What American Arcadia is
American Arcadia is an adventure game developed by Out of the Blue Games and released in 2023. It was published by Raw Fury. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 4.
The premise, in the publisher's words
The gripping story will be presented as a documentary with interviews and police interrogations of the characters as you progress through the game. American Arcadia gives you control over two characters in completely different environments and unique play-styles: A 2.5D action side-scroller including challenging platform action, breath-taking chases, stealth and puzzles. As well as a full 3D first-person game, with hacking, exploration, stealth elements, and puzzles to solve.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are action, comedy and mystery. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 29 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
American Arcadia holds a critic score of 81 out of 100. That places it above 73% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2023 averaged 76, so it scored 5 points above the year average.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™ i5-4670K or equivalent, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050ti or equivalent. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 20GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
American Arcadia launched on 15 November 2023, within three weeks of Alan Wake II, The Talos Principle II, The Exit 8 and Jusant. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Alan Wake II, The Talos Principle II, The Exit 8, Jusant.
