HUMBLE CHOICE JULY 2024 | All games on Steam Deck

See below notes on the performance of each game in the video: A Plague Tale: Requiem - Known to be high-demanding. The game defaults to roughly Medium settings but I dropped it right away to Low. Already in the intro scene, there are quite some framerate drops to 20s. From what I understand, this gets even worse later, when many rats appear on the screen. Ghostrunner 2 - For me, this is the type of game that I need running at 60FPS. I managed to get it there (with minor drops, at least in the beginning scenes) by applying FSR2 Balanced to the default settings. In the first game, some scenes in cyberspace dropped the framerate significantly, no matter the settings. Not sure if this also applies to the sequel. Starship Troopers: Terran Command - By default, the game runs at "Good" graphic settings but I found that the "Simple" preset makes the 30FPS more stable. Sticky Business - Runs out of the box. Though you might want to experiment with controls as the default controller movement is very slow. Zoeti - Runs out of the box, 60FPS. Figment 2: Creed Valley - Runs out of the box, 60FPS. Heretic's Fork - Out of the box, 60FPS. The devs recently added full controller support. I played it back in the day with mouse emulation and both variants worked fine for me. HYPERVIOLENT - This one is rough. Unfortunately, the game has no controller support at the moment, nor any graphics options. Hence, it can only be run at ~40FPS with the WASD+mouse SteamOS config (needs to be a bit adjusted to cover all the keys needed for the gameplay). It seems playable but I would wait for the full release (the game is still in early access) or play on PC.
