Games that work with my hardware (discuss.tchncs.de)

Is there a service or knowledge base somewhere that can help you find the highest rated games for your hardware?

Background: I don’t have much time for games and just installed Bazzite on a few years old ThinkPad. I would like to play some games on it but don’t know what I can expect to be playable. I see tons of “will it run on steam deck” info but honestly couldn’t even figure out where this computers performance lies compared to a steam deck. This should be easy. Just type in specs, maybe filter genre and say “sort by meta score” or “sort by steam rating”.

Recommended specifications from developers are highly subjective, so it would be kind of pointless to really create a database of what "works" because it's different for who is writing the reviews/reports. If there was a database of what was reported solely from the developer, I guess you'd at least know what it was tested on for the best experience, but that doesn't mean someone else would rather just get it to play on the lowest settings and experience just to have it work.
