Basically all the classics from yesteryear… Check GOG for some great vintage games:

  • Rollercoaster Tycoon
  • Age of Empires II definitive edition
  • Sims 1/2
  • Neverwinter Nights

Also check out myabandonware.com. Many free legal old games, some of which are great.

Some more “recent” titles:

  • Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
  • Portal /Portal 2
  • Binding of Isaac
  • Vanpire Survivor Many, Many other indie games

Also check out anything 3rd party released for Nintendo Switch. Most of those pc counterparts would probably run on a laptop.

If you’re into emulating, SNES, GBA and N64 classics can be played.

ViscloReader OP ,

I think you meant age of empires 2 hd edition. Definitive edition is the recent title which is way harder to run (at least for me)

Drummyralf ,

Hmm interesting. DE is definately the better port, and minimum requirements were an intel 4000 chip, so I figured it would run on most laptops by now.

I guess you could always download the original from Archive.org. you would need to patch some stuff (I recall the water textures not working well on modern hardware) but should still work :)

Be specific, dude. Anything “can be played” on some sort of integrated graphics setup, depending on wtf we are talking about.

Please tell me you are not referring to the iconic Croc in this manner

Rimworld is primarily CPU bound. It’s potentially my favorite game ever.

Factorio runs pretty well on my old laptop, but the bigger your setup gets, the more CPU cycles it takes. YMMV.

Warframe. Runs great on relatively minimal/stock computers. The best part is that the game is free to play as well.

Just try not to leak classified material in the forums

eRac ,

Why would someone feel the need to leak classified info on the Warframe forums? It’s far-future scifi.

I think you are confusing it with War Thunder.

superduperpirate ,

You’re right, I got those two confused. Whoops!

with my 10-year old laptop with Intel HD4000, I can run almost any GameCube or PS1-era game. XBox and PS2 run with limitations. 3DS and PSP also work great. the most I’ve pushed my laptop was Elite Dangerous on lowest settings. played for hundreds of hours but took many breaks since the laptop would overheat and crash

"Integrated graphics" is a massive range of capability.

yukichigai ,
@yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, we'd need to know the gpu or even vague specs on the laptop to give a good answer.

Even assuming that OP is talking about Intel Integrated Graphics that's still a huge range depending on which series it is.

Rentlar ,

At one point I tried running Halo Infinite on my gaming laptop from late 2020 with the dedicated graphics card disabled, and the AMD APU did run it at 55fps on low to medium settings in a 4 on 4, surprisingly.

There’s a big gulf between that type of computer and your barebones “works for office use.” An older laptop I had rocked an AMD E1-1200. In 2015 I got to play League of Legends at 10fps with minimum settings. Strangely, Windows 8.1 runs faster on it than the other i5-7200U laptop I replaced it with later on Windows 10.

Celeste, Enter the Gungeon, Nuclear Throne, FTL, Minecraft with optimization mods and low draw distance, Guilty gear Xrd. Really, if it's 2D it should be fine. Oh, and Hollow Knight sometimes, it depends on the igpu model if it likes it or not

And factorio, factorio runs on anything

Depends on the base you build but yeah

I said this elsewhere, but without knowing what specific integrated graphics card you're using (e.g. Intel HD 4000 series) it's hard to give specific recommendations. Generally though there's a range of things that will work:

  • Any game released 7+-ish years before the laptop was manufactured.
  • Most 2D games released 4+-ish years before the laptop was manufactured.
  • Anything that has an Android/iOS version.
  • Emulated games for anything from 2 console generations ago or more (e.g. OG Xbox, Playstation 2). Also the PC releases of those games (e.g. Knights of the Old Republic)
