About

Cobalt, released in 2016, is an action-packed adventure platformer developed by Oxeye Game Studio. Notable for its unique blend of shoot, roll, punch, and jump mechanics, the game offers a thrilling couch multiplayer experience where players control a cyborg on a mission to investigate the disappearance of a human colony on an alien planet. This indie gem showcases vibrant graphics and fluid animations, making it stands out in the crowded gaming landscape.

When it comes to PC performance, Cobalt is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 800 to achieve decent FPS. With just 2 GB of RAM, even older gaming setups can run this title smoothly, allowing players to enjoy the action without the need for high-end hardware. Players can expect stable performance even at lower graphics settings, providing an excellent benchmark for casual and indie gaming experiences.

With an impressive rating of 80/100, Cobalt is definitely worth playing, especially if you enjoy action adventure games and multiplayer fun. Its unique mechanics and cooperative gameplay make it a solid choice for both casual gamers and those seeking a competitive edge in local or online sessions.

Performance profile

Released in February 2016, Cobalt sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

Cobalt is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — Cobalt 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.

Storyline

After the missing human colony "Trunkopia" suddenly sends out a distress signal after 50 years, Agent Cobalt, a type of cyborg called a metalface, is sent to investigate.
