About

Darkout, released in 2013, is an indie action-adventure game that combines survival and strategy elements. Players find themselves as the sole survivor of a crash on a mysterious planet, where they must gather resources to craft new weapons and technologies while navigating a world filled with hostile shadow creatures. The game's unique environment is perpetually shrouded in darkness, creating a distinct atmosphere that heightens the tension and challenge of survival.

In terms of PC performance, Darkout is relatively accessible, with minimum hardware requirements allowing it to run on entry-level GPUs, which typically score around 1054. Players can expect playable FPS even on lower-end systems with just 2 GB of RAM. For smoother gameplay, a mid-range GPU would enhance graphics settings and overall performance, offering a more fluid experience while exploring the dark, treacherous world of Darkout.

Should you play Darkout? Given its rating of 50/100, it might not be for everyone, but fans of the survival genre and indie games may find enjoyment in its unique challenges and atmospheric gameplay. If you appreciate resource management and crafting mechanics within an eerie exploration setting, it could be worth a try, especially if you're equipped with the right GPU to meet the game's demands.

Performance profile

Released in December 2013, Darkout 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.

Darkout 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 — Darkout 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.
