Huh what?
There's a game series called "hitman". A friend recommended one of the games. I installed it and had difficulty playing it because it was difficult to control the character. The game was made in an era when it needed to be released on consoles to be financially viable. If it is released on consoles, it follows that it needs to be made for people controlling the character with a "controller". The steam deck is kinda set up as a "controller".
Despite these two seemingly perfect intersections, the game does not play well on the steam deck.
That explains. What Hitman version are you referring to? You said Steam port but I own Hitman World of Assassination on Steam using an XBox controller, and I never thought the controls were poor. But you're specifically talking about Steam Deck. I cannot comment on that

Can you give me an example of what you found difficult? I'm unsure because, huh what?
They didn't add controller support in the steam version so it's more or less emulating the keyboard. I'm the top left corner it has "E","SPC",& another key, and gives you a description of the action associated with those keys which change depending on the situation. Getting the rifle in the intro mission was a chore between picking up the case and having to choose it from the inventory to take it out, then trying to get into scoped mode because none of that is labeled on the action keys. Also having a joystick emulate a mouse comes with it's own issues. It just wasn't an enjoyable experience trying to pay it.
Are you playing the first Hitman game from the early 2000s by any chance? Because sounds like it. The new ones have full controller support, silly.

Ah, Blood Money. Phenomenal game but old 🫤
