From the top of my head, all these work perfectly on my 5yo Intel laptop and are often found on sale or in bundles.
Baba is You: you know that in every game, there are a fixed set of rules ("physics"), and you must use them efficiently in order to win? In this game, you must change the rules to solve puzzles. Super simple gameplay, tricky to master, really fucks your brain as you need to think outside the box.
Hotline Miami (1 and 2): top-down shooter with impeccable gameplay, level design and soundtrack. Super fast paced, die-retry-die-retry game loop, and great story too. Every level is challenging in its own way which makes it not so repetitive.
Nuclear Throne or Enter the Gungeon: procedurally generated top-down shooters, very similar to each other. Fun pixel-art, never replay the same levels although I guess it could be repetitive after a while.
I think I saw this game somewhere long time ago and was trying to find it. Definitely giving it a try. Thanks
