In this era of ever-increasing graphical fidelity and system requirements, it sometimes helps to remember that this is not all that gaming is. Some of the greatest games of all time were released at a time when computer hardware was far weaker than it is today, and some of the greatest games of modern times were made by independent developers who can't afford to limit their games' appeal for the sake of fancy graphics.
Not only do these games not need you to invest a thousand dollars in an RTX-whatever, they can run on integrated graphics. In fact, they can run on the integrated graphics of a 12w CPU, in one of the smallest mini PCs in the world - the GMKtec NucBox G5
