Read the review and thought it looked like the kind of thing that I like, but then saw that it doesn't have SteamDeck compatibility. Sorry, but if you're only going to target Windows then you're not seeing my money.

While I presume they don't provide a native Linux build, it is listed as Playable on Steam Deck.

> Valve's testing indicates that Blue Prince is Playable on Steam Deck. This game is functional on Steam Deck, but might require extra effort to interact with or configure.

> • All functionality is accessible when using the default controller configuration

> • This game shows Steam Deck controller icons

> • This game's default graphics configuration performs well on Steam Deck

My experience is that "playable" on Steam Deck generally means a poor experience. I'll wait until it's something like "verified".

My experience disagrees. Many "playable" games run very well and many "verified" don't.

You're right it can be a crapshoot as to what the rating means.
