About

SteamDolls is a steampunk-inspired Metroidvania game with a grimy touch of brutality.

2021 old gen game? No thanks.
Most games will release in current gen until 2022. Software sales never was so important than now, and the effect of coronavirus will slow down to upgrading to new machines

Besides this is a indie, most indies now could run even on Vita. You don’t need over 10 TFLOPS

Yeah I am aware of current gen games still being made till end of 2021 or so. My point is that it's not even on PS5 or XSX. Makes 0 sense to me to release a game in 2021 exclusive to old platforms and not even cross gen.

you can play PS4 games on PS5 and Xbox games on XSEX, what is the problem? Those graphics even Shouldn’t have problem to run to 4K on Pro and X.
