It can be a bit on the short side, but if you enjoy top-down stealth games, you will enjoy this one. Serial Cleaners is a really interesting game. I tend to prefer using the pad in menus, so this felt odd, but it is very minor in the grand scheme. I learned that using the analog stick worked perfectly and using the D-pad right after worked just fine as well. Using the D-pad to control the menu and it didn't work.

While Serial Cleaners itself didn't seem to have any issues when controlling characters, the menus had an odd one. It never got bad enough to be unplayable though! Menu Control Issues In our recommended build, this was curbed a bit, but still happened every now and than. I did notice that in every build we tried, there were some framerate fluctuations. We dropped the framerate to 50 FPS, which with a TDP limit of 12, allowed us to stay below 20W drain on average with crisp visuals. Luckily, we were able to do it, but did make some cuts to make sure battery life wasn't super overwhelming. We also wanted to find a way to get a 1280x720 resolution with a 100% render scale. This framerate felt just as good as 60 FPS and it did give the ability to save a lot of battery while still looking great. I was also able to get around a 11W - 15W drain for a 3 - 3.5 hour battery. At 55 FPS, 1024x576 with FSR Sharpness 1, a mix of high and medium settings, and a 75% render scale made the game feel incredible while still looking sharp and sleek. Through my testing, I found a nice balance I am pretty happy with.
