As someone who loves the steam deck, the verification system is a total joke and should be totally ignored. There's plenty of "verified" games that run terribly, or don't work. ProtonDB is what you should use instead.

Eh, I've had pretty good luck with Verified titles. It's not perfect, but generally speaking:

  • verified - no concerns about compat
  • playable - check reasons, and maybe protondb if there's anything concerning
  • unsupported/unknown - check protondb

ProtonDB also isn't perfect, and there are plenty of "gold" and "platinum" titles that I've had (small) issues with.

Reading ProtonDB comments sure. Going off of just the ratings no.
