Works fine and plays great with the controller, didn't have to tweak the layout. Just use touchscreen for the launcher, make sure to untick the directx11 option to avoid blurry text. Didn't have any issues overall, only an occasional stutter entering different areas. I'd consider this one practically verified.
Proton Experimental seems to solve common user issues with instability. Haven't had a single crash or problem with gameplay and cutscenes throughout playing on the Deck. I just use the touchscreen for the game launcher. You will have to change the resolution here as it's set to the smallest by default and will crash. I can't attest to X-2's experience as I haven't played it yet. One small issue is that you can't access the in-game system menu with the bonus features using a controller (Need the Esc key.) This is also a problem playing on PC anyhow. You can probably fix this by remapping buttons but I didn't find it was something I needed while playing. Overall a good experience I'd say.
Had no issues whatsoever with the Native version, performance and graphics were fine as well. Used an Xbox one gamepad while playing docked with no issues. If you're looking to buy, would recommend this version over the newer Remastered which seems to have some performance and compatibility issues through Linux. This one looks better anyways in my opinion.
Had no issues with the native version at the highest settings docked with a gamepad. Handheld seemed fine as well. Can't attest to it's desktop Linux experience as people seem to be reporting issues there. Great on the deck though.
Works great so far on the deck. The ideal way to play the next gen version of this game handheld.
Some text in menus and mycareer was small and hard to read but not completely illegible
Just used proton experimental as a default, no tinkering was really required on my end. Just turn off the resolution scaling in video settings as it's turned on by default and looks pretty bad. Game runs fine with it off. Some menu text can be hard to read or blurry but it isn't illegible. This is the ideal way to play this game next gen handheld compared to the poor legacy switch port.
Sometimes the mouse would appear on screen while using the gamepad but It would go away. Has the same issue on windows anyways. Overall it plays fine.
Works perfectly fine out of the box, requires a console command for Season 1 save import.
Had no issues overall playing the game. If you want to import your Season 1 save file however, you need to go into desktop mode and peform this command in Konsole: cp -r ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/207610/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My\ Documents/Telltale\ Games/The\ Walking\ Dead ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/261030/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My\ Documents/Telltale\ Games/The\ Walking\ Dead
Would reccomend just opening firefox and copy and pasting this command directly to avoid the pain of the deck keyboard.
Overall didn't have any issues or needed tweaks, can run a little hot at times. Battery life was about 3 hours on default settings unplugged. Changing performance and battery settings could probably mitigate this, not a huge issue. Looks and runs great on medium-high settings. Very fun on the deck.
Automatically detected gamepad controls. Runs practically native. Feels like a better mobile version than the Google Play or iOS ports.
