Sorry- a little late here, but as you probably have already found out, some games will and others won't. For example, games that use directx usually won't be able to properly perform the first time setup if you don't have directx installed (which absolutely requires admin no matter what).

You can still play games without admin after they have been installed first time. I was able to install Jedi Academy and Stick Fight: The Game on my school's laptop, both run fine lol. TF2, CSGO, Gmod, etc (directx users) I was able to download, but not install.
