[ad_1] The baptismal fires are waiting. Steam Deck, like countless initiate PCs before it, must be christened: as with every new piece of hardware, one question must be answered. Can it run Crysis? The answer is no, it cannot. The original 2007 release locks up with a black screen. Crysis Remastered though? It…

[ad_1] Halo Infinite’s early December campaign launch saw the arrival of a massively anticipated title that delivered on many levels, but couldn’t shake many of the technical issues we highlighted throughout the preview/flighting process.

[ad_1] In fairness, the quality of From Software’s PC ports had been improving over time.
