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.

        A few years back, a really nice graphics card was like $650, so $3,000 got you a lot of performance.

          Unlike these days when it looks like 3000$ will get you a GPU and a water block for that GPU, if you want to spread your budget as thick as possible.

          Wasn’t the original Titan like 1000$ and considered a ludicrously expensive piece of luxury tech?

    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.

    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

    I just stumbled upon something called “Doki Doki Literature Club”.
    Yes or No?

          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.

    My laptop is WAY WORSE than yours and I could play Fallout: New Vegas with ease.

    Edit: I didn’t read the RPG part 😅

    Not an RPG but is open world: Hyper Light Drifter

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