Disco Elysium is supposed to be a mostly narrative driven game. I started playing but I need to think of it more as a book than a game and set aside enough time to get into it.
Any preference for a genre? I love to casually play single player RPGs. I’m currently playing Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. If you are unfamiliar with Assassin’s Creed and you don’t care about graphics, don’t sleep on Assassin’s Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations. Easy one of the best trilogies out there. So much content, so perfectly crafted.
Another RPG that’s a lot of fun is the Borderlands series, particularly Borderlands 2.
Say you’re not looking for an RPG. Telltale has some games that won’t cause any stress in gameplay, they are interactive stories.
Sea of Thieves is well made as well. They have a specific mode if you don’t want to meet other players. Sessions can take a long time, though.
If you like automotive games, you could check out The Crew. It’s not complicated to drive those cars. However, I found the interface very confusing and Ubisoft tries to get you to spend money in-game a LOT.
Tabletop Racing is another fun lil racegame that’s not too complicated.
Pressure is a fun lil casual game.
Pokémon is always something that can entertain for a while. You can install an emulator on Windows called VisualBoyAdvance. Find yourself a ROM of Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow, Silver/Gold/Crystal or Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. The last of the three in the set is different from the first two, it follows the anime more closely. The difference between the first two is in the Pokémon you’ll encounter and not much else. If you have a Switch, the remakes do pretty well. But then again, Nintendo will always ask 60 bucks for that.
So I had to Google it, but it looks like you have a 2050, but Jedi Survivor’s recommended specs lists a 2070. So you fall short of their recommended specs.
Yeah I really don’t think you’re going to have any issues. I have vsync on, motion blur and camera shake off for my own preference, all settings on epic except post processing (it’s on high) and I’m not having any stuttering or tearing etc. It seems to be running just fine and looks good, just 1 hr in so far.
Does your laptop have a discrete graphics card or are you running integrated graphics? Have you ever redone the thermal paste or cleaned out your vents / fan?
Old laptops tend to thermal throttle a lot, and especially if you are running integrated graphics that will kill your performance very quickly. Not to mention laptop CPUs usually are less powerful than desktop, both for heat and battery life.
Post your specs and perhaps someone can help you more.
It’s not that old. It’s a maxed out Acer Aspire 5. The GPU is the one on the board, but it is an AMD ryzen something or other, and I maxed the board out at 32gb RAM
This one is on my list - if you ever make it though the technical struggles, let me know if it’s any good.
As far as your computer specs are concerned, the only thing that really matters is the GPU - everything else, as long as it’s from the last 5 years or so, is irrelevant.
