A quick Steam Deck OLED test Dungeon Siege III 3 [Docked mode]
1There 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.
Dungeon Siege 3 is a mixed bag - to some extent it feels like the good old and beloved hack and slash from the yesteryear, but at the same time it plays like a generic, unenthused game that was supposed to be a far cry from an already dead franchise. Still, it happens to work on Steam Deck and it looks good enough to give it a go :)
As of the date of upload of this video, the game is tagged as "unplayable on Steam Deck" but it works perfectly fine and no additional tinkering is required. The only thing I would point out is a weird "smudge" visible from time to time during gameplay on the top part of the screen. For a moment I thought it's due to defective connection through HDMI but it appears to be a visual defect, maybe a result of some post-processing in the game. It's not horrible, but it's there. It might not be visible in handheld mode, but it's clearly visible on a TV.
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.
