How it plays

It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are open world and sandbox. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 @ 2.5 GHz, 12 GB RAM and GTX 1060 or RX 6600 XT. A 12GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 8GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
