A quick Steam Deck OLED performance test Bloodstained Ritual of the Night
0There is a lot of videos on YT with various games tested on Steam Deck. Most of them present the footage of the screen and how the game looks ON Steam Deck. Some people, however, use their Steam Deck as a desktop PC or a regular console. My tests intend to show how the game looks and performs on an external screen, in full HD (not in 4k for performance reasons) with certain scaling options.
Here is another test, this time something that seems "lighter" for modern computers: Bloodstained Ritual of the Night. This is a metroidvania developed by none other than Koji Igarashi, the person behind Castlevania Symphony of the Night. What can I add here: it soaks in the atmosphere, fluent gameplay and mechanics that one can find in good ol' Castlevania titles. The music is fantastic and resembles SotN. Well, it was composed by Michiru Yamane, another ex-Konami employee.
The game is marked as "playable" on Steam Deck and works perfectly fine and out-of-the-box. However, there is one moment in the game after you defeat the first boss that seems to be a glitch - I think this is when the title of the game should appear but instead the screen freezes in the shot of dark clouds. Apart from that one thing I noticed, there are completely no hiccups.
