Can I Run Bound by Flame?
Released in 2014, Bound by Flame is an action role playing game built by Spiders. Publishing duties went to Focus Entertainment. The game supports a single player campaign. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. It is not Windows only, with Linux covered too. 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. Metacritic places it at 56. 10 languages are covered by the store listing. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It carries 41 achievements. With more than 3 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.
