Games that don't require the best performance?
Hi guys, i've got 15 euro on steam and looking for a nice game to buy. I just have a normal laptop so i cant run those sick games that require the best graphics card.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz
Operating System: Windows 10 64 Home
Memory: 4GB PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM 1600 MHz
Hard Disk Drive: 500GB HDD storage (5400rpm)
Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics
RAM: 6GB

Thanks alot!!

BTW, i already have CS:GO (on lowest quality @ 75FPS)

You don't need a sick graphics card to run those games, you just need start giving up on the "laptops are cool " idea.

Even a budget gaming desktop could run 99% of titles on Steam with 60FPS on 1080p high.
I never tought a laptop was cool or better than a desktop one. I got this computer on my birthday
and i can't do anything about it. I asked about games that i can run on my computer. And no, i cant buy another computer.

Im telling you cause Steam has no option to search by hardware requirements as long thats handled by the developers and it might even change with time.

But yes, best to buy whatever is on a good sale.

The problem with your laptop is that it has no dedicated graphics card and it relies on the APU. Even if perfomance-wise it would be enough, games are not optimized for them like they are for nVidia or AMD. Some games report crashes or glitches (missing or badly rendered textures) on Intel HD regardless of game requirements.

Not on a laptop. Unless you're a wizard, then you can do it.
ok so no-one have a good game that u guys can recommend?

Yes, thats another reason why laptops are a waste of money, they have no upgrade options other as maybe a RAM or a new HDD which will not bring really any perfomance gain.
Cheap laptops are bad for gaming, gaming laptops are too expensive.

Funny thing: My graphics card is thicker as your laptop probably.

Yeah source games should be able to run.

I myself would also recommend visual novels,which are generally low requirement, but just cause I like anime doesn't means you like it too.

Hard is now even to recommend something, sales are pretty uninteresting currently. Don't Starve is a great game which will keep you busy for extremly long and is 14,99€.

The only problem is that on sales that game is 3€ and if you buy it now and see the price later, you get probably a heart attack.

There are tons of games. But you really should understand that it's better to buy games on sales, not for regular prices.
I think i could run even better games, i mean i can run LoL on highest quality and 150 FPS.
Also CS:GO, lowest quality (no lag) 85 FPS.
Warmode highest quality 75 FPS

Well all you need to do is check the system requirements against your own.

A skill that seems to be incredibly rare.
