If the majority of a users playtime at the time of review was from playing on Deck, the review will have a Deck icon next to it.

The game in the screenshot is SAND LAND. You can view the reviews here to easily see some examples of this new icon.

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to filter reviews to show Deck reviews only.

    If this is to give more context to reviews that give poor reviews for the performance of a game, why don’t they just have the user’s full system specs visible somewhere? They do already collect that info.

    I mean what if they use something like the ROG Ally?

      Games have specs on steam. We could easily get a performance percentage for gamers with less than optimal setups without blasting their systems. I personally have a good one yet may struggle during forced windows updates or when my ssd is getting heavy loads from my other apps. That would not be caught by such ratings.

    How the heck are people writing reviews on the Steamdeck? Are they plugging in a keyboard?

    I can barely form sentences on the virtual kb and tagged keyboard only games so I can play them at my gaming PC.

      You can write the reviews from your PC still, and it will tag it as a steam deck review if most of your playtime is on deck.

      As for typing on the deck, the OLED has a much more responsive touchscreen and typing is better on it. On the LCD deck I would stick to track pad typing though.
