunder are significantly less simulator, but they're still not particularly arcade-y unless you're playing the Arcade mode.

Warframe is also free. It's kinda hit or miss, but if it hits it really hits.

Emulators are also cool- PCSX2 is a solid PS2 emulator, and RPCS3 is a fantastic PS3 emulator.

Great recommendations. I love me some warframe. Only ever played it on ps4.
