About

Meridian: New World is an indie strategy game released in 2014, where players assume the role of Daniel Hanson, the commander of a mission to the remote planet Meridian. Initially believed to be uninhabited, players are thrust into a mysterious situation as they receive an alarming distress call from the planet's surface. This unique premise and blend of exploration and survival elements set Meridian apart within the indie genre.

Despite its intriguing gameplay, Meridian: New World is quite accessible in terms of PC performance. With a minimum GPU requirement of an entry-level graphics card, players can expect to run the game smoothly at around 30-60 FPS on low to medium graphics settings. For optimal performance, a GPU with a score of approximately 141 or higher is recommended, alongside 2 GB of RAM. This means gamers with modest hardware can still enjoy a seamless gaming experience while adjusting settings for their specific setup.

Given its mixed rating of 50/100, players considering Meridian: New World should weigh their interest in indie titles and strategy games against its average performance. While the game's unique premise is intriguing, prospective players may want to explore other options in the genre if they prioritize higher-rated experiences. However, for fans of indie gaming, it may still offer a worthwhile exploration adventure.

Performance profile

Released in April 2014, Meridian: New World 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.

As a strategy title, Meridian: New World 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 — Meridian: New World 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.
