What you need to run it

At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today.

What it launched against
Graceful Explosion Machine launched on 6 April 2017, within three weeks of Mass Effect: Andromeda, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, What Remains of Edith Finch and Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
