Can I Run Aquarist?
FreeMind S.A. released Aquarist in 2024. It is a casual indie game, published by PlayWay S.A.. It offers a single player campaign. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. It carries 921 Steam reviews, a small sample, so first hand performance reports are thin. Completionists have 64 achievements to work through. Cloud saves are enabled. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Steam lists support for 27 languages.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an open sandbox, moving through systems the player balances from above. What taxes the PC is the number of things being simulated, which means the requirements describe the start of a game, not the end of one. 20 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. It is played from a first person view.
Why Aquarist is demanding
Aquarist is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVidia GeForce GTX 1050 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Aquarist. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Aquarist scales hard with the hardware you give it. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. Disk footprint is light, near 10 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Aquarist?
Aquarist is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVidia GeForce GTX 750, 4 GB RAM, about 10 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.27x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 1.84x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.82x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Aquarist's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
