Thoughts on Steam Deck

[Sow]

Really got caught by surprise with this one. The demo really runs well as advertised (actually, better than that). I'm playing with a mix of high and medium settings, with xess on balanced. Get 35 - 40fps on the OLED.

Other thoughts on the game:
Loved the voice acting and world building. Also liked how you were able to make me intrigued by the world, without over explaining.
Music so far is really good. The writing feels good too. I like the possibilities that the combat provides too, between the weapons and magic. Also, climbing feels good too.
Also really liked the armor styles and am keen to see the diferent options in the future.

The only two things that I wish to see improved are the speed of your roll (even better if we could have a quick dodge with a longer roll while holding) and the impact feedback on the combat.

Anyways, love where this is going! And that it runs well on the Deck is a marvelous bonus :)

Thank you so much for trying out our demo and for leaving a detailed review of your experience. Glad your overall experience was a good one :)

We've made note of your feedback and will relay it to the team!

Glad to hear it works well on Deck. Gotta give it a go on the OLED tonight too.
Why did you use XESS over FSR, though?

XESS looked a bit sharper for my taste.
Also a side note and I don't know if it matters, but I wasn't preocupied with battery, so the goal was a good performance/quality ratio.

Hmm, thanks, will check XESS out as well. On PC it seemed blurrier, and the same felt true in Talos 2, but obviously that might not always be the case.
I play the deck at home, during downtime while on work projects or while commuting, so I always have access to either a power outlet or a huge 65w battery pack. I do the same as you usually.
Only exception is a longer flight or train journey where I tweak for battery. Haha.
