Can I Run Offworld Trading Company?

Released in 2016, Offworld Trading Company is an indie simulation game built by Mohawk Games. Publishing duties went to Stardock Entertainment. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Over 3 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. 9 languages are covered by the store listing. Critics scored it 78 on Metacritic. It is not Windows only, with macOS covered too. 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. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. It carries 255 achievements. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card.
