Can I Run CrossCode?
Released in 2018, CrossCode is an action adventure game built by Radical Fish Games. Publishing duties went to Deck13. It offers a single player campaign. Its 8 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Critics scored it 86 on Metacritic. Its Steam review count passes 16 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Completionists have 86 achievements to work through. Cloud saves are enabled. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. It is localised into 5 languages according to the store listing. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works.
