What Strafe is
Strafe is an arcade game developed by Pixel Titans and released in 2017. It was published by Devolver Digital. It is available on PlayStation 4, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
It’s your yearly scrapping mission, but this year is different. Your humble scout ship has been recruited to join the massive spacecraft ICARUS. They plan to head to far edge of the galaxy, to a remote sector where other scrappers have not yet dared to venture. The rewards could be unimaginable. But so are the risks. It may be unexplored space, but it’s a gamble you know you must take. You lost. You return from a run empty handed, but worse, ICARUS is no where to be found. You check your coordinates. You try the coms. No answer from your comrades on ICARUS. Yet their teleporter appears in-range and responsive. So you grab a gun “just in case” and teleport onto ICARUS. What could go wrong?
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action and science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 36 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Strafe holds a critic score of 72 out of 100. That places it above 46% of the 2,164 rated arcade games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2017 averaged 71, so it scored about average for its year.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Pentium G3250 (2 * 3200) or equivalent AMD Phenom II X4 965 (4 * 3400) or equivalent, 4 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT (1024 MB) | Intel HD Graphics 4600 (Shared memory) | AMD Radeon HD 5770 (1024 MB). 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 3GB. 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
Strafe launched on 9 May 2017, within three weeks of Prey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and What Remains of Edith Finch. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Prey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, What Remains of Edith Finch.
