About

New Colony, released in 2018, is an intriguing indie adventure game that revolves around the unique storyline of an ant tasked with starting its own colony. This narrative-driven experience combines quirky gameplay mechanics with a charming art style, making it a notable entry in the indie scene. Players will navigate various challenges as they build and manage their ant colony, providing a fresh take on adventure gaming.

When it comes to PC performance, New Colony is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 200 to run smoothly. With just 4 GB of RAM needed, even budget systems can achieve decent FPS while playing at low to medium graphics settings. As such, gamers with older hardware or integrated graphics should still expect reasonable performance when benchmarking this title.

For those who appreciate unique narratives and quirky gameplay, New Colony is certainly worth a try. Its indie charm and creative premise make it a delightful experience, particularly for fans of adventure games, even if it may not appeal to everyone in the mainstream gaming community.

Performance profile

February 2018 release. New Colony 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.

New Colony 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 — New Colony 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.
