Can someone tell me what games I can run on this setup.

SPECS:

4.00 GB (3.89 GB usable)
Intel(R) HD Graphics
Windows 10 Pro

That's a hard one as these are really underpowered specs compared to anything recent.

Have a look at PC Gamer Laptop games, but check the minimum and recommended specs of each one.

Gamerant also has a list of low requirement games.

You could also try using chatGPU to list some games with those specs...

Welcome to the forum

Do you have preferred genres, so people can suggest titles?

I am a retro gamer at heart so, anything as recent as 2014 to 2016 would suffice. Any genre of game would work fine.

This thread is making me wish Intel's Meteor Lake desktop CPUs get worked out soon, as I've read it's onboard graphics are supposedly going to be twice as powerful as anything previous. It would literally be like having a backup GPU whenever you have to spend time to get the one you have checked out.

Your specs aren't horrible, just don't know what the intel HD graphics can handle.

I did notice @Brian Boru tossed out fallout, elder scrolls and knight of the old republic games. Worth looking into because those games can give ya a lot of time out of em.

I'd even say torchlight 2, Diablo 2, maybe old titan quest might work, but it all depends on the games ya like.

Also for casual games, Peggle, Zuma, Lux, Bejeweled.

What type of games do you enjoy as well or maybe are willing to look into or try.

 

[saisameer96]

I generally enjoy faster paced action games. Everything from call of duty to devil may cry. I like horror games, tactical shooters, 2d and 3d platformers. I would like to try truck simulators, hunting sims and submarine sims etc.

Well you can pick up older CoD games on steam that should run on there, I don't think the newer ones will at all. Also I'll do my shameless if ya want to just shoot stuff Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 may be worth seeing if it will run. It's an old game about getting from point A to B while mindlessly killing tons of zombies. Can do it coop 4 players, has lots of custom maps. Just not sure if it will run on the graphics thing. Also Team Fortress 2 might be worth looking into. It's also free on Steam

A good platformer worth looking into would be Hollow Knight to see if it could run. It is hard though. Also they have Castlevania and Contra collections on steam if ya like retro side scrollers.

As for Sub Sims. Silent Hunter 3 and 4 are worth a look also. I don't know if you have them or have played them, but my dad absolutely loved them. He enjoyed 3 the most. There's also a new Sub Sim in early access, but not sure if it will run on your system and I cant remember the name of it off the top of my head.

3D platformer wise. I picked up one called Poi for my kid years ago and he loved it. Remember me of the old Super Mario 64.

Hope that helps a bit.
