What Pathfinder: Kingmaker is
Pathfinder: Kingmaker is an adventure game developed by Owlcat Games and released in 2018. It was published by Deep Silver. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
To the north lie the Stolen Lands, a region that has been contested territory for centuries. Hundreds of kingdoms have risen and fallen in these lands, and now it is time for you to make your mark—by building your own kingdom! To do so, you’ll need to survive the harsh wilderness and the threat of rival nations… as well as threats within your own court. Pathfinder: Kingmaker is based on Paizo’s award-winning Pathfinder Adventure Path of the same name. You certainly don’t need to be familiar with the story, but if you are, you will encounter characters you know and love as well as a host of brand-new events, companions, allies, and threats that expand and enhance the original Adventure Path…

The main story runs about 165 hrs.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Celeron 1037U @ 1.80GHz, 4 GB RAM and Intel HD Graphics 3000. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 30GB. 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
Pathfinder: Kingmaker launched on 25 September 2018, within three weeks of Marvel's Spider-Man, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Marvel's Spider-Man and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Marvel's Spider-Man, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Marvel's Spider-Man, Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
