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

          Another suggestion for a “mystery-type” visual novel:

          Everlasting Summer

          It has some heavy Soviet vibes as well, it’s so good, very atmospheric.

          If you liked it and wanna try another Visual Novel, you might wanna try YOU and ME and HER.

          Much less horror but similar in other ways, and one of my favorites because of the denpa vibes.

      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.

    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.

    Not an RPG but is open world: Hyper Light Drifter

    I’ve run it on a potato laptop before, so it should run fine.

    It’s not an RPG, but I always recommend PowerWash Simulator. It’s one of those games where you don’t have to pay too much attention to the game and can watch stuff on your phone.

    Aside from that, maybe World of Warcraft private server like ChromieCraft.

    There’s also Starbound, Terraria, Fallout 3 & New Vegas, the Portal and Borderlands games, Half-Life 2 just received an update.

    You can get a lot of games running well for that. Almost every 2D game will run great, and a bunch of 3D titles too.

    I picked up Parking Garage Rally Circuit in the sales yesterday because I’ve followed the dev on tiktok and it’s quite fun. A dreamcast-style time trial game!

    You can probably even emulate most consoles, excluding x360/PS3/switch (but I wouldn’t write them off entirely)
