Not sure why the author makes a big deal about the game being single player. I’m intending to play it with my friend. Just waiting for his PC upgrade to arrive.

Because the majority of capital in the games industry is currently being thrown behind MP-primary/only Games As A Service experiences, and aside from a select few Sony studios, most AAA development is moving away from Single-player
I’ve really been getting into Sony Studio titles lately, and I hope they continue their trend of pushing games to Steam as PC ports!
Nobody makes singleplayer games anymore because you only buy them once instead of spending hundreds/thousands over the lifecycle of the game. You’re supposed to bend over and take it like a man. For capitalism!
That’s why a game like this is so refreshing. A good singleplayer experience that you can also OPTIONALLY share with your friends, and I also intend to do that. I’m literally going to go on Steam and buy two copies now.

PC upgrade? I play BG3 on steam deck, runs great. I imagine any PC in the last 10 years could run the game well enough.

It runs well on Steam Deck? Damn, was going to wait a month or so for PS5 but if it runs well on Deck… How many fps we talking?

I have it locked at 30 fps out of habit. It runs pretty damn smooth, rarely dipping below 30 fps on medium settings. I haven’t played with any of the settings at all, just locked it to 39 fps and went in my way.
