I've been playing a lot of No Man's Sky, but just picked up Shadows of Doubt and have been having a blast with that.

Shadows of Doubt has a weird bug ~~where loading into the initial menu takes several minutes instead of a few seconds.~~ Edit: Update came out today that fixed this! Haven't figured out why yet, but the developer is working on a fix and the game runs pretty decently outside of that. Using a community control scheme is recommended because the default controller scheme leaves something to be desired.

I picked up Shadows of Doubt a month or so ago and it seemed quite juddery (on my PC mind, not the deck). Has the performance improved over time? It really seems like a game I could sink my teeth into but the performance issues made me put it down for now

I know the dev's current priority is fixing bugs and performance issues, so it may run better now than when you tried it.

It runs acceptably on deck. Inside performance is great but the fps would tank outside. I had to disable a lot of the visual effects and drop the resolution slightly to keep a stable 30 outside. Honestly looks pretty good though even on the lower settings.

Fanatical actually has it on sale right now for 30% off. Biggest sale on steam so far is just a 20% sale, so the fanatical deal is pretty good.
