will stay a solid gaming rig for 4-5 years, longer if you like indies
Indies are often worse because they don’t have the time to spend on optimization. Especially those made to be first-person 3D.
Sticking to 2D/light-3D games, older games (try [email protected] or [email protected] ) and games made PC first (not console first) are my tips as someone with a not-quite-gaming laptop. The last one is the hardest, but as someone who optimized games for consoles for years I can tell you optimization for PC was always the last thing on our minds: get it to run, and raise the required specs.
