Can the Macbook Pro run games?

So, out of the box, MacBook Pro is not good forgaming. You can play many casual steam games, youcan even play many MOBAs, FPS games and Hearthstone,but graphic intensive games such as Witcher 3 are out of thequestion. The reason for this is solely the laptop GPU, howeverthere are options, like eGPU cases.
