Can I Run Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander?
Released in 2016, Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander is an indie role playing game built by Massive Damage, Inc.. The game supports a single player campaign. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It carries 964 Steam reviews, a small sample, so first hand performance reports are thin. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. There are 69 achievements to chase. Its Metacritic score stands at 71.
