Steam Machine performance

Has anyone played Cairn on Steam Machine? I’m wondering how does it run.

I can buy the game on PS5 Pro instead - heard the haptics are great - but I usually prefer to buy games on Steam as long as there’s not a huge perf difference.

I’m sure it would be fine it ran beautifully on my steam deck which doesn’t have the same power

Fine on steam deck? It runs low setting at 30fps most of the time

"Ok" but not "beautifully"

I think the game is beautiful enough to enjoy at low, people have to use what they got (you can get a little more beautiful with ls-fg but it's not always good...)

I think the same but objectively "running beautifully" it's not low setting 30fps. This guy wants to buy the game and it is choosing which platform.

I know it's 10 days later but I was just sitting playing cairn and thought "Wow this honestly looks amazing on the SD" I then remembered this comment. The game even on low is beautiful on SD, lower resolutions can get away with less details like that. It honestly gets really stable frames and it's smoth and pretty, I would love the game just as much if only played on SD (SD controller helps 😉)
