Also remember to check protondb before you buy a game in case you have a steam deck because the verification is often wrong. I refunded Horizon Zero Dawn because it runs terribly on the steam deck (frequent dips below 30fps) and had ridiculous input lag (like 250ms more than other games). That was when I learned about protondb. Also definitely read the texts instead of just looking at the rating, a lot of people seem to be fine with performance that’s like PS4 cyberpunk.
