Pathfinder Wrath (or similarly heavy cRPGs), Civ, Stellaris, Twilight Struggle... Also seems like engineering types like games like Kerbal, Factorio, and Satisfactory

I cannot wait to start getting my GI magazines again. IMHO Can't beat old school physical media

In my experience, big open world games tend to struggle on the SD so it is usually good to avoid those. I am currently testing KCD1 and - as a previous gen game - seems to work great. I can also vouch for the analysis that current gen games are unplayable. Stick with games that are a few years old

I primarily play games on my SD (~90% game time). I never use FSR/dynamic rez/upscaler as over long plays the blurry images, artifacts and weird lighting makes a game unplayable and headache inducing. My rule is turn all that off, keep textures high and shadows low is a good start. Also...

This is extremely thought provoking and well written. Great post

I agree with a lot of these picks including (but not limited to)- Ip Man, Drunken Master, Kung Fu Hustle, Ong Bak (Muay Thai Warrior), crouching tiger.

I would add that Hero has some really good scenes and should at least be checked out.
