I am currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on my deck, performs well enough (the major concern is the affect to the battery if playing handheld). Keyboard required for first time set-up (virtual keeb didn't work).
Others:
No Man's Sky - endless playability imo and was my go to when I purchased
Planet Zoo - I haven't actually played on deck yet, but I got my desktop setup where I only need to use the mouse, and plan to try the strategy on my deck.
Dofromantik - this is a relaxed puzzle game that is very good on deck
Podman - containerization is a game, and the deck is a Linux computer after all :)
"I'm savvy with programming!!"
Sees Rust -- "NO NOT LIKE THAT!!"
Guess I should start getting familiar with Rust
