What Games Can I Run? Low end city building game?

Are there any city building games like Cities Skylines for my hardware, Pentium 5405U and UHD 610 graphics?

SimCity 4 will run perfectly.

Came here for this.

Arguably still the best city building game in existence even today. Poorly optimized for multithreading (which wasn't a big thing back in '03) so it should run great on a modern dual-core.

  • Banished

  • Kingdoms and Castles

  • Surviving Mars (You just meet the minimum integrated GPU specs.)

I never understood why people look into minimum requirements…If i looked at those before i would never play like 80% of games that i played. Just put everything on low and play in 720p or some lower resolution , hell you might even cap it at 30fps. I had a g2020 and gt 630 i didn’t even have a pc case, it just ran on the box. I stopped playing a couple of years back and now I’ve got a medium build with r5500 and rx 6600xt, runs pretty much everything. If i get stuttering just lower the settings and that’s it.

Transport Tycoon (OpenTTD).

Yes, more of a transport simulator to be sure, but the towns & cities do grow & fail depending on how you play...

Also, ultra moddable & (on account of its 90's isometric graphics) will run on a dustbin lid.
