Analysis — Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension on the Steam Machine
Strategy games slow down as a campaign grows, not as resolution rises: late-game turns and big unit counts load the Machine's 6-core Zen 4 while the RX 7600-class GPU idles. Smaller maps or fewer AI opponents speed things up more than any graphics preset.
Very high frame-rates buy little in a strategy game; spend the headroom on detail and shadows instead.
It also has shared/split-screen co-op on Steam's list, which suits a living-room box with a second controller.
