About

"Side by Size," released in 2023, is an indie strategy puzzle game that creatively combines damage and healing mechanics to alter the game's layout. With 100 hand-crafted puzzles, players must strategically get hurt to unlock paths to the exit, challenging traditional puzzle-solving norms. This unique approach gives "Side by Size" its notable charm, making it an engaging experience for fans of the genre.

In terms of PC performance, "Side by Size" is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 58. With just 1 GB of RAM needed, it runs smoothly on lower-end hardware. For those looking to get optimal performance, a GPU from the entry-level tier should still deliver satisfactory FPS, allowing players to enjoy the game without the need for high-end specs. Adjusting graphics settings can further enhance the experience while maintaining decent performance.

If you're a fan of indie and strategy genres, "Side by Size" is definitely worth a try. With its innovative gameplay and intriguing mechanics, the game offers a fresh take on puzzles, making it highly recommendable for enthusiasts and casual gamers alike.

Performance profile

September 2023 release. As a current-generation title, Side by Size pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.

As a strategy title, Side by Size 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 — Side by Size 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.
