The publication's own testing found the 1280×800 default high setup around 60 FPS with occasional 40–50 FPS drops in crowded valleys. Its recommended custom mix uses Proton 9.0-2 and a 60 FPS limiter; testing found no overheating or crashes, though battery use was heavy.

After several hours on Steam Deck, the reviewer found the default experience only sort-of-stable at 60 FPS. Using 1280×720, 60 Hz, and Medium improved stability, while changing Display Mode caused repeatable lockups.
