Can I Run Duck Game?
Released in 2015, Duck Game is an action indie game built by Landon Podbielski. Publishing duties went to CORPTRON GAMES CORP.. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Metacritic places it at 82. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Over 25 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. There are 18 achievements to chase. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress.
