Seems to work fine, unsure why Valve flagged it as unsupported. It's actually quite fun on the Deck.
Medium settings including SSAO + SMAA Low run pretty steady at 30 fps, 60 is unstable even at lowest settings and resolution.
Framerate's stable at 30 with medium settings, but anything above is difficult to achieve.
The game does not pause automatically when "losing focus", and occasionally refuses any input (except for menus) after returning from the Deck's menu.
I'm not sure why Valve gave this an "unsupported" rating. It works fine, once you get past the weirdly long loading screen.
The performance is a little disappointing. I wasn't able to get to a stable 60 fps even with lowest settings and less-than-native resolution. If you're fine with 30 fps, it runs very stable even on "Medium" + SMAA + SSAO (volumetric lighting disabled), but anything above that turns into a mess quickly. I couldn't even get 45 fps to work reliably on low settings. I also noticed the Deck's own framerate limiter causing a lot of juddering as opposed to the built-in one. YMMV.
Controls on the Deck are fine out of the box, as it's controller-optimized on PC as well.
In general, I think it's a pretty good fit for the Deck, with smaller levels that you can get through in 5-10 minutes (probably longer in later levels), and if you can live with 30 fps (and about two and a quarter hours of battery life at that framerate), I recommend you give it a try.
