HZD I hadn’t tested but both Spider-Men games run great?

The game that surprised me the most was Murder by Numbers. It’s a very nice hybrid of a visual novel and a puzzle game. When I had more time I played the story mode, and when I didn’t I played the challenges.
My biggest disappointments were games from Sony — Horizon and Spiderman. Both of them are verified, but both of them crash at start-up.

According to other people, Horizon worked but a recent patch broke it. Spiderman (the first one) launches, freezes after a few seconds, and then the Deck restarts. 🤷♂️

So you have power tools installed? Make sure you don’t have SMT disabled, that will cause some games to crash on launch.
I’ve also known people to get results like that from undervolting. Unfortunately it’s possible it that you could have borderline passable hardware that has the same instability people get from undervolting at default values.

I don’t have anything special installed, I didn’t undervolt anything. My Deck is an officially refurbished unit, so the borderline passable hardware is unfortunately likely. :(
