Can I Run Battlezone?
Battlezone is an action strategy game from Big Boat Interactive, released in 2016. Rebellion published it. It offers a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. Cloud saves are enabled. Its Steam review count passes 1 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Its Metacritic score stands at 75. Builds exist for macOS as well as Windows. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. It is old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use. There are 50 achievements to chase. 7 languages are covered by the store listing.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a science fiction setting, moving through a base the player builds up. 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. The publisher supplies 13 storefront screenshots of these environments. It is played from a first person view.
