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.

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.
