About

Before We Leave is a relaxing city-building simulation released in 2020 that puts you in charge of reconstructing civilization after your people emerge from underground. You'll manage resources, build structures like huts, farm potatoes, and expand across continents and planets in a non-violent, cozy gameplay experience. The game blends casual strategy with light management mechanics, making it accessible to players who want a stress-free gaming session.

The game is extremely accessible from a performance perspective, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 1546 to run comfortably. You'll need a modest CPU score of approximately 2488 and just 4 GB of RAM to meet minimum requirements. Even older or budget-friendly graphics cards will deliver solid FPS performance, and you won't need to compromise on graphics settings to enjoy smooth gameplay on most systems.

With a respectable 70/100 rating, Before We Leave delivers a charming experience for players seeking a laid-back simulation without the complexity of demanding titles. If you enjoy casual strategy games with minimal combat pressure, this indie gem is well worth playing.

Performance profile

Released in May 2020, Before We Leave targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

As a strategy title, Before We Leave is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Extremely light — Before We Leave runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
