Top Steam Deck game Sept. 02 - Sept. 08 Unsupported
Highball Sep 8
Black Myth: Wukong

The Steam Deck rating system was a good start. But, I think we all know, the rating system needs a revamp or some sort of extension that includes player input. When you read the reason for the Unsupported rating, the games graphics can not be configured to run well on Steam Deck.

Here's a reviewer with 65 hours playing Black Myth: Wukong on his Steam Deck. (thank's to Valves new review features)

Also for steam deck users i have played mainly on there....i recommned:

LOW settings except reflections and shadows, TAA and 70 image scale, 720p and then a neat trick...play in 21:9 ratio (think thats the number). Yes i know it gives borders but the image quality and 90% locked 30fps really makes a game that shouldnt work, work!

BUY IT

Maybe they just need to add a fifth rating that's as simple as,
"Playable with an extremely degraded experience after some heavy tinkering. We know you folks are out there, don't try and deny it".

It's going to be interesting if the Steam Deck top played games board eventually fills with Unsupported games.

That's what "playable" rating is for, isn't it?

Naa, for Playable, "This games default graphics configuration performs well on Steam Deck" is one of the requirements.

720p/30fps (in the sections of the game that get tested) at default settings is the minimum for the green tick.

720p/30fps (in the sections of the game that get tested) after fiddling with in-game settings is the minimum for Playable.

This game can't hit either. Unsupported is the appropriate rating.

If people want to play regardless, more power to them.

I recently played both Space Marine 2 and FF 16 demo, both of them are only playable on low settings, but they are really good experience and still look good even on big TV connected to Steam Deck. I assume both of those will probably get Unsupported because of that. Which is kind of shame :/

EDIT: Maybe in case of FF16 it will get better rating as low settings are the default set by game.

According to sdhq, Space marines 2 deeps below 20 FPS, witch for 99% of the people will be considered unplayable, at the moment it has to be considered unsupported by steam.

Baldur's Gate 3 also needs this, drops below 20FPS in the city, but it's somehow Verified. Valve do need to do better on a few of the bigger names.

Or maybe they're closing an eye for the hype train, but yeah for the costumers they should do better.

I set the graphics preset to performance and graphics settings to low and especially in multiplayer I didn't noticed any significant drop. It was worse in the campaign, but I changed the settings almost at the end, after that it ran like a charm.

Did you use the fsr3 mod ?

Same for Still Wakes the Deep, it can be set to be somewhat playable at the beginning, but later in the game it drops to below 20 and nothing can really be done. Steam says "default graphics configuration performs well on the Steam Deck", I say "LOL".

No, just the FSR2 that you can choose in menu.
