About
NPCs, released in 2018, is an indie game that offers a satirical take on modern culture by placing players in a world inhabited by NPCs who are intent on thwarting their progress. As the sole player character, you navigate this unique landscape filled with challenges that reflect contemporary societal issues. The game's quirky premise and humor have garnered it a rating of 70/100, making it a notable entry in the indie genre.
When it comes to performance benchmarks, NPCs is quite accessible, running well on entry-level hardware. To achieve smooth gameplay and decent FPS, you’ll want at least an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 303, alongside 4 GB of RAM. This makes the game easy to run for those with budget PCs while still providing a satisfying experience at moderate graphics settings.
Whether you should play NPCs depends on your appreciation for indie games that challenge societal norms through humor. With its solid rating and engaging gameplay, it’s recommended for players looking for a unique experience in a less demanding title that delivers enjoyable performance metrics.
Performance profile
December 2018 release. NPCs 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.
Indie and casual titles are typically light on hardware. NPCs runs well on almost any modern GPU, including integrated graphics on recent laptops — you won't need a dedicated card for a smooth experience.
Extremely light — NPCs 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.
