Good games that work on shitty laptops

Probably Amnesia, if you have it.

Fairy Bloom Freesia should work, any Carpe Fulgur game should be fine as well.

the old Fallout games

Super meat boy, Terraria, Cave Story. They should work fine.

No offense, but Oaxaca is beautiful. Dont know why you would get bored, so and eat picadas and stuff.

Shocked that nobody mentioned System Shock.

League of Legends ;)

Cogs.
will give you tons of fun if you're into puzzles. (some levels are plainly mindblowing)
a few others would be superbrothers:sword and sworcery, super meat boy, binding of isaac, super hexagon, snapshot, cavestory+, VVVVVV and terraria. they're all fun :3

FTL
Panzer corps
Avernum Series

portal 1 and 2

Europa Universalis 3, if you're a strategy junkie like me.

i used to be in this situation these are some games that ran really well

The walking dead

Binding of isaac

Batman arkham asylum and city

Payday the heist

The witcher

Gnomoria runs well on a Core 2 Duo.

Dead Pixels likely works.

There's also the emulation option. Literally anything from the 8/16-bit eras will work great. You might get lucky and find out you can run a PS1 emulator well enough. If so, try Star Ocean: Second Story.
