Genshin might work. However, I recommend that you use a discrete graphics card for optimal performance, as the game has high system requirements. You can find more information about this here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000057778/graphics.html#:~:text=Though%20the%20Frames%2DPer%2DSecond,running%20on%20Intel%20Integrated%20Graphics.&text=Check%20if%20the%20system%20meet%20the%20minimum%20game%20requirements.

This is also stated in this link: https://genshin.hoyoverse.com/m/en/news/detail/103713

In addition, I advise you to install the acer-specific and custom made graphics driver, as it may be more compatible with your acer Aspire A515-58M model than the intel generic driver. This could also help us troubleshoot the issue further.

You can download the acer driver from this link and select VGA Driver(UMA) version 31.0.101.403: https://www.acer.com/us-en/support/product-support/Aspire_A515-58M

You can also get the latest intel generic driver from this link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html

Regarding stray, I have looked into its specifications and it seems that it also requires a discrete graphics card for optimal performance. Here’s the link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1332010/Stray/
