Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
It is easier than other games but enjoyable, and it also has difficulty levels to choose from. 8 out of 10, played on the Steamdeck and ran perfect 60 fps.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The main menu music, while always great, is even better in this version, as it's now a great electronic remix of the original violin music.
