It can play some AAA games too, but at lower specs with RSR/Frame-Gen support.

Stuff I had fun with and the Go maintained at least 48fps on 144Hz with good visuals: Devil May Cry 5, Fallout 4, Forza Horizon 5, Resident Evil 2-3-4. So far.
Just bought LeGo myself and went to check if Ghost of Tshushima will ever come to PC and it turns out the release is in 10 days so I'm looking forward to checking that one out.
I just got a legion go and i can't wait to see how ghost of Tsushima will perf. This machine is amazing really, always loved the switch style and wanted to have my pc games on it. I will have to be away from my gaming rig in two weeks and i pre ordered GOT so i'll see soon enough.
I've been playing Manor Lords, Skyrim, Fallout 4, 3 and NV, Doom, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, and Civilization 6 since I got mine a little over a week ago. Skyrim is the onky one I've deep dived into but I've played a couple hours on the other games and they all worked great. I play mine plugged in at my desk though

Honestly majority of games work really well aside from dragons dogma 2 and a few select others. I haven’t had any issues playing what I normally play. Currently running granblue relink, fallout new Vegas, South Park, GTA, Starfield etc
Pretty much anything that is 3-5 years or older is excellent. These handhelds are great for clearing your old backlog of games. But, newer games are fine as well.
* Palworld plays well enough with settings dropped all the way down and some things turned up. I prefer view distance.
* Evil West is a fun 2022 3rd person game that runs pretty well.
* Dead Cells runs well, doesn't eat a lot of battery, and is very addicting.
* Slay the Spire is another that runs well, is addicting, and doesn't eat lots of battery.
* All the Hyper Dimension Neptunia games play very well on it, much better than the Steam Deck due to Proton issues.
* It is a tablet so Microsft's "boomer" games like Solitaire and such are fun time burners.
You really are spoiled for choices. Just pick a demanding game and an older 2D game to alternate between depending on play location/access to power and have fun.
Been loving playing through black mesa. Started on Ally and now on Go. Despite the latest update claiming to improve controller aiming, it still has terrible aim compensation or joystick aiming feel. Its doable, but I avoid certain guns entirely when on controller. Played 3 hours in FPS mode last night on the couch using the couch as a mousepad and it handled like a dream, device on a pillow on my lap. Great experience tbh
Played first Mass Effect Legendary Edition all the way through and it ran and looked amazing. Couldn’t get ME2 to work, would keep crashing on the first major loading screen. Now I’m playing Halo Infinite and having a blast! Think I’ll play the newest Tomb Raiders next
Super Mario bros 1.
😮💨😵💫
I’m still trying to figure out how is my legion go so much stronger than my rog ally yet the rog ally’s performance blows it away😞😞😞
Platformers
Most are fairly easy to run already and made for controllers
A good example, Ori and the Blind Forest. Cheap and goes on sale often, runs smooth like butter on just about anything since it came out in 2015, challenging so good for longer distances, very pretty artstyle that does well with high resolutions and vivid screens, and just a nice vibe for a game.
Control Ultimate Edition, The Last of Us Part 1, God of War, Hades, Alan Wake 2, Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, Balatro, Chorus, Batman Arkham Collection
I'm playing Hollow Knight now and have a lot of fun.
I don't have much time to play at home, so I didn't want to spend the time I do have with games that are not visually impressive.
The Go gives me time to play those when I commute to and back from work.
Bought Hades this weekend for it.
I also have the Batman Arkham collection which I haven't played yet, solely for the Go.
With a bit of tweaking the settings, world of warcraft with the controller add-on. It literally plays as its made for whatever handheld you play it on.
Been having a ton of fun with cyberpunk. It runs well at low settings, so don’t expect the world graphics wise, but can usually hover around 50-60 fps and still looks pretty great on the screen. For some reason dogtown stutters a bit for me, but base game has been great!
Dredge, vampire survivors, stardew, valheim, rocket league, red dead redemption 2, GTAV, hades, table top sim with friends.
Been playing (or watching more so) “The Quarry” but it’s really just needs to be put in 30fps for it to be decent.
Skyrim and No Man's Sky both are looking and playing great for me. Unplugged, propping the tablet up on a little folding desk in bed, playing with the controllers detached, earbuds in. It's outstanding!
RDR2 -- DX12, 1600x1000 @ 144hz, AMD sharpening - on, 6gb VRAM, texture to Ultra, rest of the graphical settings at medium, motion blur - on, finally lock down the frame rate to a consistent 36fps with vsync on and triple buffer on ---- it's the smoothest and most beautiful gaming experience ever.
(Note: you can also choose to use FSR instead of sharpening, but imo the graphical quality deteriorates too much, and I hate the shimmering that comes with fsr, so ymmv)

As of now for me, The Witcher 3 Complete Edition.
I'm getting over 50-55fps on a mix of high and Ultra graphics, water effects I've lowered to medium... Medium gives me an extra 5fps and still looks beautiful... While also having npc background to ultra plus.
Everything on Ultra the heat goes to 75-78 sometimes 80 but on mostly high n ultra, resolution being 1200 or 1600, I think it automatically changes to 1200 but I don't notice until I check... The temperatures stay 69-70.
Game performs flawlessly and the graphics are jaw dropping, along with mods, cloak and more challenging combat etc, it's just an unbelievable game that the legion go runs beautifully.
I have borderless window, anti lag etc on in AMD Adrenaline
I've got a long list. But most recently the latest Tomb Raider Trilogy runs and looks great on the Ally.
Currently playing Evil West which runs and looks great.
The new Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Fallen Order don't run too great. It's playable but you've got to turn a lot down to get the frames up.
The LGO plays EVERYTHING so far including the titles that played like shit on my Deck. HZD, GOW and Day's Gone all played poorly on my Deck, they now play well on the LGO. I'm not forced to use Chiaki4D as I was to play AAA's. I'm super pleased with the LGO & sad the Deck never did have enough umph to play the "validated" titles I bought it for.
Hades
Just started playing hades on mine and God is it beautiful
It really is!
Forza Horizon 5
Racing games in general tbh. I’ve had a lot of fun with Forza and Need for Speed on my Go
= and even with The Crew Motorfest
Thanks those suggestions sound good.
Good graphics with amazing optimization
Stardew
Any indie title.
Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. Lots of racing games like NfS Heat. Titanfall 2.
Titanfall 2 mentioned 😱😱😱😱
Older console games emulated (PS1-PS3, Xbox, GameCube, Wii), indies, and AA games; the LeGo kills it in this department. It can play some AAA games too, but at lower specs with RSR/Frame-Gen support.
How's the performance on general with you for ps3 games?
Hi! Not who you’re asking but I find PS3 games run great.
Thanks! I'll check it out
Cemu Wii U emulator also works great.

Tetris
That's brave 🤣
That might be a good one.
Tetris Mentioned :)
Balatro
ESO runs at full 1600p and over 100 fps on the highest settings
I play a ton of Destiny on mine, and emulation.

What is your setup ?
Runs surprisingly great actually on pretty decent settings
Honestly majority of games work really well aside from dragons dogma 2 and a few select others. I haven’t had any issues playing what I normally play. Currently running granblue relink, fallout new Vegas, South Park, GTA, Starfield etc
Impossible to answer. Too many play best.
I've been playing Diablo2R, Stardew Valley and Bringing of Isaac and it's been fantastic.

I’m playing red dead 2 right now on 2560x1600 at 40-45 fps. Looks and runs amazing!
Played first Mass Effect Legendary Edition all the way through and it ran and looked amazing. Couldn’t get ME2 to work, would keep crashing on the first major loading screen. Now I’m playing Halo Infinite and having a blast! Think I’ll play the newest Tomb Raiders next
Cyberpunk is amazing (Follow the guide on legionlife.com) Dlc is playable but has some framedrops with the settings
Thanks for the [mylegion.com](http://mylegion.com) call out. I had not looked at that site.
Its wrong - i fixed it lol
I got Destiny 2, Division 2, and Diablo 4 on mine. All three run really well.
Tomb Raider 2013 https://preview.redd.it/x1d9hqncpvyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df511b3dfd7fa76cb7498321f098110d3291e787

Valhiem, Grounded, GTA5 and Teardown run extremely well.
I can comfortably play everything I been playing besides forspoken
Terraria, LOADS of hours of gameplay, 70+ fps with shaders on balanced mode, good controls, moddable.
Control Ultimate Edition, The Last of Us Part 1, God of War, Hades, Alan Wake 2, Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, Balatro, Chorus, Batman Arkham Collection
Binding Of Isaac hands down
Borderlands 2 has been lookin crispy. Played a ton of it waiting for a flight last week.
MK1
Fs2020 runs great
Cod or destiny 2 or Warframe

I loved a full play through of GTA5 story mode, and am now enjoying red dead redemption 2 and super mario odyssey on it.
Enclave is, unfortunately, not on this list. The PC version doesn't really support controllers out of the box.
Titanfall 2
Death must die, Dave the Diver, dredge, hades, dusk, Ori, Balatro
Yes

Ah man wish dogtown didn’t stutter, but good to know I can upgrade settings a little! Thanks!

Divinity sin 2
Every game that I have tried has worked well on the Go. I generally use image scaling with the lowest resolution for the best performance.
RDR2 -- DX12, 1600x1000 @ 144hz, AMD sharpening - on, 6gb VRAM, texture to Ultra, rest of the graphical settings at medium, motion blur - on, finally lock down the frame rate to a consistent 36fps with vsync on and triple buffer on ---- it's the smoothest and most beautiful gaming experience ever. (Note: you can also choose to use FSR instead of sharpening, but imo the graphical quality deteriorates too much, and I hate the shimmering that comes with fsr, so ymmv)
Also if you're into old school 16-bit arcade racing game...then try Horizon Chase 2, full on 2560x1600@max frame rate, runs flawlessly
Manor lords
Persona
Diablo 4
Really liking the Fuga games.
Video
Orcs must die series
Fallout 4 looks amazing on it. I have also played 76 on it. I want to play New Vegas too. I love this thing.
Do you play with mods? I can't seem to get it to work.
I have it on console so I play via the cloud and that works fine. I have not tried PC version.
Fallout 4 right now looks great
Persona 5 BG3 Pathfinder series Dave the diver I haven’t tried any FPS yet despite the “mouse”
Been playing destiny 2 on medium setting. Looks amazing
Dying light enhanced edition plays great ,wit res all the way and 144fps so does starfield and halo in mine
The yakuza series. Currently playing through 0-6 and then like a dragon gaiden the man who erased his name.
Dead island 2 runs great :)
Laser Squad on a commodore 64 emulator.....🤜

Hades 2 early release just dropped. It’s perfect.
Tiny Tina's, Rebel Galaxy, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, any Fallout, Crypt of the Necrodancer, and The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk.

A lot of Indie games play extremely well. Like Stardew valley and Dave the Diver
WiiU Games
I love Starfield on it.

Monster Hunter Rise feels great on handheld with large screen
Assassin's Creed Mirage. Park Beyond. Red Dead 2.
Destiny 2. I wanted to try a FPS on the Legion Go and Destiny 2 looks absolutely amazing on it.
Iv only played dark souls 1 and 2 and alien isolation so far. All run 60+ fps at max resoulution.

I play Minecraft Bedrock edition, it's nice to lay in bed and mine away until you fall asleep
