About

Horace, released in 2019, is an action-adventure indie game that delivers a heartfelt, story-driven experience through its charming pixel-art graphics. The game is packed with nostalgic references to 8 and 16-bit gaming culture, making it a delightful venture for fans of the retro era. Players guide Horace through various challenges while uncovering an engaging narrative filled with emotion and humor.

In terms of PC performance, Horace is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU for optimal gameplay. With a minimum score of around 300, players can achieve stable FPS even on basic setups. At least 4 GB of RAM is necessary to run the game smoothly, allowing it to perform well on mid-range hardware without demanding high-end graphics settings. For those looking to benchmark their performance, a range of GPUs from integrated solutions to entry-level discrete cards should suffice.

If you appreciate indie games with a unique narrative twist, Horace is certainly worth your time. With a solid rating of 76/100, it stands out as an enjoyable adventure that balances fun gameplay with charming storytelling, making it a recommended addition to your gaming library.

Performance profile

July 2019 release. Horace was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Horace 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 — Horace 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

Learn how to master your strongest robot abilities and reunite Horace with his long-lost family. Adventure across the world - and time and space - to save mankind from total destruction. Run and jump your way through a comical but touching story told by the charming robot protagonist and use your wits to overcome classic 2D platforming challenges, all whilst cleaning up the mess left behind from the Robot War! Experience tons of variety along the way with parodies of classic mini games ranging from rhythm action to FPS.
