Surface Pro 3, good games that will run well?

BenneMus

Looking for some good games to play while on the go with my Surface Pro 3, so nothing beefy, and preferably something that doesn't require fast mouse movements.

 

I've got the 8GB RAM Model with an i5-4300 Dual Core running at 1.9, turbo at 2.9.

 

Thanks for the suggestions!

"Dont wanna carry around a mouse with me, and something like that wouldn't really be playable in class/break/on the bus  :) "

So yea, something that I can pause and play with a mousepad, and offline would be nice, but not a must.

Damn it. Had you not said no fast mouse movements, I'd be telling to to try Deus Ex...

I'd say quake 2, but it's an fps...

 

I suppose some racing games should be good, like toca race driver 2 or dirt (1)

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

A mate of mine used to play Super Meat Boy and Goat Simulator on his Surface 2 during lectures.  The Stanley Parable, and maybe something like Rise of Nations/Age of Empires might be playable.  Maybe a few of the Lego games or possibly even the Portal games, come to mind as other possibilities.  Not quite sure how well any of those will perform though as I don't have a Surface myself (waiting on the inevitable Surface 4)

 

Edit: Grid/Grid 2 might be an option.  Runs pretty well on my brother's laptop which has less power than the Surface 3.

If you're a fan of point and click games that don't require extreme QTEs, you can definitely try out Telltale's Back to the Future games. It's supposed to bring closure to the entire film trilogy and I remember running this on a potato before just fine.
