Analysis — Broken Sword 5 - the Serpent's Curse on the Steam Machine
Adventure games spend their budget on atmosphere rather than speed. On the RX 7600-class GPU, lighting quality and resolution cost the most, so FSR Quality is the trade to make if native looks soft.
Spend the headroom on a 1440p output with FSR Quality; an adventure game shows resolution more than frame-rate.
7 ProtonDB reports rate it Platinum (runs perfectly out of the box), in line with Valve's Deck Playable rating.
Steam lists full controller support, so it plays from the sofa without a keyboard.
