Just got here and I have been playing D4 on the deck since early access. Love the deck!

Diablo 4 has been absolutely perfect on the deck once you get battle.net loaded up. Runs awesome, good battery life if you lower the graphics a little and limit FPS.
Control has been fun to play on the deck. Also started messing with ray tracing in the same game. Choppy when the effects are turned up, but it can do it.
Trying to work through my backlog. I've just started A Hat In Time and enjoying it so far.
I know it isn't typical, but I love using my deck as a Steam Link client.
Im currently swapping between playing Rimworld, and Tape to Tape.
Tape to Tape is a hockey rogue lite that playes like classic nhl games with a bit of Mario Strikers.
Love my Steam Deck. Lots of Brotato, some Runescape, brawlhalla, Game Boy Games on RetroArch. Hollow Knight too.
I literally haven't played my PC since getting my steam deck, it's fantastic. When they make a Steam Deck 2 I'll preorder it.
Pro-tip I've discovered: Don't trust Steam's "not supported" flag. It's probably supported fine, if you can enter a command line to bypass the launcher. 99% of the "not supported" guys are launcher problems. And you can play your Epic and GOG games through Heroic Launcher.
Played MGS5 through to completion, worked flawlessly. Played through the Kingdom series. Been playing Offworld Trading Company. Call of Juarez Gunslinger. Mortal Kombat 11. Devil May Cry 5. Played Elite Dangerous a bit just to make sure it would (requires bypassing launcher but works). Going to do a replay of Fallout New Vegas here once I'm done with OTC, or maybe Fallout 4 or Outer Worlds. Also been meaning to throw Cyberpunk at it to see how it handles but I don't suspect it's gonna present a problem.
Seriously, these things are the missing link in PC gaming.
Currently playing BOTW, Stardew Valley, Cassette Beasts, and Shadow Tactics Blade of the Shogun (I have trouble focusing on one game at once.)
Super excited for BG3 too, although I'm waiting for controller support with the full release first.
Been mainly using it to get through the Trails series before Trails from Reverie releases in July - currently on Trails of Cold Steel 4, but it's a hard one to get through.
Other than that, been emulating Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity and playing with friends.
Oooo. The trails series would be great to start back up.
Some games through Steam I have played on Steam Deck(in no particular order): Cassette Beasts; Wizard of Legend; Skyrim; Tunic; Bugsnax. I have also played a few from Flathub through the Discover application. SuperTuxKart can be fun. Minecraft through Prism Launcher with a controller mod is decent enough, although I would prefer to have mouse and keyboard available.
Slayers X, this is a funny meta boomer shooter made by one of the characters of Hypnospace Outlaw, Hypnospace Outlaw is also great to play on the Deck.
Got mine a couple months ago, my most played games so far are Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, Monster Train, Isaac and Enter the Gungeon.
Some others I like that play well on the deck with good controller support: Crypt of the Necrodancer, Spelunky, Cluster Truck, Baba is You, Hades, Hotline Miami 1 & 2, Mark of the Ninja, Steamworld Heist and of course Vampire Survivors.
Previous thread for some more ideas.
Been playing a lot of the Resident Evil 4 remake, and Stalker Anomaly. The gyro controls for aiming are amazing.
✋ :D
I love it. I mostly have MacOS for work and there are a decent number that work on that. It's nice to get back into a Linux machine and nicer that it mostly just works(tm) for a lot of games (and can be tweaked for those that don't!)
I've played just about every roguelite on the platform, they work great on it. Especially the cheap early access ones.
Right now, I'm doing a run through of the first Borderlands again. Runs great on maximum as well. I'm curious how the sequels will run but no hurry.
I like to dock the Steam Deck for couch coop. Go to games include Overcooked, Boomerang Fu and Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time.
I absolutely love the steam deck. I bounce around games, the most recent new release I played was Hogwarts Legacy. More recently I've been using it as like background occupation to listen to podcasts and have been playing euro truck sim 2 and American truck sim. It's also gotten me back into Elite: Dangerous so I should probably finish that exploration route I had set up. I also very almost finished Celeste (like I'm on the final level), so I should probably go back and finish that. Like I said, I bounce around lol.
Playing next I'm not really sure, I bought KSP2 on launch day but wasn't really able to run it, but the new updates seem to have majorly improved performance so I'll try that when I next feel like it.
