It works fine for me, with a few small settings tweaks. I've probably logged ~70 of my ~310 playtime hours playing on Deck.
Of course it's mostly low settings, so it doesn't look as beautiful as it does running on my desktop via a 3080 at 1440p... but it looks good enough and runs well enough to be enjoyable on a handheld. I don't think I could enjoy an action-heavy game with the same performance, but for something turn-based that focuses more on the story, I'm having a blast.
That said, it sounds like that's the crux: I'm playing it in a portable fashion, on the Deck's screen directly, while it sounds like you're playing on an external monitor, with keyboard+mouse?
Yes; until D3DMetal came out, I was using my Steam Deck as a gaming PC, in order to play games not ported to macOS.
