For the Rebirth one I started it at the section where the actual old melody begins. I am not saying the Rebirth version doesn't have atmosphere, but nearly through out the game, the actual previous melodies become more of a background twinkle rather than being present by themselves.

Runs really well, feels more responsive than the first game too
No idea what's happening with the story so far
'Steam Deck verified' goes on to be an utterly fucking meaningless term though. Hot garbage performance, purely a marketing term to shift copies these days.
Still runs like shit. The first part ran quite well without having to do that @ 60FPS, I did 100% of the game on it. The 'verified' thing has been useless for a long while.

Steam is now full of demanding games that are technically verified, despite the fact that the Deck simply can't handle them without significant performance issues. We're talking blurry messes that dip below 20 fps even on the lowest settings.

But this all came at a steep cost: fuzziness everywhere, a disappointing lack of detail and serious pop-in. Even on the small screen, it looked rough. Now this was partially down to the low preset automatically turning on the dynamic resolution scaling to 50%. Turning that up to 100%, effectively turning off dynamic scaling, improved the visual fidelity significantly—naturally. But I had to swallow a noticeable performance dip. Wandering around the first area for a while, getting into fights, exploring a village, doing a spot of mountaineering, saw the framerate fluctuate between low-20s to low-40s.

The sweet spot seems to be setting the minimum dynamic resolution scaling to 66% and keeping everything else low, with a 30 fps cap. That produces the smoothest experience in Rebirth's first open-world area. Though there are still some occasional dips and the odd bit of hitching. And this is a location with very few NPCs.

So no, I don't recommend you play Rebirth on the Deck, at least not if you can help it. It's playable, and by making lots of concessions you can get acceptable performance levels, but the sacrifices feel too great.
Really fucking pathetic on Valves part. However, on a decent gaming PC, it's really good. Lowest I've seen it drop to is 105FPS @ 1440p maxed. Changes to camera distance, running, vaulting etc are all very welcome after the first part. Environments are beautiful also. Loving it so far.
There seems to be modded dlls in combination with nvidia inspector that enable dlss 4 for at least the 4k series. (transformer model)
I dislike how all the AA options are kinda bad.

First impression for me:
The game went the ubilike open world route.
Dissapointing tbh.
There seems to be shitloads of things to do and it seems this itteration isnt even advancing the story that much. I wonder how they gonna fit the whole story in the next and last game.
