Can I Run South Park: The Stick of Truth?
Released in 2014, South Park: The Stick of Truth is an action adventure game built by Obsidian Entertainment. Publishing duties went to Ubisoft. The game supports a single player campaign. The game ships for Windows alone. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. Its Steam review count passes 60 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. It carries 50 achievements. Steam lists support for 8 languages.
