Definitely not a speedy laptop, CPU often maxes out

There is no CD/DVD drive built into this model. You can use an external, USB-base, windows 10 compatible CD/DVD drive with this computer. How well any game will run on any computer will really depend on the requirements and compatibility of the specific game. We recommend you check with the specific game's software publisher's web sites for their compatibility with Windows 10 S-Mode 64-bit operating system (Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost.) and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration. This specific computer, the Lenovo IdeaPad 330s-15 laptop, model number 81F5018EUS, is a mid-level, moderate use configuration, with its Intel Core i3-8130U processor. This Dual-Core processor has a base speed of 2.2GHz and a boost speed of up to 3.4GHz. This configuration has 4GB of DDR4-2400MHz RAM and a 128GB solid state hard drive. It is good with Microsoft Office type programs, internet browsing and other moderate work. This computer does ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. If you choose to switch out of S-Mode, here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode
