I'm looking for titles that will run well on my only computer. Which is a 5-year-old 13" convertible laptop attached to a docking station with a 24" 1920x1080 screen. It's got Intel internal graphics.

For reference, Skyrim runs well on it at 1920x1080 and high settings.

What would you recommend? Mostly interested in open world RPGs.

Specs:
Intel Core i5-10210 (4 cores, 8 threads, 4.2GHz)
8GB LPDDR3 (2133 MHz) RAM
Intel UHD Graphics w/ HDCP support. DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5
shared memory

Skullgirls is the best game you can play on any machine, and it will run on that laptop. But if you're mostly interested in RPGs, check out the Pillars of Eternity games, especially the second one. Wasteland 2 will likely run on that thing just fine.

Pillars was awesome. I need to grab deadfire

I just started Pillars.
Great suggestion, thanks! Also bought Wasteland 2 (with the current sale, I think I bought 10 great old games for $20) and will try that next.

Awesome! That first one can be a lot of combat, but it is good combat, and Pillars 2 is, in my opinion, just a better game in every way that the first game feels lacking.

I've bought both. The first one feels a lot like what I remember from the old DnD games (Baldurs Gate 1+2, Temple of Elemental Evil, Icewind Dale) and it seems to be very well-designed.
But if it turns into a slog, I'll definitely try the second part before giving up. I already like the lore a lot.
