I am playing on a 3440x1440 ultra wide monitor. While I could play it using my 3070 ti, the lack of video ram forced me to use pretty low graphics settings. I upgraded to a 4070 ti Super with 16 GB of video ram and it runs really well now.

I am just starting my attempt to play this game on Steam Deck. Will let folks know how it goes…

Badly, is how it went. Valve is working to help patch the game to run on Steam Deck. I am going to wait until later to play it.

After I finish my current game(Guardians of the Galaxy), I may re-attempt Great Circle. I’m hearing more Steam Deck success after the third major patch/update.

Here it is on Deck for those wondering:

It was fixed for Steam Deck and I finished it the other day.

Fun.

I do have a question. Did anyone struggle with the final battle against Voss? I had read a ton about how difficult it was and I was pleasantly surprised I was able to get through the main fist fight on the first try. I ran away like a chicken most of the time and he used the whip to pull me back. I threw punches, ducked a bit, and was able to get it.

The swinging battle from the edge of the final area was more annoying, but I got through on my second try.

Overall, I liked…but was not head over heels for the game. Very fun action game and a really good Indiana Jones adventure. In fact, this should have been the new movie, not the Dial of Destiny.

Same. The first part was easy. The swinging part I failed initially because I didn’t understand what I was doing. But I figured it out on the second try.

I also had low health the first time the swinging section happened, but when you did it reloads you with full health.
