I own a budget laptop, an Acer Aspire R15. It has a core i5 but isn’t a high-performance machine. It handles CS:GO at about 20 fps, which isn’t great for gaming. It also runs light 2D titles smoothly. I’m looking for more affordable 2D games that are simple to play with a trackpad and keyboard. Do you have any recommendations? I’ll share screenshots of the games I’ve tried on this PC (not all, but many).

Left 4 Dead 2 is much easier. My laptop has an iGPU i3, which makes it even worse. Team Fortress 2 is a bit more challenging in Counter Strike.

It seems you're looking for a 2D game experience that works well with a trackpad. I think I should focus on those types of games. I can enjoy them at home on my powerful PC, but when I'm away I need something portable and easy to open.

It seems you're discussing the binding of Isaac and want to confirm it's already secured.

It seems you're asking whether Old Game Fallout 2 is a good game. Would you like me to share some thoughts or reviews about it?

Give Risk of Rain a shot. A beloved indie title, simple 2D platformer that runs smoothly on keyboard.
