What are some lightweight and well-optimized games that can run easily and smoothly on an entry level PC? Things like Torchlight II, Minecraft, retro emulators, Binding of Isaac, Don't Starve, Terraria, Stardew Valley, Shovel Knight, Hotline Miami. Basically low poly and pixel art games. Older polygonal games like Half-Life, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure and F.E.A.R. all run well, too. Any suggestions?
Try Doom 4. You might be surprised how nicely it runs.

Honestly Doom 2016 is surprisingly well optimized too.
I want to say Dwarf Fortress, but 'splosions fuck all of that up.
