Can I run it?
I was thinking about getting this game because of the steam sale. But I'm kinda worried that my computer won't be able to run it. What do you guys think?

Specs:
Windows 10
Intel Core i5 3337u 1.8GHz
6 GB Ram
Intel HD Graphics 4000 Integrated

I hope I can run it, this game looks really good!

Well, crap that really sucks. Which part is lacking? Graphics?

The graphics system will likely cause compatibility issues, the CPU may cause performance issues.

So it's just a big maybe? Like, is it more likely not to run rather than running fine?

Intel 4000 and newer integrated GPU's might be able to play the game without issues, if it was an Intel 3000 or older integrated graphics chip I would say that it definitely wouldn't work with the game.

It wasn't until their 4000 series of integrated graphics that Intel finally stopped making terrible graphics drivers.

Your CPU clock speed will likely cripple gameplay performance.

Could I lower the graphical setting in the game to get a better performance? I can run skyrim on high settings if that helps at all.

From what I gathered so far - these spects give very poor performance in the game.

You might be able to run it. Your CPU is on par with what I have, and I run it just fine, so that isn't the problem. The game has zero 3D graphics, so your lack of a video card shouldn't be a big deal either.

I suggest paying the $10, and if it's not playable, ask for a refund.

What kind of processor and graphics card do you have?

My intel HD 3000 does 50 FPS in most places

Wow really? What's your processor? That's my main concern.

hmm, I don't know how different 1.8 ghz is to 2.3 is it a big difference?

you've also got a turbo frequency so there won't be much difference
