Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Got Steam Deck Verified, But It Still Has Issues - Steam Deck HQ

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle got updated to Steam Deck Verified, but it still has some issues that stop it from being a great experience.

From reading about the performance, sounds like it probably should have been rated “playable” instead of verified.

That said, this is pretty cool because this was one of those games that was absolutely unplayable on deck at release.

This is also encouraging for our chances of having Doom Dark Ages be playable since I think they’re using the same engine. Doom games are usually optimized really well, so I’m hoping it will run better than this.

    This debate often arises in the Steam Deck communities because a huge proportion of Steam Deck users are PC users that now have a handheld, so this transition is jarring.

    For people that actually had handhelds before, that’s not only normal, but actually quite good.

    Go play Xenoblade Chronicles on a 3DS, at 240p with an unstable 30 FPS. I loved it anyway. How about Doom 2016 on the Nintendo Switch? Hope you enjoy settings lower than low on PC, lots of missing textures, and a stuttery 25 FPS - still one of the highest rated games on the Nintendo Switch subreddit.

    Handhelds make sacrifices for portability. 30 FPS is fine, it just won’t ever compete with your 1000w gigantic desktop PC.
