Game Recommendations for a Laptop with a Intel-5300 Graphics?

[Longshot]

i have the Asus Zenbook UX305FA
so this is my new laptop which i am planning to play mostly indie games between flights and such.

the problem is that besides several games i already own i have no idea what games will run well on my laptop.


Games ive Already Played (or know will run well):
Gunpoint
The Silent Age (i highly reccomend btw)
Papers Please
Nidhogg



any game to reccomend?

Sure are a lot of people posting specs today to find out what they can play.

I almost wish there was a Hardware discussion thread for material like this.

I believe that is Iris Pro level graphics, so you should be able to play just about anything at low-medium settings

5300's better than 4400, right? I have a 4400 and a 4000 and I can run pretty much anything other than the newest stuff or stuff that's poorly optimized.

Though I don't typically play full-3D games other than TF2 so I don't know. TF2 runs just fine though, as do other Valve games.

I don't know what your tastes are, but here's a list of games that I personally have played, like, and recommend. It's got lots of indies, and everything on this list has a base price under US$20. And everything can be run on a computer with an integrated graphics card.

* action adventures/RPGs by Falcom: Ys Origin, Ys: the Oath in Felghana, Ys I & II, and Gurumin: a Monstrous Adventure
* action RPGs localized by Carpe Fulgur, including Recettear: an Item Shop's Tale and Fortune Summoners
* the action/exploration platformer Guacamelee
* the exploration adventures La-Mulana, Aquaria, Anodyne, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Waking Mars, and Mystik Belle
* the shmups Ether Vapor Remaster, RefleX, eXceed 2nd, and eXceed 3rd
* the virtual board game 100% Orange Juice
* the adventure platformers DuckTales Remastered, Mutant Mudds Deluxe, Stealth Bastard Deluxe, Saira, and eversion
* the comedy/novelty platformers Eryi's Action, DLC Quest, and Potatoman Seeks the Troof
* the co-op exploration/customization platformer Terraria
* the platformer arena brawler Fairy Bloom Freesia
* the roguelikes/procedurally-generated games One Way Heroics, Dungeons of Dredmor, FTL: Faster Than Light, and Organ Trail
* the visual novels/story adventures Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent, The Shivah, Dysfunctional Systems: Learning to Manage Chaos, fault ~milestone one~, and To The Moon
* the traditional JRPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, the First Chapter
* the teamwork FPS Team Fortress 2

Since I had to play games on my Desktop Intel HD 4400 before I've had a look at my list and noted some of my favorite games which I know that get along well with these Integrated chipset.

call of juarez gunslinger , sanctum 2 , F.E.A.R 2 , Defiance , Zombies monsters Robots , Killing Floor 1 , Path of exile , starbound , Age of empire 3 , Robocraft , Fallout new Vegas , mass effect (1 and 2) , Saint row's (2 the third and SR4) Duke nukem Forever , Serious sam 2 and 3 , Beware Planet earth , Mirror's edge , Just cause 2 , Metal slug , warframe , gauntlet , Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure.

there also Bioshock Infinity which is popular and that support the Intel HD from what I seen on it's store page.

most game asking old GPU like a geforce 8XXX like a 8400 or 8600 ''usually'' work fine on these Intel HD too even if there a few exception's.

Gauntlet works? I'll have to pick that one up then. I wasn't sure about that one so I didn't.

Also, I remember being on a Pentium with 3000 and Sanctum (as in, Sanctum 1) didn't work on it. What processor did you have with your 4400? (And I guess I could try actually running Sanctum on my 4400 now...)

it's a Intel core I3 4130 with 8 gig of ram separated on 2 Ram Bar so the chipset itself was working full capacity in that rig , did you updated the driver ? there an update that fixed lot's of performance and crash with certain games from what I've seen.

what I've noticed is that lot's Unity and Unreal games are those that tend to be much less friendly on Intel HD , especially since they're the games that I've seen the biggest difference when I Installed a Geforce GPU Instead of playing on the Intel HD.

I don't use said Pentium with the integrated 3000 anymore, so ain't much I can do with that.

I haven't actually played Sanctum 1 yet, so maybe I'll check it out at some point.

But yeah, Sanctum is an Unreal engine game, IIRC, so you may be onto something.

Do you happen to know what engine FTL uses? That game's entirely 2D, but it seems to be pretty processor-intensive for reasons I don't know.

Edit: I looked it up. Apparently it was written in C++, using SDL, DeVIL, FreeType, RapidXML, and zlib,...I guess this means they made their own engine?

I don't know , maybe it's not really the engine itself but more the fact that most developers using it don't Optimise the games for low end hardwares.
