Can I Run This War of Mine?
This War of Mine is an adventure indie game from 11 bit studios, released in 2014. 11 bit studios both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign. There are 59 achievements to chase. It is localised into 12 languages according to the store listing. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux covered too. 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. With more than 88 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Critics scored it 83 on Metacritic. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Cloud saves are enabled.
