Horizon Zero Dawn's fresh remaster is the best way to enjoy the game, even on handheld gaming PCs

If you're a big fan of Sony's Horizon Zero Dawn, you may have been a bit worried that the new remastered version would just be too much for your gaming PC, especially handheld devices. That last aspect hasn't been helped by the fact that the remastered version isn't verified for the Steam Deck, but having played HZDR on an Asus ROG Ally X, I'm pretty sure that it'll be fine on the Steam Deck.

Guerrilla Games, the developers behind Horizon Zero Dawn, has pulled out all the stops with its remaster, with the help of Nixxes Software for the PC port. Sure, it's still exactly the same game (it's not a remake) but the original's graphics look a little bit second-tier compared to what Horizon Forbidden West has to offer.
