SpiderManRemastered Is a Blast on Steam Deck
While the standard PC release wouldn’t have done all that much for me as the game looks fantastic and runs well on PlayStation 5, I was tantalized by the option of it running on Valve’s Steam Deck, a handheld PC that is an emulation powerhouse and gets solid performance out of many new releases. I’ve always gravitated toward handheld gaming, and to my delight,not only plays great on the system , but it is perfectly suited for shorter gaming sessions.
It’s something I can fire up for just a few minutes and satisfyingly knock a few things off the to-do list, which is nice considering how large the game actually is when going for 100% without being too bloated like other open-world games. Such games likely wouldn’t be as satisfying to play in short chunks and not as fit for the Steam Deck. Its sequel,, is much smaller in scale, so it will also naturally fit on the handheld PC as well when it comes out later in 2022.
I’ve never been a tech geek to the degree where I’d be analyzing anti-aliasing and so forth, but I was shocked at how wellran on the portable device. Sure, there are some drops when swinging through the massive open world of New York City, but the game looks great and can be altered for better performance. To get the most out of the game, I highly suggest watching Digital Foundry’s wonderful breakdown of its performance and what settings to tweak to optimize your play .
Of course, there is some PC wonkiness that you sadly have to expect with Steam Deck releases at this point. Once upon boot-up, the game thought I was playing with a mouse and keyboard rather than a gamepad and wasn’t taking my inputs in. This eventually sorted itself out, and it wasn’t a terrible burden, but it really underlines the difference between console and PC play with the amount of variables and issues one can run into.
