Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
Other than the title needing a bit more optimization, though, it runs great, especially considering its graphical fidelity.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
It does not, i can run it at max setting over 60fps on my rig, and on steamdeck it plays well locked at 40fps, which is amazing for how good the game looks.
