Having played this on the Steam Deck last year, I can say without a doubt that Gyro Controls make this game much, much better. I really enjoyed it.

The former!

The codec for prerendered cutscenes isn’t baked in.

Probably not fully, unless they actually do work on the games. The cutscenes on some of the games play with a proprietary protocol that even Proton-GE can’t run. So, while the game works, the cutscenes don’t.

It’s feasible that they will fix it, but I consider it highly unlikely.
