How it plays

It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are non-fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO), Multiplayer and Single player.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for 4 core CPU or better – Some Examples (but not limited to): Intel Core i5-6600, Intel Core i7-4790, AMD Ryzen 3 4300G, 16 GB RAM and A gaming graphics card with at least 6GB of DEDICATED memory – Some examples (but not limited to): Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070, RX 5600XT. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 25GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
