Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Controller support follows over from X-Box making the game fun to play and I'm sure if you have a Steam Deck or a Rog Ally this will be a hit on portable platforms too.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
I've seen many improvements, and it'll get better as they optimize for Steam Deck, Cabinet Mode, and the eventual Switch release.

To its credit, the graphics and sound design are solid, and if you have HDR enabled, the tables can look genuinely impressive.
