Content Warning Steam Deck Issues
Content Warning is not controlled by Steam Deck, so some compatibility issues might occur. For example, some menu navigation is done with a trackpad, which takes some time to get used to. Hopefully, some future update will make the game much more compatible with the Steam Deck controls.
Another significant problem with Content Warning is the gameplay permanent online nature Yes, you must always be online to play Content Warning, which could be inconvenient while on the move. Even with Steam support, games that are always online are not ideal for playing on portable systems.
