I’m looking for titles that will run well on my only computer. Which is a 5-year-old 13" convertible laptop attached to a docking station with a 24" 1920x1080 screen. It’s got Intel internal graphics.
For reference, Skyrim runs well on it at 1920x1080 and high settings.
What would you recommend? Mostly interested in open world RPGs.
Specs:
Intel Core i5-10210 (4 cores, 8 threads, 4.2GHz)
8GB LPDDR3 (2133 MHz) RAM
Intel UHD Graphics w/ HDCP support. DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5
shared memory

It’s free and open source.

wouldn’t it be ddr4? I think since 6th Gen Intel.
Stardew valley :)
I wish there were a site I could report my specs to and get a list of playable games.
I have an 8th gen Intel i7, 32 gigs of memory and beyond SNES style games I have no idea what options there are for me
There was a site called Can I Run It? i used way back when i was younger that was what you’re describing
Inscription! FTL faster than light! Dicey dungeons!
I built a $3,000 performance desktop a few years back, and the main games games I ended up playing on it were things like FTL, Shovel Knight, SNES emulators, and other games that could be run on an overclock ham sandwich.
CDDA: it’s basically an immersive sim with zombies and mutants in an ascii new england. Sprites optional;
Stardew valley: haha ancient fruit wine go brrr;
Morrowind: whiff. whiff. cliff racer screech. the sounds of a wood elf screaming from the heavens and splattering on the pavement;
An SNES emulator: there’s like an entire library to play here;
Seconding to emulation, for open world RPG you may find a lot of them on older consoles like pre-Gen 7 consoles (PS3/X360). To OP, assuming emlation is compliant with law on your country, older games are great too if you don’t mind delving pre-2010s games.
I just stumbled upon something called “Doki Doki Literature Club”.
Yes or No?Yes! Don’t read anything about it. Go in blind.
Skullgirls is the best game you can play on any machine, and it will run on that laptop. But if you’re mostly interested in RPGs, check out the Pillars of Eternity games, especially the second one. Wasteland 2 will likely run on that thing just fine.
Pillars was awesome. I need to grab deadfire
based Skullgirls enjoyer
Almost everything I play is just 2D indie games, practically any 2D game should run just fine on that.
There are so many great 2D games I could rattle off that I almost don’t know where to start. But since you mentioned RPGs, I am legally obligated to shill CrossCode at any opportunity.
Aw YESS! CrossCode rooooooccckksss!! flails excitedly to emphasize this fact! \ö/!!
Double Cross is neat too :3 https://graffiti-games.itch.io/double-cross Not as <3 as CrossCode, though. Not much is :3
I really should go back and finish it… I played CrossCode up until after the ice dungeon but never got around to going further. It’s an S tier game for sure.
Thanks for the recommendation! Feel free to rattle off your top 3 2D games, too.
My laptop is WAY WORSE than yours and I could play Fallout: New Vegas with ease.
Edit: I didn’t read the RPG part 😅
5 years is a reasonable age but you’ll need to post your full specs.
Thanks, edited it into the post.
Well, play Skyrim then!
1 playthrough for every re-release, just as Todd intended
Mine is not dissimilar and it runs BG3 on low settings.
What specs do you have? A laptop with an i5 10th gen CPU would definitely not be able to run BG3. My older laptop with a GTX 1060 would barely run it over 40fps lowest settings.
It’s a surface book 3. I’m out of office at the moment so the comparison is from memory alone, sorry if I was significantly off.
Further wrinkle: I run it from an external SSD.
