This game is the reason why a guy [the legendary u/-YoRHa2B-] started working on dxvk, to make this game compatible on linux after it released. Valve hired him and made Proton out of it. The result is the Steam Deck, this remains one of the best games for the SD.
What an interesting story sounds like an easy recommend for the deck.
I enjoyed the game, both the story and the mechanics. The boss fights felt epic. I wouldn’t rave about it though as like death stranding I don’t think it’s for everyone.
No mainstream for sure, but this as well as Desth Stranding are both a piece of art.
Just confirming that you did reload your save after “beating the game”. I remember when the game came out people were only partially beating the game because they didn’t know there was more!!!
