yes, there few setting need to look out for shadow and efforts quality change it how it feel how high or lower you want it
I run 40 fps mostly on 40hz, drop to 30ish fps when effect is all over the place, which is almost all the time in high level. That is using 10 or 11 watt TDP and low effect. Game looks worse bun run better. Using normal effect the game look significantly better but i would have a jet in my hand.
Im playing at 1080p with shadows getting 45-60fps quite happy with how it plays
The game defaults to a 30fps cap and Balanced FSR, which IMO looks great on the Deck and retains the full visual experience. Menu & HUD elements felt legible to me even on the smaller LCD Deck screen, although I wouldn't mind the option to make them slightly bigger.

Power use on these defaults is ~15W average, creeping up to ~21W in the central city and very heavy combat, so you might want a charger handy for more than 2 hours of play. (depending on your model)

If you're comfortable with lower definition, you can slam FSR down to Ultra-Performance without changing anything else for a relatively consistent 60fps out of combat - the game's colorful art style helps keep things clear despite the low resolution. I imagine this would look rough on a TV, though!

Alternatively, the "Low" preset w/ 30fps cap can get you down to ~10W average, and stacking Ultra-Perf FSR on top draws a remarkable ~8W for an open-world Unreal title - which could help get you through a longer flight without charge.

Also, works great offline - just normal cloud sync saves like any other sane singleplayer title. And while there's curiously no in-game pause, it has no problems with the system being put to sleep and resumed later. Yay!
