Steam makes it sound like this doesn't run that well on the SD. Is that true?

If you crank the settings yeah it won’t run well, but at lower settings that game runs fine even online in a multiplayer server with 30 people (though the net code is still a bit rough (I mean it’s a multiplayer physics game with multiple articulating physics pieces like 18 wheelers with trailers soooo) but that isn’t the steamdeck’s problem). It has a free demo, try it out to and see for yourself yooo

Because the graphics are stylized as low poly you are getting a whole lot of very advanced unreal engine physics delivered in a very resource efficient package. I bet Wreckfest runs as good at low graphics but Wreckfest defies logic with how well it runs.

Another good vehicle game that is fabulous for the steam deck is Offroad Mania. Opposite kind of game from Motor Town, very small bite sized rock crawling levels and procedurally generated endless obstacle runs. The game has superb physics, low poly graphics and runs like butter on the deck.
