Your favourite titles that require almost no GPU power?

Pop onto steam and pick up some of the early final fantasy's they have most of them remastered now but highlights would include 6 7 and 8
 
borderlands series, the fact they run let alone run well and look decent on lower settings on a laptop i5 with igpu is amazing.

they've been my gaming saviour whilst i'm here in sunny germany without my proper rig.
 
World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Minecraft (I'm not doing this on purpose, honestly!), I think Diablo 3 runs on older systems, NFS: Underground (first one), Crysis, STALKER.
 
The Stanley Parable (hilarious)
FTL
TIS-100 (oddly compelling - but not for everyone)
Worms (old school versions)
Prison Architect (if your prison doesn't get too big - I imagine you would have problems with mega facilities)
Factorio (brilliant)
Don't Starve
Duck Game (Nuts - my son made me buy it - oddly addictive and infuriating as other players are very creative in killing me :/)
Motorsport Manager (if in 2D - I suspect)
RimWorld
Limbo

Could go on - and surprised at the amount if games I've played that hardly stress my system. Just shows if gameplay is good you don't need the GFX...
 
The first two Batman Arkham games I loved. I was able to play them on my laptop which had an nVidia 8600M card in 2007 so the 1050 you've got is practically ten generations ahead. :p
 
Given a 1050 is like 50% faster than a 5870, plenty of games from the 2009-2013 era will play brilliantly.

Just Cause 2
Mass Effect series
Just look at stuff 5 years or older
 
A couple that I've not seen mentioned:

Titan Quest
The Banner Saga
Star Wars KOTOR (might not be a drop in and out of type game though)
