    Very. It’s extremely similar to the first in many ways but has loads of improvements that refine what was already there. It’s like Borderlands 3 compared to Borderlands 2, or Arkham Knight compared to Arkham Asylum. Additionally, the story is great, if a little bit rushed. Having not read the comics I greatly enjoyed the development of the black suit and the symbiote storyline as something relatively fresh compared to the 90’s cartoon and the Toby Maguire movies

    For me, absolutely. I definitely recommend those tweaks I listed above, but I consider the graphics very acceptable. I have the game installed on my main PC as well (with the idea of streaming to the Deck), but ultimately I've been content enough with the graphics to not bother with that. The game is definitely a bit blurry, and some early areas have less than ideal shadow aliasing. But the game manages to be pretty beautiful despite that, and I'm having a great time.

    Actually thanks, now trust you mention it i should not have used safe. I was not meaning danger, just that i might have damaged the battery life or at least put it at risk at the least. Just assumed that it came optimised to be as ideal as valve usually goes a bit overboard on their hardware from what i remember reading

    On my devices where it’s available I usually set it to 80-85%.

    You're being needlessly pedantic for the sake of outrage. It solves OP's problem of playing their library in multiple rooms simultaneously.

    From my personal experience: The steam variant of Retroarch is nerfed to hell and back, make your life easier and use the flatpak version and add it as a nonsteam game. Edit: sp

    Easily one of the best stealth games in recent memory, as are pretty much all of the devs other games. Tragic that they went out of business shortly after release. Plays perfectly on Deck.
