Can I run this game with my Graphics card?
It's Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620. Is there a demo of the game I can try to make sure it runs ok before buying the full game?

No, Integrated graphics are not supported, as per the minimum requirements on the steam store page.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7 or higher
Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD Athlon X4 740 (or equivalent)
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 660 (2048 MB) or Radeon R9 285 (2048 MB) - Integrated GPUs may work but are not supported.
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Storage: 4 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX compatible

You require an actual dedicated video card to play this game.

Except the APUs from AMD with integrated graphics, they've a "full" GPU (but use system RAM), they work for games (but are slower than a midrange GPU, of course).

So if we speak about "integrated graphics not supportet" we mean the "SD Graphics" from Intel.

AMD or Intel or not, it doesn't really matter in regards to the requirements for this game. The bottom line is anyone trying to play PCBS without a dedicated GPU should expect they're on their own and no support from anyone because it's an unsupported configuration. They shouldn't be doing it at all in the first place, it needs a dedicated gpu.

So you see no difference between Vega 8 or 11 and IGP 620 / 630? Or the Kaby Lake G with Vega M which is faster than a comparable Intel CPU together with 1050 Ti (and much above the requirements)?

On one side iGPU made for office and browser games and bad driver support and the other side (smaller) Radeon / Vega cores with good driver support for games.

Like in other games, if "integrated graphics" is mentioned, then the topic is Intel iGPU and not the APUs.

Remember, the devs have not much parts for testing the game in many constellations, compare the graphics and system requirements for example with Prey and Doom (2016). Yes, this game "needs" a better GPU than Prey or Doom!

Since you seem to think this is a viable option then I would suggest you actually go buy one of these systems, use their graphics, then play PCBS on it and report back to us how well (or not) it runs. Until you do so, then for all you know these systems could run incredibly poorly in PCBS. Or they could run fantastically in PCBS. We'll never know unless someone using them reports in. Until then.. all we have is the system requirements, which says dedicated GPU. So until we know otherwise, that's what we'll have to continue telling everyone.

My Intel HD 4600 is actually worse in most areas than the HD 620, and I run the game just fine. I don't get very good fps and my graphics are set to low but this isn't a game that requires crazy high fps and graphics anyway. Of course it depends on whether the rest of your PC will bog it down, too. Mine is fairly good except for the integrated graphics. I really can't tell you whether it will be playable on your PC, but you could always try it and grab a refund from Steam as long as you've played less than two hours and owned the game for less than two weeks, if it doesn't work.

Upon further research my CPU just barely isn't good enough either. I don't think it'll work.

You can always use the refund as a "trial" and see if it runs, my integrated pentium g3220 doesnt get worst fps if i lower resolution

umm i have vega 7, 55600g cpu and works fine on medium

and integrated graphs use ram of pc so its gonna eat more ram than normal gpu
Old ass thread, but for what it's worth the game is out on GeForce Now so it should be able to stream on even the biggest potato-PC.
