Can I Run Mini Metro?
Dinosaur Polo Club released Mini Metro in 2015. It is an indie simulation game, self published by the studio. It offers a single player campaign. Its Steam review count passes 12 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. It is localised into 25 languages according to the store listing. Completionists have 73 achievements to work through. 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. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux covered too. It is old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use. Metacritic places it at 77.
