There are

- latexr 2y agoThe conversation’s context is fun games without needing the latest hardware.
- Eji1700 2y agoThe majority of my indie titles run on a potato.
- n_plus_1_acc 2y agoMany indie games use Unity and have terrible performance. Source: I have a potato (by which i mean i use the integrated graphics of an i7-56xx) It can run many games well, so it depends how much developers value performance.
- barbecue_sauce 2y agoAs a player, I do not really value performance unless we're talking sub 25fps.
- n_plus_1_acc 2y agoSame. But some titles have like 3fps (Train Valley World for example)
- account42 2y agoPerformance is not just a simple number. 25 FPS with good frame pacing is much more enjoyable than something that averages 60 FPS but with individual frame times all over the place. That said, for first-person action games especially on a non-tiny monitor, anything below ~40 FPS will be noticeably non-smooth. Other game types have more tolerance, e.g. a top down strategy game could still be playable at ~15 FPS.
- hiccuphippo 2y agoA lot of fun old AAA games run on potatoes. And there's so many of them that you won't have issues finding something new to you.
- squeaky-clean 2y ago> I look forward to an eventual return to fun video games They weren't saying they wanted games that run on old hardware. It's just the trope of "back then hardware was bad and games were good. Now hardware is good and games are bad."
- randac 2y agoLook at anything from publisher New Blood Interactive on Steam for a starting point. Mostly retro style FPS from differing eras, but there are a few other game types. Plus you'll struggle to find any that don't have thousands of user ratings in either very positive or overwhelmingly positive brackets. Gloomwood (first person stealth) and Fallen Aces are a couple of gems still in early access.
