About

Blacktail, released in 2022, is an captivating action-adventure RPG where players step into the role of Yaga, a witch navigating a beautifully crafted open world steeped in Slavic mythology. The game’s unique blend of storytelling and exploration allows players to develop Yaga's skills, shaping her into either a guardian of the forest or a fearsome legend that terrifies the local children. Its engaging narrative and atmospheric visuals make Blacktail a standout title in the genre.

In terms of PC performance, Blacktail is relatively accessible while still delivering stunning graphics and an immersive experience. To play the game smoothly, a minimum entry-level GPU is required, with a score of around 6138, along with a CPU score of approximately 2994 and at least 8 GB of RAM. For optimal frame rates (FPS) and to enjoy higher graphics settings, upgrading to a mid-range GPU like the NVIDIA GTX 1660 or AMD RX 580 can significantly enhance your gaming experience.

Given its commendable rating of 81/100, Blacktail is worth trying for fans of action-adventure and RPGs. With its intriguing mythological themes and engaging gameplay mechanics, players looking for a rich world to explore should definitely consider adding this title to their library.

Performance profile

Released in December 2022, Blacktail 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.

RPGs like Blacktail stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Blacktail. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.

Storyline

You are Yaga, a 16-year-old girl accused of witchcraft and expelled from an early medieval Slavic settlement. When living memories of her past return as foul spirits walking the earth, Yaga’s best choice is to do what she does best: hunt them down. Create the myth of Baba Yaga by living out the origins of this classic Slavic folk story in Blacktail, the first-person action-adventure from The Parasite. Experience a one-of-a-kind blend of intense archery combat and dark storytelling. Choose your path to become the guardian of the woods or the terror nightmares are based on.
