Outer Wilds - Amazing exploration game that is best played without looking at any guides etc. I use the 40hz option to play and it runs great, not dropping below 40fps.

Hades - You've probably heard of this one! Runs perfectly on the deck, easy to just pick up and attempt a run.

TUNIC - A charming RPG in the vein of the old Zelda games, this one is unique in that you find pages of the 'Instruction Manual', which you'll need to read to help you figure out puzzles within the game. It's awesome, would highly recommend on the deck!

Let me know what you're all playing so I can grab some bargains!

For me, the ideal Deck games are ones that don't lose anything when scaling down to the small screen and APU.

I'll never understand people playing high visual fidelity games at 30fps on Low settings on Deck, if that person has a more powerful PC to play the game on.

Meanwhile, something like Civilization VI basically loses nothing when played on Deck.

Hades and Tunic both make sense to me as Deck game picks.

I did this with Cyberpunk 2077 despite having an RTX 2080 in my main PC. My reasoning was that I wanted to play from my couch. Now I could have just use the Steam cast feature to play it from my gaming PC, but I didn't see the point in mucking about with it (especially given that my house has terrible Wifi... I should fix this lol).
