Can I Run Shadowrun: Dragonfall?
Harebrained Schemes released Shadowrun: Dragonfall in 2014. It is an adventure indie game, published by Paradox Interactive. The game supports a single player campaign. 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. There are 39 achievements to chase. Its Steam review count passes 5 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Cloud saves are enabled. Critics scored it 87 on Metacritic. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS and Linux.
