Analysis — Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era 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.
73 ProtonDB reports rate it Platinum (runs perfectly out of the box), in line with Valve's Deck Playable rating.
It also has shared/split-screen co-op on Steam's list, which suits a living-room box with a second controller.
