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

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.
Really curious what a $3000 performance bulld looks like
A few years back, a really nice graphics card was like $650, so $3,000 got you a lot of performance.
I just stumbled upon something called “Doki Doki Literature Club”.
Yes or No?My laptop is WAY WORSE than yours and I could play Fallout: New Vegas with ease.
Edit: I didn’t read the RPG part 😅
Should have a good time with hollow Knight
Shattered Pixel Dungeon - https://shatteredpixel.com/shatteredpd/
It’s free and open source.
Inscription! FTL faster than light! Dicey dungeons!
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.
I just started Pillars.
Great suggestion, thanks! Also bought Wasteland 2 (with the current sale, I think I bought 10 great old games for $20) and will try that next.Awesome! That first one can be a lot of combat, but it is good combat, and Pillars 2 is, in my opinion, just a better game in every way that the first game feels lacking.
I’ve bought both. The first one feels a lot like what I remember from the old DnD games (Baldurs Gate 1+2, Temple of Elemental Evil, Icewind Dale) and it seems to be very well-designed.
But if it turns into a slog, I’ll definitely try the second part before giving up. I already like the lore a lot.
based Skullgirls enjoyer
Pillars was awesome. I need to grab deadfire
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
That looks like it. It’s been almost 6 years since I’ve had to use it though so I could be wrong
5 years is a reasonable age but you’ll need to post your full specs.
Thanks, edited it into the post.
Not an RPG but is open world: Hyper Light Drifter
I’ve run it on a potato laptop before, so it should run fine.
Plainscape torment. Thanks me later.
Already played it. So I thank you now.
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.
Well, play Skyrim then!
1 playthrough for every re-release, just as Todd intended
Not really an RPG, more of a action adventure, but Far Cry 3 will probably run well enough. I played it on a much worse laptop when I was in highschool.
