If a game hypes a lot of people up, it will be verified. That’s like, the most important factor… not even the performance, the controls, etc…

As seen in the title, Baldur’s Gate 3 is the perfect example of this: running at 20FPS with constant dips and my Steam Deck on the verge of exploding isn’t what I call “a game flawlessly running on the Steam Deck…”

Just try to be honest guys, it’s okay if the game is badly rated for compatibility with the Steam Deck, it’s not a big deal if it’s too demanding to run on the handled.

But DON’T BE MISLEADING…

Thanks :))

EDIT: Not tested on the most recent major update. The big one with many changes to the flow of the game.

    Idk if you’ve used a ps4 or Xbox but they very often have games that can barely run. For example pubg, cyberpunk

      That is the exception not the rule though. You can run uncharted 4 on a PS4. You can run red dead 2 on an Xbox. Both of these are far worse on steam deck. It’s getting to the point where it’s becoming the rule on steam deck that you’ll have sub 60 fps on a newly released verified steam deck game.

        I don’t think verified should mean 60fps. Verified should mean the game doesn’t crash, the controls work on and the frames are around 30.

        Also how is left4dead bad on steamdeck? What issues are you getting.

                Not a great sleep because i woke up early at 5am. Laying in bed i thought about a bakery making fresh bread and then rushed to the bakery to get a warm loaf of fresh bread and a pie.

                Pretty good morning
