I was a big time gamer when i was younger (years ago). Now with career and kids i do some casual gaming. I saw steam sale is going on and wondering what games would run decent on the fw13 amd? Specifically indie or older games or maybe crpg games. Bonus for games that are fun with trackpad or keyboard. I dont always have a mouse with. I thought I would pick up a game or two for my new laptop… that is in batch 9. Sigh.
Thanks community!

    If GTA V can perform good on a Athlon X4 and a 1GB GPU, then the framework will will better

    I have The Sims 4 installed on mine. Beware though. The Sims 4 is buggy if you play it through Steam. Do it through the EA app instead if you do. The Sims 4 is an almost 10 year old game that is poorly optimised, but is updated frequently still, and runs fairly well. Hell, there’s a new expansion pack coming out next month.

    Fortnite works pretty well. It’s not really a graphics-heavy game so you can play on the low graphics setting without noticeable compromise. Also Factorio.

    Try Emulation? Play some games from your youth? I have yet to receive mine too but I imagine it’ll run everything pretty flawlessly

    The GPU is pretty great, and capable of running a lot of games well. If you’re looking for stuff that’s trackpad friendly, maybe pick up Vampire Survivors and/or Halls of Torment.

    Highly recommend getting yourself Retroarch, then hitting the ole Internet Archive.

    You’ll need a controller probably but Celeste is a god-tier platformer with an awesome vibe that will run on basically anything.

      Ooo yes! You can also can check out Satisfactory. Surprisingly I had no problems with it on my intel iGPU, so you’ll definitely be fine on yours. That dev has gone a long way in terms of optimization.

      Factorio runs great on the Intel iGPU. The AMD chip should have no problem whatsoever.

      They have no sale policy so it won’t be on sale now, but it’s money well spent.

      It’s a bit better with a mouse, but the touchpad is manageable. It’s not an action shooter, but you click a lot.
