I have only encountered one "game breaking" bug literally just happened and ironically happened after I "debugged" a machine.

I went to hit the PDA as the character was "moving away" from the machine and the game paused, and locked me out from doing anything else. I couldn't unpause at all so I had to hard close the game - no real biggie to be fair more annoying.

I don't know if any other bugs have been fixed, I do know one that can also lock your game if you order 2 arcade cabinets for the same day? But I haven't done that and will avoid it anyway.

Apart from that game runs pretty well, it has its little annoyances of course but what game doesn't

It looks really good, something that would play well on my steam deck

Its a nice game, and I double dipped and got it on the Switch, it is a bit laggy on there think it locks to 30fps or something (even in docked mode) but its still playable. So I could imagine the steam deck - which is a bit more powerful - will handle this game well.

Okay, here is my information on this:

First, there are very few bugs that break the game. Duke told of the Open PDA after Debugging and stuck Paused, I've had this too. This is the only one that caused me to have to restart the game. So overall, the game's bugs are manageable.

This being said, there are MANY MANY issues still present. In the past day, or around 20 game days, I have had all of the following (and more I can't recall to list):
*: Gum that cannot be accessed to be removed.
*: Toads and Turtles is still almost totally unplayable--you fall through a log or turtle and cannot tell if they are there or not (I mentioned this bug months ago--it's still there)
*: Air Hockey (Not video) has extremely bad controls and is pretty much impossible to get the goals. Mouse control, please?
*: Impossible Daily Tasks! End of Game and No More Laundry? Task is 'Do 7 Loads of Laundry'...and we can't travel to another Laundromat...
*: Tasks listing incorrect information. "Hit Woodguy 5 Times" in Gopher Bash.. but you have to hit him 10 times to complete it.
*: In Barkanoid, if your ball directly hits the corner exactly between two bricks that do not break, it will spin super fast in a circle, but move VERY slowly--possibly taking almost 2 minutes to reach the dog or edge of the screen, at which time it goes to full speed immediately.
*: High Score Challenge Emails that come without you completing the previous tier, sometimes being contradictory.. "My score is 148, beat that." Don't play that game, and the next day you get another mail "Try to beat 145!" First, a new challenge shouldn't happen yet, and second it should be HIGHER than the previous record.
*: Hustler Pool. Physics went crazy TWICE, once with a ball passing through another without hitting it. Also, the tracking lines here are ALWAYS wrong on angle shots. It will NEVER follow the indicated path, so you'll be playing until you can line up pretty straight shots.
*: Shuttlecocks. I've had the ball go through my paddle at least a dozen times.
*: Dance games, when using gamepad or keyboard, the 'hold and release' arrows will most of the time not recognize the release. You will break the combo.
*: Some of the games, especially the DLC ones, are literally going to need a turbo controller or something, because you're literally pressing buttons as fast as you can--I mean in some cases you need 8+ keystrikes a second, sometimes alternating back and forth with perfect accuracy. No arcade games were every so exhausting to do. I play them once, and have to sit back and rest my hands. Not fun at all.
*: I have had goals randomly complete while I stand still. I'll be looking at the pause PDA, and flip from tasks to a game to check the game goals, then back to the task list and 'wow the task just completed' by doing nothing. This can also happen with goals too. I got the "Kill 100 Zombies with each weapon" in Zombat 2 without killing 100 with each--I actually had just hit 99 exactly with the flamethrower. My trophy popped, but the goal needing more also did too.

Simply put, the Devs have been focused on DLC games that can be added by buying them on Steam. This is fine, but they REALLY need to go back and fix the ones already in the game.

They need to add difficulties to many game and adjust the play. Air Hockey and Hustler Pool need difficulty settings. Some games need minor fixes.. A 'Draw' button in Line Terror would be a lifesaver as you can't accurately reach the edge without drawing to go around corners. Some games need speed ups--Barkanoid and Fruit Crush... I can fall asleep waiting for things to move in these games. Fix the physics in Pool, Please. Make the logs and turtles solid in Toad and Turtles...

The game overall is very fun.

The games within the game need repairs, fixes, and QoL changes.
