Can I Run Metro: Last Light Redux?
Metro: Last Light Redux is an action game from 4A Games, released in 2014. Deep Silver published it. It offers a single player campaign. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux covered too. Its Metacritic score stands at 76. It is localised into 10 languages according to the store listing. Completionists have 49 achievements to work through. Cloud saves are enabled. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Its Steam review count passes 70 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card.
