Ah yes the harp bow, makes a musical noise when it shoots. Great weapon.

Wanted to play some old school RPG so I started yesterday with The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (Part I). I have all 4 games and I know it takes quite some time to finish them, and so far around 5-6 hours in, I really enjoy it.

Not played that yet.

Started again with The Ascent, started it like 1 year ago but stopped, now I started again and I think it's great. Just mindless shooting which feels absolutely great. The graphics are just gorgeous as they now added DLSS and ray tracing, it just looks awesome, plus I adore the setting, would say my favorite kind of environment setting. I also downloaded around 30 animated wallpapers of the game in the wallpaper engine, just fantastic!!

Nice. I'd forgotten about this game. It was given away as part of Humble Choice and I gave it a quick play but haven't got back to it yet. I always enjoy twin stick shooters, even more so if they are combined what a story and RPG elements.

It's also included on Xbox Gamepass for anyone who has that.

I might check its Steam Deck compatibility later. Should suit that quite well will the twin stick controls, although the menus might be a bit complex for the screen size.

Problem is that the font in the menu's is very small and even on my 77" TV I have to squint to read certain things. Plus there's no raytracing on the deck, you have to admire it on a big screen.

That's the only real issue running any PC game on a handheld. They are not often designed for small screens. But it can depend how a game is written, because often the font will work ok as the resolution is lower (1280x800 for the Steam Deck).

The genre I tend to avoid on it is strategy because they are normally quite menu and text heavy.

I'm not too bothered about Ray Tracing unless it's within a PS5 game because I don't have a PC GPU new enough to do it.
