It's not a life-changing game like NITW or Fran Bow, but that would be apples with oranges. It's a well made new style open-world game - kill enemies in areas, collect stuff to upgrade you, satisfying "unlocked" icon appears on map. I think this is the first of its kind on GOG (AAA ones are on Steam in the millions). I'm into it.

I'm really interested, but I'm not completely sure how well it will run on my system. Anyone played it with the minimum requirements yet?

Looks like a lot of fun, system specs are no problem, got a decent download connection at the hotel, put in a crapload of extra hours this damn machine installation, and I need to blow some shit up.

In other words, instabought.

Don't disappoint me, Tölva! I'm not in the mood. ; )

Minimum system requirements - Windows: 7 / 8.1 / 10 (64-bit)
Processor: Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz, or equivalent.
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB, or equivalent.

8 GB ram minimum??????????


It looks good (time to test out my recently acquired 1050 TI video card ).
Look forward to some reviews about the performance and game in general before i buy.wishlisted for now

Took a leap of faith (based on my educated guess that the recommended spec of 16GB was either a bit of an exaggeration from the developers, a "nice to have" sort of thing or probably just a safety margin) and bought the game. I've explored about half of the initial map and the RAM usage so far has been fairly constant at around 6GB throughout the game.

Will there be a need for 16GB in later missions? Who knows. Something tells me that I'll be fine with my meager 8GB though.

The game is interesting so far and has a rather nice SF detective story setting to it. I'm not sure why, but the droid speech in the game reminds me of the Selkath of Manaan (SW: KotoR)... and robotic fish lips don't sound that bad to be honest.
I'm quite near the minimum specs. It's fluent on low settings @ 720p, I can even up most things to medium without taking much of a hit on performance. You'll have to give up hope of any form of AA though.

Thank you!

Except people aren't necessarily complaining because the game requirements exceed their system specs, they're complaining because the game's requirements make this looks like a ridiculous, unoptimized mess.

I have a system that is quite capable of running AAA games such as Witcher 3 ( only 6 to 8 GB required RAM, by the way ) or Dark Souls 3, so I think it's fair to assume that it should be able to run this game as well. Fancy AI shenanigans aside, this really looks more like a last gen release.

Still though, $19.99 could get you something maybe better than this.

The Witcher 3 has been out how long now, also? and it is also kind of my understanding that The Witcher 3 "dumbed down" their graphics in order to sell more copies to people with less graphic-intensive machines, and also likely put their "recommended" a little lower than they ideally recommend in order to not scare people off / sell more copies. I also don't think it is "fair to assume" anything, considering the extremely far draw-distances where there are complicated actions happening (in the way of multiple units WITH complex AI going on, AND lots of graphical effects with particles - does the witcher have that going on btw? 20 units with complex AI battling out in a distance of hundreds and hundreds of yards w/such graphics and processes?)

and it is not like I *know* or presume to *know* - I just think, in general, people are apt to whine about sys. reqs. unreasonably

Why is this low rated? Here's a + for you.

Seriously, even if you have a lower end computer, playale PC games aren't really scarce, are they?

You really are comparing apples with oranges. Calling the game an "unoptimized mess" without having (I bet) the singlest clue about its inner working is bad behavior, some would say toxic. So please, get info and make some research before going that way. Cheers.
Thanks for the input.

Maybe the game optimizes its ram usage to not use too much of the detected ram, maybe you have less concurrent ai that way...

I just know that I'm extremely poor but one of the things I do put money in to when I can is upgrading my computer so I can play games because it is one of the few joys in life, and I was able to buy 12GB that long ago, but spending $20 on a game is waaayyyyy out of my price range unless I save up for it for MONTHS, so I can't help but think "you can consider just throwing 20 bucks into a game but you don't have a decent enough computer to run it???"

It's been out for nearly two years now, actually ( the base game ), but in most regards it is still state of the art. Huge streaming game world, with ridiculous amounts of detail, and filled with NPCs, creatures and other entities, along with dynamic weather, physics and all the other fancy things you'd expect of a modern AAA game.

Anyhow, processor and GPU requirements aside, around 8GB RAM is still the expected standard for most modern high-end 3D games, so I think it's not surprising when people are shocked this game asks for twice as much. And aside from supposedly complex AI ( which should primarily call for a strong processor, not tons of RAM ), I'm not sure what exactly they need the extra memory for. Witcher, Dark Souls, Minecraft or No Man's Sky all have huge streaming game worlds too, and make do with much less RAM. ( And with the exception of Minecraft, they all do it with more impressive visuals. )

I'm not sure how that matters?

You just have different priorities to some others. I wouldn't think twice about spending $20 on a whim, and I love gaming, but I've never owned a gaming PC, and probably never will. I'd rather spend the money on more games.

All I'm saying is that you probably don't need to consider system reqs much, so you're more inclined to think that people who do are whining unreasonably. I'm prone to thinking the same when people complain about games that don't have 32-bit versions, or which won't run on integrated graphics cards. It's been many years since either of those issues were relevant to me, so I don't have immediate sympathy for their point of view.

Hmm, none of my favourite Youtubers have put up post-release impressions yet. I'll just have to pick one at random... I no longer remember how I used to make purchasing decisions in the days before instant access to gameplay footage. ^_^
