Yeah me too, it really isn’t that powerful of a machine on paper.
I think it is also a testament to the vibrancy, artistry and vision of indie game developers too though that so many highly critically acclaimed classics in the video game world are graphically relatively simple affairs (from a technical perspective, not artistic or aesthetic). Enter The Gungeon, Dead Cells, Rogue Legacy 2, Spelunky 2, Death Road To Canada, Factorio, Hyper Light Drifter, Caves Of Qud, Helldivers, Deep Rock Galactic, Armored Brigade, Rainworld, Risk Of Rain, Stardew Valley, Slay The Spire, Monster Train….. the list goes on and on and on.
It blows my mind, as brutal as the game industry is to work in, so many artists have elevated and evolved video genres over the past 15 years that “next-gen” doesn’t mean anything substantiative anymore. Yeah maybe the next big video game will be a Cyberpunk type game with crazy good graphics but maybe it will be a game about 2d cubes bouncing off walls that somehow has amazing gameplay or something totally out of left field that revives a genre that has been dead for 10 years, who knows?
It is a testament to the creative vision of the artists in this medium that “new” doesn’t just mean another marvel movie with an even more insane budget that tells the same exact old story except with more underpaid vfx artists working on set pieces…
It makes me not give two flying shits about if my steam deck is powerful enough or not to run stuff and just enjoy when it somehow beats the odds and is.
