About

The First Tree (2017) is a contemplative 3rd-person exploration game that weaves together two interconnected narratives: a fox's journey to find her family and a couple's emotional story intertwined with that quest. As an indie adventure title, it prioritizes narrative and atmosphere over action, inviting players to uncover artifacts and piece together the story across a beautiful, handcrafted world. The game stands out for its emotional depth and artistic presentation rather than technical spectacle.

Running The First Tree is straightforward for most modern systems, as it's an indie adventure that doesn't demand cutting-edge hardware. You'll want at least an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 3204 to maintain smooth performance, paired with 8GB of RAM. Even mid-range graphics cards will easily deliver 60 FPS or higher at standard settings, making this an accessible benchmark title for testing older or budget-conscious gaming rigs without stress testing your system.

With a solid 68/100 rating, The First Tree delivers a meaningful experience for players who appreciate indie narratives and exploration-focused gameplay. If you're drawn to emotional storytelling over competitive gameplay, it's worth experiencing despite its modest critical reception.

Performance profile

September 2017 release. The First Tree 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.

The First Tree 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.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in The First Tree; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
