I just go some Steam giftcards from a friend and want to put them to good use.

Also FYI my PC isn't the most powerful in the world so I can't play anything super high rez.

I highly recommend Far Cry 2 and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, which are a combined 5 eurodollars from where I sit because they both, in different ways, really actually use the fact that video games are an interactive medium to do something with it beyond having fun gameplay that unlocks the next cutscene

Brew Barons is like half arcade planer shooter half RPG, maybe it fits your tastes. It's 10 eurodollars and is set in legally-not-porco-rosso-world. You definitely don't play this for the story, but I found it quite charming.

the only far cry worth playing is the frist one

The first Far Cry is not worth playing today. It's a standard-setting-tech-demo for the shooter genre. It was important in its time and genuinely a good game back then, not now.
