Yeah it was a blast, like, incredibly pleasurable to play.

The controller layout and the steam deck layout just mapped excellently. Everything felt incredibly organic, almost as if the game was designed for the deck.

I'm on BG3 now and its not nearly as good of an experience. The graphics feel lacking compared to W3. I'm not sure I've got it tuned correctly. The key mapping is 'so so'; I play city skylines and its way better mapping for a mouse based click and do stuff game.

The key mapping / controller layout and zoom / perspective questions are the make it or break it for any game on deck. I really like the steam deck controller set up (in-spite of the fact that before the deck, I'm almost exclusively a keyboard and mouse gamer). I like how flexible the set up is, but I feel like not enough games are taking advantage of the options and the community layouts are hit and miss.
