Game Suggestions with Intel HD 5500 Graphics Card

[hollyc96]

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to gaming (did old school runescape when i was younger), and I have really bad graphics card. And since I've realised I can't upgrade an integrated graphics card, I was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions for games I could run.

Specs:
Intel HD 5500 Graphics Card
Intel (R) Core i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20 GHz
Windows 10 x64 bit
8GB RAM

I'm currently playing Skyrim, Portal 2 and Life is Strange. I love Skyrim, and prefer more story based than mere FPS.

Best option is to go on YouTube and type in your specs followed by the game you want to play will give you a good idea how it will run.

Does it run Skyrim decently? If so, I think you'd also enjoy Dragon Age: Origins: It's on sale right now, too, and a superb fantasy RPG with plenty of story (better and more than Skyrim, I feel). There's also Skyrim's immediate predecessor, Oblivion, which I felt wasn't as good as Skyrim, but still a good game (Morrowind is the best of the series, and I'd recommend it as well, but it'll look a little more dated).

Skyrim runs really decently, considering my specs. I was quite surprised. Then again, I'm not really bothered about the best graphics, as long as it will play!

Will definitely check out Dragon Age. I've heard a lot about it!

I've just been looking at Fallout 3, but wary of the changes you need to do for it to work on Windows 10...
