Played this on PC with a PS4 controller, which is obviously not what the devs intended but I think even if I had a Steam Deck, it wouldn't have improved the experience all that much.
Honestly I didn't really enjoy this game. Like, at all. It literally is just a tech demo for the Steam Deck, and I was expecting a bit more of an actual game to go with it. Turns out it's just a glorified turret shooter that has about 20% gameplay and 80% cutscenes. Also, the comedic writing and voice acting isn't up to par for this franchise, although JK Simmons still kills it as Cave Johnson 11 years after Portal 2's release.
The ONLY reasons I recommend it are because it gives some new lore for the Portal story, it's free, and it's very short (I left it paused on my computer for about 40 minutes so my playtime hours are inflated).
