Did not work for me. My fault, though.
I hoped, I could get it to work on my Steam Deck. Unfortunately not. Nobody promised, it would - so, it's OK.

Affected since the age of 7
The first Creatures was my first introduction into science, genetics, methods of teaching, patience, more patience, and how to use the internet on the (at the time) messed up download system for patches and extras. Lots of memories in the first game, even more in the second game because I absolutely loved the artwork. C2 had a darker setting it seemed, which helped me connect much more to the creatures I raised. In the end I look back at C1 and C2 as wonderful learning experiences and mild laid back entertainment. I also learned that injecting various chemicals into misbehaving critters gave way for some very interesting chemistry experiments. After staring at biology charts long enough you can actually read them and sound like a little doctor like I used to.

A frustrating experience
I hesitate to call "Creatures" a game. It is more akin to a toy or the world's most demanding goldfish. The furry creatures who roam on the screen have enough intelligence to disobey your commands, but not enough to obey them. You are given enough tools to spend hours in teaching and communicating with them, yet they never achieve the independence these tools are supposed to grant them. The more successful you are in keeping your creatures alive and breeding, the more difficult and time consuming it is to keep them this way. The downward spiral to total extinction become steeper with every newly born, as it becomes another burden rather then a hurdle. Creatures fails where it matters most. Despite having no direct way to control and command the creatures, they require just these to function. Trying to prevent them from dying or straying to far to survive or even just keeping them healthy enough to foster the next generation, is a frustrating experience that rarely bears fruit. The indirect means of communication and tutoring are just not enough, or perhaps it is the creatures who lack the AI to benefit from your instructions for more then the immediate situation. It's not fun or even viable as a game, but even as a simulation it misses the point. No matter how educated or capable your creature grows up to be, he still ends up requiring your constant attention. A task that can become as dull as it is frustrating when your creature decides to stay at a certain spot for hours, only to die mysteriously the moment you take your eyes off the screen. There's potential there, yes. There is vision and sophistication that is sadly lacking in most Computer Games. But all of these are squandered on poor execution that will keep you interested for a good half and hour before being moved to the virtual attic to spend the rest of eternity gathering dust.

Amazing
I played this game when I was 4 years old and it was amazing. These days I was thinking about it again and again because no other game offers its complexity and its challenge. For example the kit you have are not that simple to get (antigen, antibody and so on) so you have to search a little bit for them, there isn't the brainless tutorial telling you everything, you must discover things all by yourself. While you are trying to get a clue to the game, your norns are growing, the dangers are a lot (mushrooms, diseases for example) and at your first disease case you have no idea what to do to save your precious norn. Is like in the reality when you have no experience on breeding and you start with one subject, that subject suddenly feels sick/doesn't listen to you/get pregnant and you don't know what is the best for her/him. After certain time, you get some notions, starting to understand that that plant produce a desired/undesired effect and you move accordingly. I read a few reviews telling that norns don't listen to you. This is another tricky part, first you have to teach them the language (like a child) but at the same time you have to build a relationship with your creatures, so that they are going to listen to you more frequently (but sometimes they simply don't obey you, because they have a mind and they use it). Don't confuse this game with The Sims. The Sims - in my opinion - doesn't offer no challenge at all because there aren't unexpected events, your sims will not die or lose jobs unless you want them to. Creatures in the other hand is a lot more difficult, sometimes you are not looking at a specific norn and he decides to travel far away, till near a deadly mushroom , eating it and dying and you feel guilty about that. Genetic part is the core of the game. What traits you want to transmit? How to deal with a genetic problem? Is there any mutation? Are there any recessive/strong traits? Is a norn more suitable to transmit the traits you want and why?
