I was a big time gamer when i was younger (years ago). Now with career and kids i do some casual gaming. I saw steam sale is going on and wondering what games would run decent on the fw13 amd? Specifically indie or older games or maybe crpg games. Bonus for games that are fun with trackpad or keyboard. I dont always have a mouse with. I thought I would pick up a game or two for my new laptop… that is in batch 9. Sigh.
Thanks community!

Check out ETAPrimes videos on the 780M. Pretty much anything the steam deck can run, the FW13 will smash.
They got similar chips to the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, etc. So check out what games run well on those! Steam should have a “Deck certified” page with games they know run well. Also, any 2D game, any emulated game sans PS3, and most games before 2013 or so run on everything
Deep Rock Galactic runs fine on my i5-1340P, so it should run amazingly with the AMD iGPU.
I have The Sims 4 installed on mine. Beware though. The Sims 4 is buggy if you play it through Steam. Do it through the EA app instead if you do. The Sims 4 is an almost 10 year old game that is poorly optimised, but is updated frequently still, and runs fairly well. Hell, there’s a new expansion pack coming out next month.
Try Emulation? Play some games from your youth? I have yet to receive mine too but I imagine it’ll run everything pretty flawlessly
Highly recommend getting yourself Retroarch, then hitting the ole Internet Archive.
You’ll need a controller probably but Celeste is a god-tier platformer with an awesome vibe that will run on basically anything.
I really liked Surviving Mars, and that’ll probably run.
Stardew Valley. Factorio. Hollow Knight. Shovel Knight.
I remember playing Intelligent Qube like crazy on my PIII laptop on a PSX emulator. It’s actually addicting. If you go that route, the whole world of old school gaming is available to you. But Intelligent Qube was easy to play on a keyboard.
Holocure if you like bright colors and anime girls. Also stuff like Stardew Valley and FTL will work great.
