But yeah the game is great, how does it play on deck? The game is incredible, you can get the album on bandcamp! It’s got 154 songs which is insane

I did see a tip about turning up the volume for sound cues when I was digging around trying to find if there was some kind of setting I could enable for a more visual cue (like you get for a Jump attack). I don’t usually play games with headphones on but I find myself doing that with this one!
The Steam Deck experience is pretty good. The issues I’ve had with the characters’ hairstyles catching the light weird seems to be more an issue of the lighting in general. I was in the Stone Wave Cliffs which has a lot of caves to explore and a lot of instances where there’s a “light at the end of a tunnel”. What I noticed was the light at the end was almost too bright/overpowering and it made it impossible to see the cave around me which, while maybe accurate to what you’d experience in real life with losing night vision and whatnot, makes it really hard to see/navigate. Similarly some of the menus are noticably darker as if I would need to turn the brightness up but not every menu is like that either. Just some weirdness there and I haven’t tried that section on my PC to see if it’s just how the game is or how the Steam Deck is handling it. Otherwise though, the Deck experience is pretty good and I’m getting into it for a couple hours a night without much issue. Definitely not the cleanest/fanciest graphics but in the “good enough” camp for me that aside from the lighting woes, I don’t notice much of a problem.

The lighting on hair is beautiful on ps5, I can see how it wouldn’t not scale if you don’t have the specs for it.
Your experience with the deck made me curious on the system… so I checked some of my CSGO skins and one that used to be $10 was selling for $145 on the marketplace. I sold it, and the next day Valve discontinued the lcd steam deck 😂 so rip that idea, the oled versions are too pricy for me
