Can I Run Shadowrun: Hong Kong?
Released in 2015, Shadowrun: Hong Kong is an adventure indie game built by Harebrained Schemes. Publishing duties went to Paradox Interactive. It offers a single player campaign. There are 60 achievements to chase. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. Metacritic places it at 81. Over 3 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. 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 old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use.
