Cities Skylines

Do you think Cities: Skylines will be playable on lowest settings with an i5-4200M + Intel HD Graphics?

Quoting Steam page:

Guess it wouldn't be playable. Although one guy managed to run it on his MBA with integrated graphics, so I guess that's hit and miss.

Unfortunately not, it specifies that it won't run on Intel graphics.

I've run it on similar CPU with 4400 HD graphics. It wasn't ideal, but it's playable.

I thought Citites Skyline was more demanding... Assuming my A6-3650 would run on it then. I don't think that it'll be ideal on a i5-4200m

I have a intel 4000 HD and at super low settings with low res I had like 15 FPS. On GTA V thought I have like 40 FPS ha ha ha...

How demanding it is ramps up with the size and population of your city. It's a fairly lightweight Unity engine game, it's just that when there's tens of thousands of cars and pedestrian walking around it can start to hammer the CPU quite hard.

 

It really isn't that demanding of your video hardware. I'm surprised that they say Intel graphics aren't supported. It seems like they'd be fine for small-ish cities. I haven't tried it, though.
