Art & presentation

Portable image is sharp on the OLED panel; dynamic resolution keeps frame‑rate stable. Docked play cleans up edges and raises shadow quality. Audio is clean through the 3.5 mm jack or Bluetooth.
UI readability is high in both bright and dark scenes. Subtitle styling, camera shake and film grain can be adjusted to taste.

We play the opening hours to assess onboarding, then log a mix of open areas, dense hubs and boss encounters. For performance we record frame‑time with a 5–10 minute run per scene and note minimums/averages. Settings: v‑sync off with VRR (where possible), motion blur low/off, TAA enabled; consoles tested in their performance modes when available.
We avoid story spoilers and disclose the test devices in the article header. Scores use a 0–10 scale with weights: gameplay 40%, visuals 20%, audio 10%, performance 20%, monetization/UX 10%.
