Had it on my wishlist for a long time now and it’s on a big sale this week, looks like $9 for the base game and $15 for the Gold Edition. Pulled the trigger on the Gold Edition and started into it tonight. It’s fantastic! Had to change the community controller layout to the second most popular Xbox one to get it working the way I liked but did really no other changes to settings at all and it runs super smooth. One of the best looking games I’ve played on the Deck by far. It’s definitely very Breath of the Wild coded, but I enjoyed that game on Switch which is why this was on my wishlist. Definitely one of my top gaming experiences so far on this device.
Does the game run smooth out of the box?
Yes, I didn’t change much and it runes really well. I tend to always drop settings on shadows, depth, fog, etc just to boost performance because those things don’t matter to me as much as avoiding stutters. The fan does run the whole time, there may be even more you could optimize.
