A demanding but mostly linear cinematic game. TechHarmonics' base-Z1 testing at 30W averages 30-50+FPS, with lows in the heaviest set-pieces (rat swarms, crowded towns). It's a gorgeous game that's genuinely playable on the non-Extreme if you lean on FSR and accept a 30-cap in the worst scenes.

Notes
TechHarmonics (Z1 Non-Extreme) reports ~30-50+FPS at 30W, dipping hard in the rat-swarm and crowd set-pieces. Use 720p (or 1080p with FSR Quality), set Shadows/Clouds/Effects to Low, and consider the community FSR 3 Frame Generation mod which meaningfully smooths the heavy scenes. The rat hordes are GPU-bound - no setting fully fixes them, so cap to 30 for steady pacing. This is a 30W title; battery runtime is short (~1.2h).
