Before making any quick judgments, remember I already understand why this MacBook was chosen. It was purchased for academic use to run specific Apple software. Recently, I acquired a 2015 Retina Display MacBook Pro with a 13-inch screen. It performs well overall and handles Roblox smoothly even at maximum graphics settings—especially on battery life. I've watched others install Windows on these devices and play games like Skyrim, which seem to run nicely thanks to the built-in Intel Iris graphics. I'm searching Steam for free or free-to-play titles that require minimal storage (around 6GB or less) since my base model only offers 128GB. The extra ~$250 for a 256GB version was out of budget, so I’m limited to the available storage. For other needs, an external drive would be better, but I don’t have one yet. I’m hoping someone can suggest good free or free-to-play games that work well on this system. Cities: Skylines is one I’ve tried, but the performance isn’t great. Gaming isn’t a priority here, but I’d like to enjoy occasional games during study breaks. Just to note, Roblox doesn’t load on the school network, even though it’s fast enough—possibly because the institution restricts such requests.

You can add games to an SD card, external HDD, or network drive for Dota 2 and TF2. The free list is limited, and most schools restrict games. A VPN can help bypass those restrictions.

I spent about eight hours waiting at the airport and used my relative's MacBook to play Civ V and FTL.

TF2 is roughly 17GB now. Would you like me to recommend something else? The first game seems to be around 7GB, though I’m not sure. Driver SF is about 10GB, so it’s a bit heavy.

Hey, it's okay. I'm not sure what to do either.
