Best games that can run on a 4GB RAM Laptop

The PC Master Race, for the longest time, has been established as the best way to experience games. This thanks to a mouse and keyboard, and a high-powered desktop whose cable management has been handled with efficiency.

However, as time has gone by, hardware in laptops has become quite satisfactory. Today, you can buy a laptop with decent hardware and play the best games of the last decade.

There have been tonnes of releases over the years, and players have rarely ever been able to play all the great offerings from each year. So, in case you have in possession a decent laptop, you'll be able to play some of these great games that you have missed over the last decade.

4) SOMA

SOMA is perhaps one of the most-overlooked video games of the last decade, and one of the best survival-horror games that you can pick up. The experience of playing through its story mode is one that every player must go through at least once.

• CPU: Core i3 / AMD A6 2.4Ghz
• CPU SPEED: Info
• RAM: 4 GB

1) DmC Devil May Cry

Many who were fans of the old Dante character model instantly shot down this reboot for its different take on the character. However, the 2013 DmC Devil May Cry is an excellent game from start to end.
