ZERO Sievert is an superior recreation to play. I’ve at all times liked extraction shooters ever since I first performed Escape From Tarkov, and ZERO Sievert offers me the identical satisfaction of working right into a world, getting as a lot gear as I can, and getting again with out dying. The distinction is that it is top-down and absolutely single-player, which makes it an ideal match for transportable gadgets just like the Steam Deck. Final 12 months, we began to see some enhancements to controls and playability on the Steam Deck, and the most recent replace continues that pattern with some vital modifications that make it a lot better to take pleasure in on the go.
This new quality-of-life-focused replace has made some vital modifications to boost controller and Steam Deck help. Sleeping has been made simpler to work together with, the Quest button is chosen by default in your menu to make it simpler to entry, swapping between the map and PDA is considerably sooner, a lot better UI visible readability and interactivity, and the map choice display is instantaneous, which implies no extra needing to hit “Go” to really go to the map.
Nonetheless, I can say that taking part in with a controller seems like a breeze now. Transferring round, aiming, looting, and utilizing the UI is considerably simpler than I remembered from the previous, and I do not assume I might return to taking part in with a KB+M. It is simply a lot simpler to navigate and entry gadgets now, and whereas there might be some enhancements right here and there, I’m glad to say it is playable and pleasurable. I caught with a 60 FPS cap, which caught stable to 60 the entire time with a median 13.5W battery drain.
I did not really see any particular Steam Deck optimization within the changelogs or the video above, however something that helps with controllers does assistance on the Steam Deck, so I’m glad nonetheless.
I additionally respect a variety of the opposite enhancements with this patch. Newcomers to the sport can have a full, detailed tutorial to be taught the sport, there are problem presets for simple choice, and tools loadouts all have a reputation to make it simpler to find out which loadout focuses on what. There’s additionally a brand new grid system for the map to replicate explored areas extra clearly, and all decimal factors when displaying values for getting and promoting have been eliminated.
These all could sound like smaller enhancements, however all of them work collectively to assist make the sport considerably extra playable. A number of the UI points have been nuisances that made it very laborious to maintain taking part in with, however most of my issues have all been fastened up.
You possibly can take a look at the total changelog for the replace by way of their Steam Group Submit.
ZERO Sievert is on sale for $14.99 for the Steam Summer time Sale and is rated Steam Deck Verified.
