Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

Right now I'm playing Horizon Zero dawn. runs beautifully. very occasionally crashes but otherwise great.

Man I just finished that game on PC. Beautiful game, though imo the dialogue animations aren't the best lol. Have you played the sequel?

How well does it run? I tried to play it on the Deck a while ago but it was too laggy for me

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It runs nicely at 1280x720, textures on ultra, model quality ultra, anisotropic filter, shadows, reflections and clouds on medium, motion blur off (because I hate it) ancient occlusion on medium. I get about 35 fps at those settings which is fine for me casually picking it up.

yes! I bought it when it went on sale some weeks ago and I've been enjoying it immensely on the deck. I've noticed the crashes reduced dramatically when I stopped putting the deck to sleep with HZD still running. It seems to still crash rarely when I go to the "manual save" screen if I play it for hours on end, but closing and reopening the game every now and then during long play sessions seems to have helped a lot.
