The default controls are mapped to keyboard input, which is mostly not replicated “out of the box” by the buttons on the Steam Deck. Most buttons on the Steam Deck are recognized during remapping, however the R1, R1, L4, L5, R4 and R5 buttons aren’t detected.

As noted, the controls need to be remapped because by default, they are mapped to the keyboard; with the exception of the R1, R1, L4, L5, R4 and R5 buttons, all of the Steam Deck buttons are detected. Menu input only works using the touchscreen; one cannot navigate the menu using the buttons on the Steam Deck. Text cannot be entered, as the on-screen keyboard does not appear - however text input is only rquired at limited times during the game (such as when naming one's profile). The "recent games" artwork for the Steam Deck is missing, but all other game-related artwork appears to be displayed without issue on the Steam Deck.
This game looks fantastic and for the most part, plays well, despite the fact that this is a free game that is not (officially) Steam Deck compatible... And for the most part, it performs well.
There are a few minor quibbles, which I have noted; but if you love ice skating and don't mind spending 5-10 minutes setting this game up, you'll probably enjoy it.
