I love the concept of Rodina, but the demo lags like crap on my pc. Is there anything similar that would run with my Intel HD graphics card? I can't get a new pc for a while. I really want a game like Rodina where I can explore and interact with my ship as well as planets and, of course, space travel.
I was going to say Elite: Dangerous but if Rodina won't run on your pc then I'm not sure there are many other games with the same concept that would.
Sundog but I am guessing you may want something a little more modern.
Parkan 2 from 2006 and can bought on Steam and Gamer Gate, it some what similar to Rodina although reviews tend to be very mixed towards the game some love it others hate it. But you may have the same problem as you had with Rodina and I don't know if the demo is still available.
I'll check those out. Thanks for the replies.
