Interesting. I’ve held off buying it because I thought it was unplayable on the Deck. Maybe I need to give it a second look.

If you have other ways to play a game, consider buying it regardless of the rating for the Steam Deck. Sometimes verified games update in a way that makes them way too hardware intensive, others might actually be playable regardless of what they say and the only real way to find out, is to try. For example, I wanted to try it so I setup Steam VR on the Deck, added ALVR, set it to minimum resolution and fps… I mean, Taskmaster VR worked. I had to make the resolution inside Steam VR all the way down, and it keeps a shaky 60 fps (doesn’t bother me, others could get motion sickness) but it was playable. Obviously it was docked, so 100% just curiously as on the other side of the desk there’s my actual gaming computer, but…

Metaphor Refantazio is great outside of a few spots with fps dips, but the recent SteamOS update has helped with those a lot. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys JRPGs.

I got my Deck yesterday and I’ve been playing the demo. Not really my cup of tea, but the performance has been great. My biggest surprise is that I haven’t gotten to the end of it yet! I thought it would have ended after

Yeah it's a pretty chunky demo. By the point you're at, I wasn't super invested in the game yet. But the demo is long, and I definitely was hooked by the end.

If you decide to buy it, fanatical has a great price on it.

[–] TychoQuad@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m a little further than that.

Tap for spoilerI just unlocked the Archetype picker after defeating Klinger.

I’m probably done at this point, I’ve moved on to other games.

Question about Fanatical, does it give you steam keys? How can they be cheaper? They aren’t a key reseller, are they?

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

They give you steam keys, they're legitimate though and not a key reseller.

I'm not sure how they buy their keys though.

As for the game, it really took off for me when I got back to the city, and started the persona cycle of managing my time combined with carrying out missions.
