About

"Making History: The First World War," released in 2020, is a turn-based grand strategy game that immerses players in the complex dynamics of World War I. As a notable entry in the indie and simulation genres, the game challenges players to strategize military movements, develop modern weaponry, and engage in the extensive attrition battles that characterized this historical conflict. With a rating of 70/100, it appeals to gamers looking for a thoughtful approach to warfare and geopolitics.

In terms of PC performance, "Making History: The First World War" is quite accessible for a wide range of systems. To achieve optimal performance, players should have at least an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 200. With a minimum of 4 GB of RAM, most users can expect stable FPS and smooth gameplay even on lower graphics settings. This makes it a great option for those who may not have high-end gaming rigs but still want an engaging strategic experience.

Should you delve into this historical strategy title? With its solid rating and unique gameplay mechanics, "Making History: The First World War" is a compelling choice for fans of the genre. If you enjoy strategy games with a focus on decision-making and historical contexts, this title is worth exploring, especially considering its relatively modest hardware requirements.

Performance profile

Released in August 2020, Making History: The First World War 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, Making History: The First World War 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 — Making History: The First World War 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.
