Can I Run Samorost 3?
Released in 2016, Samorost 3 is an adventure casual game built by Amanita Design. The game supports a single player campaign. It is not Windows only, with macOS covered too. Critics scored it 80 on Metacritic. 27 languages are covered by the store listing. Cloud saves are enabled. There are 30 achievements to chase. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. With more than 4 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.

Why Samorost 3 is demanding
Samorost 3 barely touches the GPU. Its stated Intel HD 4000 target is below anything currently sold. At 1 GB, system memory is undemanding. Samorost 3 takes about 1 GB of disk space.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Samorost 3?
Samorost 3 is light on hardware. Its minimum, Intel HD 4000, 1 GB RAM, about 1 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
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.
