I was a big time gamer when i was younger (years ago). Now with career and kids i do some casual gaming. I saw steam sale is going on and wondering what games would run decent on the fw13 amd? Specifically indie or older games or maybe crpg games. Bonus for games that are fun with trackpad or keyboard. I dont always have a mouse with. I thought I would pick up a game or two for my new laptop… that is in batch 9. Sigh.
Thanks community!

    Highly recommend getting yourself Retroarch, then hitting the ole Internet Archive.

    You’ll need a controller probably but Celeste is a god-tier platformer with an awesome vibe that will run on basically anything.

    I have The Sims 4 installed on mine. Beware though. The Sims 4 is buggy if you play it through Steam. Do it through the EA app instead if you do. The Sims 4 is an almost 10 year old game that is poorly optimised, but is updated frequently still, and runs fairly well. Hell, there’s a new expansion pack coming out next month.

    Try Emulation? Play some games from your youth? I have yet to receive mine too but I imagine it’ll run everything pretty flawlessly

    Fortnite works pretty well. It’s not really a graphics-heavy game so you can play on the low graphics setting without noticeable compromise. Also Factorio.

    The GPU is pretty great, and capable of running a lot of games well. If you’re looking for stuff that’s trackpad friendly, maybe pick up Vampire Survivors and/or Halls of Torment.

    So far, all games i played run well, most impressively doom eternal in medium settings.

    I doubt you’ll run into issues with any somewhat optimized game.

    I’m super impressed with it. Was surprised to be getting great fps in gtav on max settings. I think the trend im seeing is that cpu intense games run best

    The Pedestrian is a pretty great modern indie platform / puzzle game which runs on Linux. Not a very long game, but worth your time if it’s your sort of thing.

    Check out ETAPrimes videos on the 780M. Pretty much anything the steam deck can run, the FW13 will smash.

    It’s basically whatever. The days of being able to play only some retro or indie games on integrated graphics are long gone

    Starfield might have trouble running, but something like Cyperbunk is playable already.

    Still I play Stardew Valley on my old laptop and I recommend it, whether you’re using an Intel iGPU or a RTX 4090! It’s maybe the best PC game ever made.
