Hi All, Currently, my only PC is my XPS 13, and its built in i5-whatever graphics. The only game I've got on it is Hearthstone, because it can quite easily be played with just the touch-pad. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any other "laptop" games, that you can play with either just WSAD, or just a track-pad. Ideally a tenner, and not a card game. Thanks in advance.
Samorost 3? Ibb and Obb if you've got someone to play with. Maybe some older games such as the Myst series? The Dreamfall games though I'm not sure they can run on the iGPU.
Games Wot I Have Successfully Played on my XPS13 (with the proviso that I'm running Linux, not Windows, and I have the Core i7-7560U 9360 variant): Yorkshire Gubbins: Delightful point-and-click in the classic style. Not very long, but cheap - and there are more chapters coming out in the near future. Duskers: Fantastic and original real-time strategy exploration game with a bit of programming thrown in for fun. A fiver above your price range, though, so maybe add it to your wishlist and wait for a sale. TIS-100: Program a broken eight-bit minicomputer in assembler! Not for everyone, this. SHENZHEN I/O: Build gadgets as cheaply or as quickly as you can. Compete against your friends! Get to the one about the nuclear wotsit, realise you're well out of your element, quit in disgust! From the creator of TIS-100, much prettier, but a pound over budget. Stealth ******* Deluxe. Can't remember why I stopped playing this little puzzler, and it's entirely possible the forum swearsie filter will have broken that link... Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You: Nice little 1984-'em-up. 25% off on the two-season bundle, at £10.78, if you're interested - there's a demo to try first, too. VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action: Visual novel (but not like that) with puzzle elements, set in a cyberpunk pub. SteamWorld Heist: Preferred this one to Dig, and its turn-based nature is good for laptop use. Uplink: Introversion's first, and for my money finest, game. Hollywood hacking at its best, though the interface is a little dated now. At least you don't have to squint at the copy protection card on the Steam version! Gone Home: FPS-style controls, but you can take it at your own pace so there's no issue with getting your fingers tangled and dying. A pound over budget again, though. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream: A classic point-and-click, if you're into the retro stuff. System Shock: Enhanced Edition and System Shock 2: I was always more fond of the original, but the second's worth a play-though. Ta-da! EDIT: Oh, how could I forget... FTL: Faster Than Light: A roguelike-like spaceship 'sim' which is pretty easy until you reach the boss and then ABSOLUTELY BLOODY IMPOSSIBLE SERIOUSLY HOW IS THIS EVEN SLIGHTLY FAIR YOU BLOODY SODS BAH.
I've already smashed through Pokemon Red and Bugs Bunny Castle 3 on a GBC Em. Will take a look at all suggestions - Thanks.

Oh my, oh my oh my oh my. I must buy this just because of the name to keep those inherited genes quenched. Yorkshire and cheap. Perfect. Mind you my old yorkshire dad used to reckon cheap was often too expensive.
Not run any on a laptop so more research may be needed, apart from Mini Metro/Plants Vs Zombies which both played fine on my atom based windows tablet. Space Run Don't Starve Kingdom: New Lands or Classic Reus Baldurs Gate/Icewindale from GoG. Project Zomboid maybe? There is a demo you can try. Sword of the Stars: The Pit - also has a demo. Edit: Dungeon of the Endless - currently $1 on a humble bundle
Found an old cracked copy of Need for Speed: Underground 2 on my external HDD which is doing the trick quite nicely for now. Have bought Yorkshire Gubbins. Because I couldn't not.
Plague Inc Atom Zombie Smasher Frozen Synapse Gunpoint- Very short, but reasonable replay-ability. Defcon Pretty sure they're paltry on the graphics settings, and can be played with mouse only/limited keyboarding.
If you like puzzle games, that make you think outside the box, then I highly recommend these; The Room 1 & 2 (The third is only on play store till they bring it to steam with higher resolution textures.) Syberia 3 The house of Da Vinci Haven Moon My all time favourite is Quern Udyning Thoughts. That game had some very hard puzzles, but it was a very enjoyable adventure. Definitely worthy of anyone that likes a real challenge.
