A friend asked me to see how well Watch_Dogs runs on Steam Deck for them. I booted it up today and ended up just spending all day driving around the city and fleeing from the cops for destroying stuff. I took this Screenshot after doing one of the few missions i did. I took it in the Loop section I believe.

Good game, had a lot of fun with it. It seems a lot of people didn't like the game because the graphics got downgraded from what they showd in the first trailers. They only real complaint I have is the handling of cars is weird.

It's one of the few games where I switch between mouse and controller when on foot vs in a car. They're damn near undrivable with wasd.

Oh, I was talking about driving with a controller.

Oh, it's even worse on wasd. It's like only being able to steer by wild swerving.

I'd be curious to see if you can install the patch that reintroduces the E3 graphics and how that's handled on the Deck. Not sure on the how-to with SteamOS.

I didn’t realize there was an E3 graphics patch. I’ll have to try that out sometime

I not too long ago played this game and, while flawed, found it to be a very decent game with a lot of potential. My biggest gripe personally is that it devolves from an engaging and clever stealth game to a mass murder simulator, and the main character isn't terribly likable by the end. Still, I enjoyed it quite a bit and might even replay it some time.

That game lets you murder Aisha Tyler for some reason. Like, I thought it would be a "game over" type scenario but nope. Just get the cops on you.
