Works great!

The text is fairly readable which is important for a game like this. The game works amazingly with controller and was even designed for it in mind. I highly recommend playing this with Deck.

On Linux Mint 20.3 the game installed but when trying to run it would throw a Unity error of some kind with no text explaining it, then crash back to steam. On Linux Mint 21, fresh install with just steam, the game had no option to be installed until I selected a forced proton option. It then installed and ran fine under proton experimental.

Works well.

I switched L1 and R1 to be L4 and R4 respectively.

Works great. The gamepad controls aren't the best, but work well enough.

Game did immediately crash when launching with the default proton version. Forcing it to experimental makes the game work perfectly fine.

Runs perfectly out of the box

Proper resolution, controller support, runs perfectly.

Given just how easy it is to run you can almost certainly crank down your performance settings for very good battery life.
