Setup and you're good to go. The game actually runs fantastically well on the Deck. Medium settings with FSR 2 Balanced drains 15W in dungeons and the open world, 23W in town. Hits a flat 40fps so if you frame limit in-game and set the Steam Deck to run in 40Hz mode, you get ultra smooth gameplay.
What are the controls like? I'm used to playing Diablo type games with mouse and keyboard. How does it translate over to game pad? Or do you run anything special with the track pad?
I played 2 and 3 with a mouse and keyboard wasn’t too sure getting into 4 on PS5 but overall it’s been a great experience. You can definitely tell they took the time to design this game for controller support.
My only qualm is occasionally I attack an npc while trying to target another.
