I mean, how playable is the game on minimum graphics settings? As you said, I don't care if the game is prettier.


I have about 5 hours of play time on minimum setting on my 3yo Dell XPS laptop.

It runs fine but it is ugly. Still enjoying it for now, hoping they fix it before my cities get too big.


I have a 1050ti and I can play it on low graphics settings at 1080 with no depth of field. I've gotten to about city stage #5 or so and I feel that it's playable. It's not pretty but good enough to get a feel for the game and learn about the new stuff.


For me - not at all. I don't have a computer that meets their minimum system requirements. I really feel like the cycle of newer games requiring more hardware is pointless and wasteful. I wish publishers would focus on good game design and make their games accessible to people without high-powered gaming hardware.


It takes a lot of time and effort to pare down the assets and add tricks to make a game look good on lower hardware. Targeting current-gen GPUs means the devs get a better game out in the same time and budget.
