Can I Run Deep Rock Galactic?
Deep Rock Galactic is an action game from Ghost Ship Games, released in 2020. Coffee Stain Publishing published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. 17 languages are covered by the store listing. There are 69 achievements to chase. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Metacritic places it at 85. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Its Steam review count passes 301 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now.
