Can I Run Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut?
Released in 2013, Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut is an action adventure game built by Rising Star Games. It offers a single player campaign. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. 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. It carries 60 achievements. With more than 3 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Critics scored it 59 on Metacritic. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. It is localised into 5 languages according to the store listing. The game ships for Windows alone.
