Can I Run Guacamelee! Gold Edition?
Drinkbox Studios released Guacamelee! Gold Edition in 2013. It is an action adventure game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. Completionists have 60 achievements to work through. Steam lists support for 6 languages. It keeps shared screen play alive, so a second player needs only a second controller. Cloud saves are enabled. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS and Linux. Critics scored it 88 on Metacritic. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Its Steam review count passes 3 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.
