I'm excited to dive into gaming, but I'm not sure what my PC can handle. I'd love some game suggestions, particularly story-driven ones! Here are my specs: 8GB DDR4 RAM, Ryzen 5300U processor, and an integrated GPU with 2GB of RAM. What can I play?

Try looking up benchmarks on YouTube using your specs. Just make sure you filter for 8GB RAM setups to get the most accurate results! It’s super helpful!
I've got a friend with similar specs, and let's be real—his gaming options are pretty limited. But don’t worry! A good reference is to check the recommended specs on Steam's store pages. If it turns out your PC can't run a game, you can always refund it! Here are some titles from my library that should work: Rhythm Doctor, Balatro, Rayman Legends, Slay the Princess, Cuphead, Sonic Mania, and Hollow Knight. You’ll likely be good with most 2D games and some well-optimized 3D games!
You’ve got a good friend! Keep those game ideas coming!
Your setup is best for 2000-2006 games at 1080p/60fps and 2007-2013 games at 1080p/30fps. Aim for classics, and you'll be fine!
Realistically, you might want to steer clear of 3D games and anything released after 2013. If you play on low settings and remove unnecessary software, you could manage some older titles like Fable 2, Fable 3, or the Batman Telltale series. And hey, if you ever think of upgrading, there are definitely better options out there!
Check out pcgamebenchmark.com. You can either download their detection tool or just input your specs to see all the games your setup can handle! It's really neat.
Your specs are pretty low for gaming, but you can still play some lightweight games! Look for pixelated titles like Stardew Valley or Terraria. They should run smoothly!
Hey, I totally need one of those Steam Decks too! Just sayin'.
