Maybe solitaire.

JK I have no idea. Maybe source mod games.

Make a gaming desktop, much better than "gaming" laptops.

Most will probably tell you no since that laptop only has an integrated GPU (Intel HD 4000 in your case). If you simply want those listed games to run, they should, but I personally wouldn't expect too much in terms of graphical performance.

My friend recommended it to me, the original idea was for me to make a gaming desktop, but I'm on a pretty small budget.

Video on building a gaming PC for around your budget.

This youtuber also has more videos for different price ranges.

Pretty much this. OP it can run the games, but for the most part on low. If that is fine with you then buy it if not then get a better laptop or build a desktop.

Well maybe some games but with integrated graphics don't expect to be able to run Total War on anything but low.

400 Pounds is equivalent to $630-ish.

Just browse his videos or do youtube searches. I'm sure you'll find something that will suit your preferences and budget.
