The premise, in the publisher's words
Stacking is an adventure puzzle video game developed by Double Fine Productions and published by THQ in February 2011 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 video game consoles. A Windows version was released in March 2012, and OS X and Linux versions were released in May 2013. Like Double Fine's previous Costume Quest, it is a smaller title created during the development period of Brütal Legend.
How it plays
It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are comedy and historical. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 21 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Stacking holds a critic score of 84 out of 100. That places it above 81% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2011 averaged 68, so it scored 16 points above the year average. Players rate it 75, 9 points lower than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 5.8 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 8 hrs, roughly 1.4 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $1.99, that works out to about $0.34 per hour of the main story, or $0.25 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 1.8 GHz dual core CPU, 1 GB RAM and 256 MB GeForce 8800, Radeon 3850, or Intel HD 2000 Graphics. At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 2GB. 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 costs, and where
The cheapest verified price right now is $1.99 at GOG, 80% below its usual price.
