Can I Run Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?!?
Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?! is a casual indie game from Daylight Studios, released in 2018. Daedalic Entertainment published it. It offers a single player campaign. There are 52 achievements to chase. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. With only 125 reviews on Steam, there is little community data on how it behaves across hardware. It is localised into 7 languages according to the store listing. Being 8 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux covered too.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a gentle, brightly drawn world. Play is structured around systems the player balances from above. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments. The load here grows with the save. An empty map tells you very little about how the machine will cope once the build is large. It is played from an isometric view.
Why Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?! is demanding
Graphics requirements for Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?! are minimal, with ATI Radeon HD5000 series or nVidia GeForce 500 GTX series named as the bar. It targets DirectX 9.0, an older feature level that almost anything still running will satisfy. The install is small at roughly 3 GB. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 48.57x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 27.32x |
| 4K | Comfortable | 12.14x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
