About

Curious Expedition 2, released in 2021, is a unique blend of adventure, indie, RPG, simulation, and strategy genres. This turn-based narrative roguelike transports players to a reimagined late 19th century, where procedural generation creates utterly distinct and engaging adventures with each playthrough. With a rating of 70/100, the game stands out for its innovative storytelling and richly detailed world, enticing players to explore the unknown.

In terms of PC performance, Curious Expedition 2 is relatively accessible for most gamers. The minimum requirements specify an entry-level GPU with a score of around 300, making it suitable for budget-conscious players. You can expect to achieve smooth gameplay and satisfactory FPS at lower graphics settings on hardware like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 460, while mid-range GPUs can enhance the experience with higher graphics settings and improved performance.

If you're a fan of strategic gameplay and narrative-driven experiences, Curious Expedition 2 is definitely worth your time. Its intriguing blend of genres and satisfying mechanics make it a solid choice, especially for those who enjoy exploring historically-inspired adventures with a twist. Overall, despite its modest rating, the game offers a captivating experience worth exploring.

Performance profile

Released in January 2021, Curious Expedition 2 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, Curious Expedition 2 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 — Curious Expedition 2 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

A grand discovery has been made: mysterious islands that have begun to appear and vanish from the Atlantic as if by magic. The great Explorer Clubs are funding expeditions to these strange islands to bring treasures back for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris. Are you bold enough to join the adventure?
