[Idaero Ace]

My father will bought me a new laptop. I forgot the full spec, it has 8GB ram, and nvidia gt 820m 2gb , I guess. I only know it's way better than my current laptop which has first gen i5 with Intel HD.

So I started to make list which game I will dow.... err.. buy.
And I looking game that kids instant since I don't much time to play some games like Skyrim, or GTA, or other game that took much time. I love all kind of games.
And most strategy games need long time to play, so I won't but it.

Anyone has recommendation?
Also which one I should get first?

#and most racing game are instant

State of decay
LOTR Conquest

Injustice
Spiderman Shattered Dimension
Final fantasy type 0
Unreal tournament 3

Warcraft III, the only game you will ever need!

Joking aside, you could always get your favorite classics or other old games you never got to try. For example various single player Final Fantasy games in the range of 7 to 13 occasionally go on sale on steam. They might be slow paced but their usually liberal save and load system means they can be quick to continue and stop when you please.

If you mean instant as in first person or action based then you could try out some of the modern FPS games like Doom or Overwatch. Although they will likely perform quite badly given how weak the GPU card is they should still be playable on lowest settings unless the developers really were terrible. You may want to check for compatibility before hand though in case I am wrong.

I believe he's looking for games he can easily start playing, put down, and start playing again.

Going with this assumption, I recommend binding of isaac, risk of rain, pretty much most indie games, fighting games(mortal kombat, mugen, etc), racing games, MOBAs if you're into that, and a bunch more stuff.

risk of rain

This game is a good while it can instantly let you play. I recommend this one too. I hope they update the game though...

Arcade games (or games with an arcade feel).

By design, they are attractive, entertaining and catchy. A casual player can understand their rules in no time. They are generally medium/fast paced (slow games may have a timer). They are also designed so you lose fairly fast. Game world is not persistent from game to game (no save/load concept).

Some games are finite, some are infinite. A finite arcade game can generally be completed in 30 minutes. You can replay an arcade game over and over again, to improve your skills until you master it. That is, finish the whole game without losing a single life.

And as an added bonus, a High Score will give you the satisfaction to write your very own initials in the Hall of Fame.

Only drawback is, you will not find many true adventure games here.
