Finished the entire game (single player) without any issues. Haven't tested local multiplayer nor remote play together.
The game runs without any issues.
Singleplayer works fine on Steam Deck with default settings. Will test multiplayer when I get the chance.
Steam overlay doesn't work, which also means the store doesn't work. It personally doesn't matter to me, but I know it will matter to some players hence the Silver rating, otherwise I'd give it a platinum because other than that everything works, including controllers.
Everything works out of the box, no performance or stability issues. I played through all 3 of the games.

The game works fine overall. It has no performance issues and it's 100% completable.
The game has the same issue as hitman blood money where the bottom portion of the game is outside of the screen, it must be run in windowed mode. Other than that it has no issues.
After starting the game, I noticed that the video is offset towards the bottom so that the bottom ~10% of the game cannot be seen. I fixed this issue by changing the "HitmanBloodMoney.ini" file so that Resolution variable matches my screen resolution (changed the line of text from "Resolution 1024x768" to "Resolution 1600x900"). After that, the video is fixed and the game is perfectly playable. I later realized that there's an option to change your resolution in the game settings, but that option was not visible on my screen because the whole video output of the game was pushed down. The game has another issue if I alt-tab from the game, the in-game sound still plays and glitches (loops the last 0.1 seconds) until I return to the game. The issues are minor and the game is a Platinum rank in my opinion (even though I have to rate it as Gold), all Valve would have to do is to overwrite the default resolution in the .ini file with your screen resolution when the game is installed (or start the game in windowed mode or offer you to do so on startup) and disable sound when you alt-tab, which is both trivial to do. I had no performance issues on highest quality settings.
When starting a game, there were a couple of missing textures (the ability icons if I remember correctly). However, the textures rendered fine after a few minutes and this issue has never re-appeared.
On the first launch the game didn't render at all, there was just an artifact texture all over the screen. I exited the game and re-opened it and it worked fine. I've played it multiple times since then and I never had this issue again.
The game has a few graphical issues at first, so I wouldn't say it's perfect. However, the fact that the issues are resolved after a few minutes of gameplay (and they never appear again) I'd say the game works fine.
Tested several controllers, video and sound options, found no issues.
Works significantly better than the native version. Proton version can properly use other display resolutions without freezing your OS and the random audio buzzing/crackling bug doesn't seem to appear in the proton version. Proton version should replace the native KF as a default install. Performance isn't that great on high settings, but it's better than native. I don't have a windows machine to get the reference performance/fps on windows.
Says it can't find "LastHopeTD.exe". Renaming "LastHopeTD.x86" to "LastHopeTD.exe" makes the game open, but the game crashes immediately in the main menu, after it loads.
While the game fully works, an average Joe would open the game, see a black screen and think "game is broken". Cutscenes need to be fixed.
Video cutscenes do not work well. Basically, the following happens:
- The game wants to play a video cutscene. (example: The Opening)
- The main game window remains black, but another/separate window is open (and gains focus) just to play the cutscene video.
- Since the main game window lost focus, the cutscene will pause until you click back into the main game. (the game thinks you alt-tabbed)
To watch cutscenes: you have to right-click on the 2nd window (where the cutscene is played) and click "Keep Above Other Windows", then click back onto the main game. The cutscene will now play as if it were a video player above the main game. This won't work in fullscreen (fullscreen takes precedence over an always-on-top window). If you're in fullscreen (or Steam Deck), either just skip the cutscenes and watch them on YT, or switch to windowed mode.
It's not a big deal since 99% of dialog happens as in-game dialog, rather than in a video cutscene. (The rest of the game works fine.)
Game works fine out of the box.
The audio issue doesn't appear in Proton 5-13.
Works great out of the box, no issues found.
Audio doesn't work by default (I think by default Linux Native version is launched). I've enabled Proton 7.0-3 in the Properties->Compatibility and this resolved the issue.
The game works fine (didn't try multiplayer). However, the audio is missing unless you use Proton.
Works flawlessly just like the native version. Don't know if there's any performance drop between native and proton because the game isn't demanding and is locked at 60 fps.
Forced the use of compatibility tool - Proton v7.0
Audio is completely absent if you use whatever the default runtime is. (as in, you just install and play) Forcing "Linux Runtime" fixes audio, but disables joystick support. Forcing "Proton 7.0-3" fixes the audio issue.
I was able to 100% the game, achievements and everything. Performance is great, in fact I was running the game with TDP limited to 5W most of the time. The default controller setting works just fine. The only issue this game has is the fact that the default install doesn't have audio, but this can be fixed by going to Preferences->Compatibility and selecting Proton 7.0. Newer versions will probably also work, and I assume this issue will be fixed over time. But before this issue is resolved I wouldn't consider this game "enjoyable by typical gamers".
Levels take a while to load. The game randomly freezes.
Game would completely freeze sometimes when restarting a level
When the game is installed normally (Linux Native) you cannot launch the game. When switching to "Proton Experimental" as a compatibility tool, the game launches but it's unstable and freezes often.
The game seems to work fine on the Steam Deck. Although I haven't completed it fully yet (played only half way through) so I can't be 100% sure there aren't any edge cases later on in the game. But it looks like it doesn't have issues.
Everything works as expected. I only have access to the free version of the game for now so I can't say anything about "pass and play" or online multiplayer, but the AI, campaign and tutorials all work fine.
Re-tested the game to try multiplayer (arena was free, pass-and-play and online play need a DLC which I got). Multiplayer works. I can now officially say that this game has absolutely no issues, at least from my experience. It works out of the box with no configuration needed.
Initially it had to reset itself because it needed to download data, but after that it just worked fine.
