I had fun playing it on PC, but the game is just that much more fun and immersive on the Deck. I'd say it's the first game where I've noticed a big difference since I got my Deck last week.

On the other hand, I found Slay the Spire to be better on PC. The controls and smaller screen seem to get in the way a little bit more.

Any other suggestions for games that really shine on the Deck vs PC?

Great on deck fr:

Vampire Survivors

WH40K: Boltgun

Dave the Diver

Diablo 4 plays really well on the Steamdeck if you feel like jumping through a couple hoops to get the launcher working.

Power Wash Simulator is solid on deck as well

Brotato is worth checking out too especially for those who enjoy Vampire Survivors. Plays very smoothly on the deck.
In both Vamp and Brotato I make the right stick act as left too, nice to be able to switch hands any time.

Stick tip is clutch, you thinking outside the bun

Boltgun using gyro and trackpads is great! Takes a while to get the right settings but it’s totally worth it

I play Dave the Diver on the Deck. But one time, for a test, I started it on my PC with an XBox controller and the controls where preciser. But I still play it on the Deck.
