OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'll rec a few games that work on my laptop. To avoid redundancy, I won't mention ones other people have already recced (though I'll briefly mention that I LOVE Bastion.)

First, a disclaimer: my laptop isn't THAT crap. It can technically run the new Tomb Raider, although the frame rate is abysmal. If your computer is really crap, I can't guarantee all of these will work.

Nihilumbra: a blob of nothingness escapes from the void. The void wants it back. A beautifully sad platformer that strikes a nice balance between story and gameplay. (The base game is relatively easy, too, so it's good if you're a beginner. Once you've beaten that, a murderously hard New Game Plus unlocks.)

Thomas Was Alone: A group of AIs, intended to each exist and be studied in their own little worlds, accidentally meet due to a glitch in the system, and try to find a way to escape and define their own purpose. Has some of the best characterization I've seen in a video game. This is another relatively easy one.

Overlord: How much is humor worth to you? This tale of a deposed tyrant seeking to regain his throne suffers from overly simple and repetitive gameplay, but contains a lot of brilliant black comedy. It's also one of the few games I've played where I liked the karma meter--your actions determine whether your character is a complete bastard or just mostly a bastard. It's a little harder, but not especially difficult.

Miasmata: An exiled scientist, half dead of plague, finds himself on a remote island filled with abandoned research bases. The researchers there hoped to synthesize a plague cure--but something hunted them down, and now it's after the new arrival . . . More than any other game I've played, this one emphasizes a feeling of total helplessness--it's a small triumph to drag your plague-ridden body up a hill without falling, and a giant leap when you synthesize medicine to climb just a little higher and swim just a little longer. Difficulty is hard to judge--I'd say it's easy if you play cautiously.

Mark of the Ninja: you are a ninja. Sneak, distract, and stab your way past guards to eliminate your targets. One of the few games I've played where stealth-oriented gameplay felt not just satisfying, but empowering. Do be warned that it's harder than my other recs.

I also loved They Bleed Pixels, but since you said you haven't played that many games, I won't rec it to you specifically--it's really, REALLY hard.

I love Nihilumbra so much. It's just the right mix of slightly creepy and adorable. And I love the colour system.
