A quick Steam Deck OLED performance test Bound By Flame in docked mode
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.
NOTE: In this particular case, I launched the game in Full HD, that is why the game window was so small until I changed the setting in the menu.
Everyone has their guilty pleasure - mine being wooden RPGs that provide mediocre visuals and stories, games that don't want to be anything more than just 20 hours of entertainment (or games that wanted to be a masterpiece but ended up as obscurity) - this is basically my taste when it comes to long winter evenings :P
Bound By Flame is no different - released on 9 May 2014, developed by Spiders and published by Focus Home Interactive, this game was just another generic fantasy RPG in the PS3/Xbox 360 era but to give it justice, especially from the perspective of modern triple/quadruple A productions that cost hundreds of millions of dollars - it is sometimes better to spend a few days with a solid 6 than with a far-fetched and disappointing 9.
The game is marked on Steam as "Playable" in terms of Steam Deck compatibility but it works just fine and out of the box, no additional tinkering is needed :)
NOTE: Bear in mind that this is recorded in the docked mode, meaning the performance might always be a bit lower than in the regular handheld mode due to the scaling, etc.
