About

"Linked," released in 2017, is a unique indie game that combines elements of puzzle and strategy within a relaxing, minimalistic 2D environment. Players navigate through a series of interconnected puzzles that challenge their spatial reasoning and critical thinking, standing out for its calming aesthetic and engaging gameplay mechanics. Its distinct blend of simplicity and challenge makes it a notable entry in the indie game scene.

For PC performance, "Linked" is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 400 to ensure smooth gameplay and optimal FPS. With just 1 GB of RAM needed, even budget-friendly setups can run this title without issue. Players can expect satisfactory performance on lower-end hardware while still enjoying clean graphics settings, making it an excellent choice for those with less powerful systems.

If you appreciate indie games that encourage thoughtful problem-solving, you should definitely consider playing "Linked." With its positive ratings and relaxing atmosphere, it appeals to puzzle enthusiasts looking for an enjoyable gaming experience that doesn’t tax your hardware.

Performance profile

February 2017 release. Linked 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.

As a strategy title, Linked 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 — Linked 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.
