Hi

I have a decent PC but unfortunately an old laptop that i take away with me and i'm not likely to upgrade it anytime soon.

Can you recommend me quality games that would run on the old laptop (preferably in Steam sale)

Spec:

Intel Core i5-2520M @ 2.50GHz
8GB RAM
Graphics is Intel HD 3000 (what let's it down)
Windows 7 Pro

Appreciate any game recommendations, currently thinking Ghost Master @ £0.29, Plight of the Zombie @ £0.99 and maybe Age of Empires Legacy Bundle @ £6.37

Cheers All

Any 2D game. Any 3D game before 2012. The HD 3000 is not as weak as many people think, I saw a video of some semi-recent SPlinter Cell running on it at 20-24 fps.

Torchlight II, Age of Empires II, any click adventure game and so on :P hd3000 is not that bad, and if you play on a low resolution and low graphic settings you can play a lot of games

The classic Rollercoaster Tycoon games (1 and 2) are amazing. There should also be some older LEGO games you should be able to play (Star Wars Complete Saga is a great one that should work).

Pretty sure Nuclear Throne, Enter the Gungeon, Hotline Miami, Poker Night in the Inventory, Stardew Valley, and Game Dev Tycoon will work.

Perhaps "Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines" ... if that's your thing?
It's on sale, it's fairly old so it should work just fine on older Hardware and
with that unofficial patch it doesn't really look old.

  • Bastion
  • Transistor
  • Binary Domain
  • Borderlands 2
  • Star Wars: KOTOR II
  • Dishonored
  • Dragon Age Origins
    ..you can play it on low or-medium, pretty smooth fps. It won't make you enter rage mode at least. LOL

AoE legacy bundle is a great buy, GalCiv similarly. Will always suggest Bastion if you've somehow missed it, Lisa if you can cope with 90s graphics. You already have FM2016 soooo...

Have you tried CS:GO on it? Surprised how well it runs on my quite epically shit 525m, can't speak to how the 3000 compares honestly but who knows :)

I am running Iron sky: Invasion very well on my Q8400 PC.
Although it is a mixed game but it's fun enough.
But remember, only purchase it when 90% off or more XD

If you like your strategy games, you can't get much better than Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance IMHO.
Currently 75% off in the Steam Sale at $3.74, and your laptop spec should handle it no problem.
Very much still an active community within the free Forged Alliance Forever mod/addon, that also improves the netcode reliability and adds a lot of balancing.
