About

Sym, released in 2015, is an indie puzzle-platformer that dives deep into the theme of social anxiety disorder. Players take on the role of Josh, a teenage boy navigating through two contrasting worlds that reflect his internal struggles. The game offers a unique blend of platforming and puzzle-solving elements, inviting players to reconcile perceptions of reality with a created world meant to shield him from his fears.

In terms of PC performance, Sym is quite accessible and can run smoothly on entry-level hardware. With a minimum GPU requirement of around 330, players can expect decent FPS even on basic setups. Ideal graphics settings will allow the game to perform well on integrated graphics while providing enjoyable gameplay, making it a great option for those with lower-end systems.

Given its rating of 70/100 and its thought-provoking exploration of anxiety, Sym is worth a try for fans of indie games and narrative-driven experiences. Its engaging puzzles and creative levels offer a memorable experience, particularly for those intrigued by the intersection of mental health and gaming.

Performance profile

Released in May 2015, Sym 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.

Light on hardware. Sym runs comfortably on almost any modern GPU, including laptop integrated graphics; feel free to chase higher resolutions or refresh rates without worrying about bottlenecks.

Extremely light — Sym 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.

Storyline

Guide Josh, a teenage boy affected by social anxiety disorder, through a shifting maze of of black-and-white. Move at will between reality and the world Josh created to avoid his fears, but beware of the dangers lurking across the divide.
