That’s great, but to be fair some of them are “technically playable” but a real pain in the ass to play on the steam deck. The definition of “playable” is really not what you’d expect.
EDIT: I don’t understand why I’m getting downvoted so much… I own a steam deck and love it, and my comment is on topic…
I’m literally the only top comment on the thread, are you guys trying to incentivize people not to engage on lemmy’s post ?
If i had to guess at why the downvotes, I’d say there’s a failure of comprehension here.
“Great on Deck” means you can play them well on the Steam Deck with few hiccups (damn near what you get if you ran it on Windows, basically). No more, no less. Doesn’t indicate that the game would feel good to play with a controller, but you CAN play it regardless. I don’t have a Deck, but yeah there’s a couple of games in my library that I look at the Community Controller Layouts and go “nah, that looks like a nightmare to use. I’m just gonna not be lazy and KB&M it”. I’m gonna assume doing the opposite on The Deck is…not impossible, but very impractical. Also gonna assume this is your gripe VS what people are likely taking from your sentence (“it says they’re playable, but they’re not”)

I think you are right. I guess I should have been clearer to convey what I meant.
i use it as a rough guide.
but always check some reviews and comments from deck users too.
no three point scale can reflect all the ins and outs, of techical and playability and preferences.
