When it comes to DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), a player typically has the ability to toggle and fine-tune settings to their liking for an optimal gaming experience. Yet, in a shocking move, Ninja Gaiden 4 has streamlined this to a mere enabled or disabled option.

As highlighted by user @Sebasti66855537 on Twitter, the game’s Steam discussion page has been buzzing with feedback, notably criticizing this simplification from developers who have stated:

“At this time, DLSS options aren’t adjustable directly from the in-game graphics menu. To tweak DLSS modes (e.g., Performance/Quality), please open the NVIDIA App/GeForce Experience and adjust the DLSS settings there.”

It has prompted frustration among gamers, particularly as Ninja Gaiden 4 is priced at $70 yet appears to lack essential features concerning graphics scaling. While activating DLSS seems to set the game to a quality mode, this one-size-fits-all approach has led to complaints from players that it will not adequately address individual performance needs. The omission of these adjustable settings directly in the UI strikes many as a significant misstep.

Overall, community feedback indicates that treating DLSS as a blunt instrument might overshadow the quality of the gameplay experience, leaving many eager for a patch that reinstates more granular control in the in-game settings.
