Can I Run Opus Magnum?
Released in 2017, Opus Magnum is an indie simulation game built by Zachtronics. The game supports a single player campaign. It carries 6 achievements. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Critics scored it 90 on Metacritic. Its Steam review count passes 5 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux 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. At 9 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Steam lists support for 13 languages.
