For anyone else who is wondering - the game works great on the steam deck. I actually prefer it over my macbook pro because it’s easier to read the screen. I’ve gotten hours logged into the game so far.
It is a perfect update of the franchise. The storylines and writing are top notch, and the technology is blowing me away with how they managed to update everything while keeping the feel.
how’s the current state of controller support? i played a bit during EA but had been planning on waiting til the PS5 release cuz I figure the layout options would be in a better state by then.
There's a controller layout from someone with some thousand hours of playtime that imitates a more traditional mouse setup where you move the cursor with the right track pad and then right and left click with the triggers (like you would in desktop mode). I've switched to using that and I like it more, even though the official controller layout does a decent job, it gets a bit annoying going through all the combat actions.
