I admit I’m far from let's say 20 hours of gameplay, but I don’t detect any heavy metal here.

Yes I've tried changing every setting under the sun to try to resolve these issues, and yes my graphics drivers are updated.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
As a fan of Clifford Meyer's previous projects and metal in general, the soundtrack is a delight and incredibly fitting of the tone and atmosphere.

Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
The game is Steam Deck verified now, other people seem to have great performance on it, but from what I've seen: It relies 100% on DLSS/resolution scaling.
