Note: Reviewed and captured on Steam Deck.
Jason says, "I got what I expected: something familiar and horrifying. And I thoroughly enjoyed it even if it simply isn’t as good as the original Dead Space. The exploration is definitely a bit of a copy-pasta, but the combat was refreshingly up-close and brutal. The game punishes you for not respecting its combat methods, and in turn, I respect that. It’s such a pity, then, that the game is wholly linear and completely lacks any reason to turn it back on after the credits roll. And while the game is good-looking on the Steam Deck to surprising effect, it does need a few more layers of polish in the optimization arena to run the way it should. All of this is wrapped up in a cautionary tale about the horrors of humankind’s curiosity and desperation to aspire, though, and I can’t deny it kept me glued to my couch. Give me… MORE."

To me the most important hardware is the battery. Doesn’t matter how powerful the chips are.
There’s no way you’re getting that 40CU 16-core APU in a handheld. That’s too hot and power hungry for that. The highest end APU they’re suggesting is going to end up in gaming laptops that can cool a 100W chip.
I think these articles get things a little out of perspective, Steam Deck has sold around 3 million and Switch has sold 140 million. But if you are browsing certain parts internet you'd think the Steam Deck had sold over 100 million. If articles are going to continue to circulate like this and continue to put the Steam Deck in the same arena then I'm comfortable calling the device a flop.
sure but theres still a limit to what u can put in there ha. power consumption would be the biggest hurdle. and cooling.
Streaming on the Steam Deck is even easier with a new beta installation method for GeForce NOW. Plus GeForce NOW brings 24 new games for May.
That's all folks. EA anticheat has now been added into Battlefield V, so it's the end of being able to play it on Steam Deck and other Linux systems.
This joins the likes of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2: Deluxe Edition, EA SPORTS FC 24, EA SPORTS FIFA 23, Battlefield 2042 and Madden NFL 24 that all have EA's own homegrown anti-cheat that make them simply unplayable on systems running Linux.
Now if you try to run it, you'll be greeted with an error. A shame to see a game that's multiple years old get broken like this and no doubt EA will continue to use their own EA anticheat in future online games. Battlefield 1 is still okay, and Apex Legends is also still running but perhaps it's only a matter of time before EA force it onto those too?

Yes counter cheating that is good but when the ea app on pc is still totally broken and these cheaters are on 2042 same anti cheat this is just putting scotch tape on trumps file cabinet to prevent leaks its nothing more than a stop gap.
I mention ea app as for 4years it was in beta then tossed out with 3 year old issues and i still cant not get the products that i purchased on origin yeah i purchased digital but guess what there is no dvd games on pc anymore.
The rough part of all of this is that for those of us on PC mostly be it Windows or Linux based, the anti-cheat sucks up a lot of resources. It kind of reminds me of the conversation between, security and freedom. Too much of ether is both good if managed well or very bad. We just as gamers keep seeing this pop up over and over again. Wish I had some magic wand to stop cheaters... but I don't... hell we just seen what happened with Apex at a high level event.. getting that kind of access and such is not good... but at the same time. Can anyone, one person provide me an example where Anti Cheat has even like a hit rate above 50? I know I'm pulling numbers out of my ass, but it seems the cheaters beat the systems in place time and time again. Where there is a lock, and a smith to make it. We always will have a thief that breaks it.
It’s not as good as Dead Space 3.
So what? I get that it's a spiritual successor but it should still be judged on its own merits.
But it’s not dead space…..
CP is a great game, unfortunately sheep gamers follow the clueless crowd.
I don't get the clunky controls comments, I don't get the hard difficulty comments etc.
I've finished my 3rd playthrough and each time the game felt different and fresh as I chose different upgrade paths.
My only complaint was the poor audio logs, nothing very interesting to listen too for the most part and some save points were poorly implemented (since been fixed)
It's not DEAD SPACE FFS!!!!!!!!
