There are unoptimized messes, and then there's Shrek 2 - which, on PC, demands a staggering 16GB of RAM and at least an RTX 4060 or 3060 Ti card.
Considering the original game came out 22 years ago, and the fact that this is a remaster, not a remake, those are some ungodly minimum system requirements. For comparison, the "improved graphics" that Aspyr boasts about make this game more demanding than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and Crimson Desert.
Even Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, which came under fire for how demanding its minimum specs were as a family-friendly Lego game, has lower system requirements. If the Aspyr logo wasn't already raising red flags, this oughta do it.
