Quite a nice surprise! Sid Meier's Civilization VII from Firaxis Games / 2K has been given the green tick of approval from Valve, as it's now Steam Deck Verified ahead of release.
I believe the only reason civ 6 isn’t verified is because the keyboard doesn’t automatically appear when needed, otherwise it works pretty seamlessly in my experience. Good controller support, touch pad is ideal for navigating the UI, and I setup a custom virtual menu with hot keys for common actions.
There’s technically a native Linux version too, but lacks multithreading so Windows version with proton is still better.
