Pc game suggestions

[Jma2244]

Hi Everyone! I bought a new laptop (not a gaming laptop) but pretty new to gaming. I am not a hardcore gamer but I’m looking for game ideas to play on the laptop for a few hours. Specs are below

Lenovo-Slim Pro 7 90 Hz 2.5 k AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS-Nvidia GeForceTX 3050 with 16 GB and Memory-512 go ssd

Thank you for your time!

what types of games do you play? Give people some idea what to suggest. PC can run pretty much anything.

My bad.

Adevnture
Shooter
Sports
Stealth
Action
Never played MMORPG but I am open to giving it a try

I am sure someone will think of something in those areas

Well, it helps, but... I guess the fact that you aren't giving us any games to go on helps, too. Probably games with good tutorials that aren't too hard to learn. It doesn't sound like you've played a lot of games before, either, so we can save you a lot of cash by playing great games from a few years ago. Then you can follow up on whatever games you end up enjoying.

Batman: Arkham City - Game of the Year Edition on Steam

Get Batman: Arkham City and all DLC for one low price with the release of the GOTY Edition!

Nice open world (well, open city) game. I think we're calling this an "action adventure" with lots of stealth.

DOOM on Steam

Now includes all three premium DLC packs (Unto the Evil, Hell Followed, and Bloodfall), maps, modes, and weapons, as well as all feature updates including Arcade Mode, Photo Mode, and the latest Update 6.66, which brings further multiplayer improvements as well as revamps multiplayer progression.

Straight-up shooter.

Just Cause™ 3 on Steam

With over 1000 km² of complete freedom from sky to seabed, Rico Rodriguez returns to unleash chaos in the most creative and explosive ways imaginable.

store.steampowered.com

More of an open world shooter where you get to blow up stuff. LOTS of stuff.

Subnautica on Steam

Descend into the depths of an alien underwater world filled with wonder and peril. Craft equipment, pilot submarines and out-smart wildlife to explore lush coral reefs, volcanoes, cave systems, and more - all while trying to survive.

store.steampowered.com

An excellent exploration game. You can build a modest base, too. (Sheesh, it's still $30 USD!)

Valkyria Chronicles™ on Steam

The critically acclaimed Valkyria Chronicles is now available on PC in 1080p True HD, including all previously released DLC!

store.steampowered.com

The story is a bit "Word War 2 for an 8 year old" but the tactics you need to use are solid and great fun. Valkyria Chronicles 4 is a good bit better but way more expensive.

Outer Wilds on Steam

Named Game of the Year 2019 by Giant Bomb, Polygon, Eurogamer, and The Guardian, Outer Wilds is a critically-acclaimed and award-winning open world mystery about a solar system trapped in an endless time loop.

store.steampowered.com

Puzzles and a little lightweight jumping. Excellent story once you piece it together.

P.S. The PC Gamer Top 100 list is a good source, too.

What's that equivalent to in Intel, i7 or i9 I assume.

Old-style, try out LucasArts games from the 90s, eg Indiana Jones.
Gabriel Knight, Monkey island or Sam & Max.
Syberia 1 and 2, Her Story, Papers Please, The Last Express.

8 cores, 16 threads, 12 igpu cores. max clock of 4.75ghz. I don't track intel enough to know what that equals on their side

https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-7-7735hs-0

that nvidia GPU days are numbered in AMD systems with the 8700G having an igpu equal to a 1060 now.
