I have to say, most modern AAA games are derivative slop. All flashy graphics and no innovation or actual gameplay. Not quite sure why I have a high-end PC when I actually enjoy the smaller indie games more these days.
I've recently been laid up and unable to use my Chernobyl-like main desktop (I've not looked into streaming from it yet), so I have been limited to using my elderly non-gaming business class notebook & mobile workstation (Thinkpad T-495 and an old P50). I've found them surprisingly capable running indie and AA stuff, they both struggle with UE5 titles (the P50 being unable to run UE5 full stop) but even 3D games can be tweaked to look acceptable and play well. It's been an eye opener at what is possible if you temper your expectations.Doesn't bother me if AAA greed buries themselves in the end. Smaller indie studios are producing fantastic games still.
