I am continuously shocked that people play things like BG3 or Cyberpunk on their Steam Deck. I love my Deck, and play it lots, but those games run like absolute garbage on it.
BG3 actually runs great now. Larian has been grinding away at it all year. Native Linux and all.
Cyberpunk is playable if you avoid the expansion areas.
I read about their native implementation and think that is awesome of them. I have been meaning to try it again since but honestly remain skeptical that it's an enjoyable experience, for my standards at least. I think that is a game that will remain on desktop for me.
I played before the full Linux build, and I even used to do it with Ps5 controller on my 55' TV.
The game worked great honestly, it did crash once or twice, and it did slow waaaaaay down when getting into fights with 20+ people, but that was always due to my own mods and what not. Definitely not native experience.
All that to say, it worked very well before they made a deck/Linux specific version so I'd imagine that it works darn near flawlessly now.
