Great article and explanation on why Proton and its components are such a game changer. Thanks for sharing!
Ironically, Nier Automata is only listed as “playable” on Steam Deck.
That’s only because the game requires entering text with the on screen keyboard.
The issue is that it doesn’t automatically pop up the keyboard, you have to press steam + x yourself. I believe the support for it requires the game to implement Steam Input API which not that many games do.

Completely agree. Steam deck reports on ProtonDB are much more reliable. Using the decky plugin makes checking these really easy too.
No kidding. “Playable” includes a reason, at least, but we really need a better filter. I know they want to keep things as idiot proof as possible, but “advanced options” exist for a reason.
Really interesting stuff. Just goes to show how one person really can make a difference.
Is this one worth playing?
Need something for after the Witcher.
Nier Automata has, IMO, the best story to exist in game format. Gameplay itself isn’t anything special but it’s fun enough to keep you engaged, but the story is the real reason to play this game.
Can’t recommend this game enough.
Well that’s high praise.
And also justified praise.
There could never be a story like Nier Automata on any medium outside of gaming, and there probably is no story like Nier Automata anywhere else in gaming right now.
Also, clicking robots is pretty fun.
