Can I Run Super Meat Boy?
Team Meat released Super Meat Boy in 2010. It is an indie game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Its Metacritic score stands at 87. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. Its Steam review count passes 29 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. It carries 48 achievements.
