About

The Highscore, released in 2019, is an electrifying action shoot 'em up that challenges players to survive relentless waves of enemies. With only five lives and unique abilities at your disposal, success hinges on your skill and quick reflexes as you strive to accumulate points and achieve the highest score possible. Its straightforward yet addictive gameplay makes The Highscore a notable entry in the action genre for gamers looking for high-octane fun.

In terms of PC performance, The Highscore is quite accessible, running smoothly on entry-level GPUs with a minimum benchmark score of around 215. This means you can expect decent FPS even on basic hardware, as long as you have at least 4 GB of RAM. For optimal performance, a mid-range GPU can enhance your experience, allowing for better frame rates and improved graphics settings, which can make the frantic action even more visually appealing.

If you're a fan of action-packed games that test your skills under pressure, The Highscore is definitely worth playing. With its engaging mechanics and competitive scoring system, it has received positive feedback from players who enjoy challenging gameplay in a compact package.

Performance profile

April 2019 release. The Highscore 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.

Action titles like The Highscore reward high framerates for visual clarity during combat. A mid-range modern GPU at 1440p 60–120 FPS is the practical sweet spot; VRR (G-Sync/FreeSync) smooths out drops during heavy effects.

Extremely light — The Highscore 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.
