Impressive showing on the Steam Deck (OLED), settings below
I've played through the opening sequence including the battle on the sled all the way back to the house and maintained stable 30FPS the entire time with these settings:

Getting the game to launch:

Ensure that you set the following launch option first: SteamDeck=1 %command%

Gamescope Settings:

Refresh rate: 60Hz
Frame limit: None
TDP Limit: 12
GPU Limit: None (you could probably play with this a little for more battery life, I've not yet)

In-game settings:

Frame Rate Limit: 30 fps
Scaling Method: AMD FSR 3.1
Quality Level: Quality

This will automatically default your resolution to 848 x 528, don't worry, it genuinely still looks great aside from some tesselation with hair and fur. Intel XeSS presented some shimmering I didn't like as well as loss of a few FPS compared to FSR.

Graphics preset: Low

Motion Blur: Off (this is personal preference)

Expect approximately 3 hours of battery life on a full charge on the OLED, maybe 2.4 depending on how much is going on at the time.

The two quirks I noticed were the audio cuts in and out a little at random intervals, no real rhyme or reason behind it that I can see and not consistent enough to be more than a minor annoyance, and once while defending myself on the sled it froze for a few seconds and then played fine afterwards (game's installed on my internal ssd of course).
