Nightingales dapper cast of cross-dimensional pathfinders are right about one thing: realmwalking is dangerous business.

Or until you hold down the power button.

For now, at least.

Puck appears in front of a portal in Nightingale, running on a Steam Deck.

Still, theres a lot that needs hammerin, starting with the crashing problem.

There are lesser issues too.

I doubt they can do much forbattery drain, though.

Nightingale’s UI going partially off-screen on the Steam Deck.

That puts it easily among the thirstiest games Ive tested, only narrowly outlastingHelldivers 2.

You should, therefore, get at least a couple of hours out of an OLED model.

At the very least, we cant rule out the situation improving.

Speaking to Aurelio Acevedo Ortega in Nightingale, on the Steam Deck.

Whats borked today may very well be un-borked tomorrow.

Only the effects, foliage and post-processing prefs really need chopping down to their respective minimums.

I found that making further reductions, even to the GPU-heavy Lumen lighting, didnt noticeably improve framerates.

Butas on desktops, the potential is there.

Realising it might just take some time in the early access shed.
