List your favorite games that can be played on integrated graphics (no dedicated gpu, like for laptops and such…)

“Integrated graphics” is a massive range of capability.
Yeah, we’d need to know the gpu or even vague specs on the laptop to give a good answer.
Even assuming that OP is talking about Intel Integrated Graphics that’s still a huge range depending on which series it is.
At one point I tried running Halo Infinite on my gaming laptop from late 2020 with the dedicated graphics card disabled, and the AMD APU did run it at 55fps on low to medium settings in a 4 on 4, surprisingly.
There’s a big gulf between that type of computer and your barebones “works for office use.” An older laptop I had rocked an AMD E1-1200. In 2015 I got to play League of Legends at 10fps with minimum settings. Strangely, Windows 8.1 runs faster on it than the other i5-7200U laptop I replaced it with later on Windows 10.
I said this elsewhere, but without knowing what specific integrated graphics card you’re using (e.g. Intel HD 4000 series) it’s hard to give specific recommendations. Generally though there’s a range of things that will work:
-
Any game released 7±ish years before the laptop was manufactured.
-
Most 2D games released 4±ish years before the laptop was manufactured.
-
Anything that has an Android/iOS version.
-
Emulated games for anything from 2 console generations ago or more (e.g. OG Xbox, Playstation 2). Also the PC releases of those games (e.g. Knights of the Old Republic)
-
FTL - Faster Than Light
Look on Steam for Steam Deck Verified and Steam Deck Playable titles. Start there and see what your integrated graphics are capable of. If it’s a recently purchased laptop with an AMD APU in it, you should be able to play just about any Steam Deck Verified or Playable game, most likely with reduced settings and resolution.
Well, Xonotic of course
If an APU counts, pretty much everything these days. The Steam Deck, even with its now “old” APU just keeps on steaming ahead!
Caveats: HD or lower. Sometimes at 30fps for big fancy AAA games.
Be specific, dude. Anything “can be played” on some sort of integrated graphics setup, depending on wtf we are talking about.

Clam Digger
Warframe. Runs great on relatively minimal/stock computers. The best part is that the game is free to play as well.
Just try not to leak classified material in the forums
Into the breach
Dwarf Fortress
Factorio runs pretty well on my old laptop, but the bigger your setup gets, the more CPU cycles it takes. YMMV.
with my 10-year old laptop with Intel HD4000, I can run almost any GameCube or PS1-era game. XBox and PS2 run with limitations. 3DS and PSP also work great. the most I’ve pushed my laptop was Elite Dangerous on lowest settings. played for hundreds of hours but took many breaks since the laptop would overheat and crash
The Starcraft series (I enjoy playing RTSes casually)
Slay the Spire
That little jumping dinosaur guy
Please tell me you are not referring to the iconic Croc in this manner
