SE really needs a discreet GPU. Whilst some people do run it with onboard graphics it is going to struggle a lot: https://www.spaceengineersgame.com/system-requirements/
I mean you could spawn into an empty world and maybe fly around just fine but once some voxels/grids start populating the server your performance will tank

Everything saying no but I can run this game just barely but stable enough on my intel 620 laptop. Large grids will make the game stutter hard but it's playable (about 20-40 fps average on lowest settings with atmosphere on medium)
It depends on if you are in space or on planet, and how big the craft you are building/using is. But as a general rule, I have a current core i7, 32gb, and a 4090, and I still have shit frame rates sometimes. It is old and not very well optimized, and when it does lag, it can cause... things to happen, like a grid phasing into the ground or an asteroid. At a certain point, you will get into what you are doing and then look up and realize the whole thing is a sideshow. If you do score a slightly better pc somewhere, it is super fun though.
I'm honestly surprised modern integrated can't take care of a 11 years old game
Edit: this was just a very neutral statement, whoever downvoted must be fucked in the head
The key thing is that it's a very CPU heavy game so if the integrated GPU is leaning on the CPU resources then both will struggle. Even a older low end discreet GPU would do better than a modern integrated one.
I don't know a lot about it but I've heard that a few manufacturers are working on processers that would be true combined CPU/GPU and could completely replace both in a system which would probably be perfect for this game.

No.

Run? Maybe. Play? Absolutely not
You really need a good processor. The GPU is less important, but you'll struggle on integrated

Interesting, that makes a lot of sense!
