While my Ayaneo 2 review is on the way, I wanted to spend a little time talking about it in other facets. Over the past few weeks, I’ve played various games on this handheld powerhouse. It’s essentially a portable Windows 11 machine, and virtually anything you can run on a PC; you can run here. I’ve tried everything from my favorite MMOs to retro RPG randomizers.

At first, it ran incredibly poorly, but so did every other game I was playing. Once I realized the system’s resolution wasn’t what it should be, all of that changed. The highest resolution the handheld can use is 1920x1200, and it defaulted to 1920x1080.

So I adjusted that both in-game and in my Windows settings, and it was like flipping a switch. Suddenly, the game ran super smoothly. I had to use the “low” default settings, and even with that, the game looked pretty. However, after that, I went to the AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 settings and switched it to “Balanced,” with AMD FSR 2.1 Image Sharpening to .50.

This allowed the Ayaneo 2 to display the game with beautiful graphics and still play smoothly. I was still bad at firearms on that screen, but I prefer melee builds in Cyberpunk 2077, anyway.

I was baffled that, at first, Yakuza: Like a Dragon ran poorly on the Ayaneo 2. Even after the initial resolution changes, the camera moved
