On keyboard and mouse, it just doesn’t feel the same, especially when it comes to swapping between weapons, which feels much smoother and more natural on a gamepad.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also extra credit for being a perfect Steam Deck game - runs without issues, controls are very convenient, does not require massive performance so the battery lives much longer that in many other games.
