In the last few the levels (last dungeon and the area right before that) the game startet to stutter. Every 3 seconds the game had a single frame that took 150ms, which resultet in a predictable and constant hitching.
Aside from slight frame pacing issues, it has been perfectly playable from start to finish.
The game has a hard time keeping a STEADY 60FPS. It is not a performance problem, as it has no problem reaching higher FPS. Playing on a TV I had it set to 1080p at 120Hz and it easily reached 110.
The frame pacing is just really bad.
VSync, windowed, borderless, 60Hz cap... no matter, it is always badly paced.
Without Proton-GE I had the controls not working reliably with my XBOX controller.

Game launches into blank screen without tinkering. With ProtonGE it launched and played perfectly.
The game loads and runs perfectly, but the Steam Deck is not being detected as a suitable controller by the game.
Tried using Proton-GE 21, 31 and 37 but that didn't help.
Unplayable currrently
This game was playable for me on the Steam Deck without tinkering once. Not sure what changed.
Gyro set to "As Stick"
If you go into the game settings and toggle "Swap Zoom & Look" And enable Gyro "As Stick" you can use the SteamDeck Gyro for camera movement.
Save game is lost sometimes after crashes
Guaranteed crashes at certain points.
Without any tinkering you cannot see the cutscenes, which can be very frustrating, as some of them are always french (I don't speak french) and they cannot be skipped (The first one is quite long).
I also enabled one of the backpedals to be "jump" as this allows for casting magic while jumping without holding the Deck weird.
Enabled back pedals for jumping. (Mapped 'R4' to controller button 'B')
The game automatically clocks the GPU around 700 to 800 MHz and uses ~2.5W.
I locked it to 800Mhz it now it uses ~0.5W
Locked the GPU frequency to ~600Mhz. Improving GPU power draw from ~2W to ~0.5W
