Can my laptop run this game?

First of all, I've gotten games like The Walking Dead: The Final Season to run on my wonderful potato of a computer, so it seems like it can handle some stuff.
Specs are:
Intel Core i7-5500U @ 2.4 GHz, 8.00 RAM
I also have a solid state drive, I don't think that contributes but it seems like its been running games better since I've switched out the hard drive.

This game is much more system intensive than any Telltale game, but it's not anything ridiculous. It's really just a question of whether the GPU of your laptop can handle it.

I tried this on a laptop with a Nvidia 950m GTX and barely got 30 fps on the lowest settings. I'd compare your GPU to that and figure out if it's worth it. You can always refund it if it doesn't run well.

Out of curiosity, since my knowledge is limited, would you say that for games I'd be better off with Nvidia or Geforce instead of Intel? (I hope I phrased that in a way that makes sense). Thanks for your help by the way!!

If you have an Intel GPU, it means you have what is called an integrated graphics card. This is generally the case with non-gaming laptops. Integrated graphics are generally terrible for running newer games, as there purpose is essentially to run day to day tasks on your computer.

If you plan on playing modern games you want something with a dedicated graphics card. Generally you have a choice between Nvidia or AMD. Geforce is a brand of graphics cards by Nvidia.

A dedicated graphics card will almost always outperform integrated graphics card for gaming, but not every dedicated graphics card is good enough to run modern games either.
