The hotkey interface lets you do things quickly and the game even plays really well with a controller which is fantastic for Steam Deck users (I "gamepad with mouse" config that emulates a regular gamepad but has the right trackpad as a mouse, and I mapped the pad click as a mouse click.
Performance

Game had a lot of problems in the beginning, bugs and crashing, but after playing January 18 patch, its much more stable than before, FPS improved as well.
