In recent years, Sony has made significant strides in bringing its games to the PC world. From Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves to Spider-Man and God of War (2018), many games have reached PC players. Most of these games performed exceptionally well in their PC ports. But after the troubled launch of The Last of Us, how does God of War Ragnarok fare on the Steam Deck?
God of War Ragnarok is pushing for 60 FPS!
Looking at the tests of Ragnarok on Steam Deck, the performance fluctuates between 34-60 FPS, with an average of 60% CPU usage and 80-90% GPU usage. The only notable issue with performance arises during boat travel, where the FPS can sometimes drop below 30.
Now, let’s talk about the gameplay mechanics on Steam Deck… Controls on the Steam Deck are highly responsive and well-adjusted. A special function has been assigned to the back button on the top left; this button allows you to perform the axe freezing move, which you would normally do by holding down the Triangle or Y button. Additionally, you can assign any function you want to these back buttons, allowing for a more practical gaming experience…
The accessibility features in God of War Ragnarok also stand out. For playing on the small screen of the Steam Deck, there’s an option to increase the text size. Additionally, with the voice narration feature, when you select a new item in the menu, it reads the item’s features aloud. This system uses a very natural human voice instead of a robotic one, enhancing the overall experience.
All things considered, it’s clear that the Sony PlayStation team put a lot of thought into the Steam Deck experience, which should make players happy. For Steam Deck owners who are tired of ports being made without any extra effort, it’s great to see such thoughtful features being implemented.
