If you enjoy card games (you mentioned slay the spire, so I assume you do) then I can also recommend Monster Train. Pretty fun to pick up for short sessions, runs great too.

Hades is phenomenal on the deck! I'm also enjoying Backfirewall, Nuclear Throne, Unpacking, and Ghost Song.
Any Metroidvania is great. Almost any 2d game is great. Newer intensive 3d games are nice but the battery goes quick.
The only issues I've had with the hardware is the pointer finger placements for the triggers are hard to use both on the same side if you use a game that makes use of both a lot.
I do wish I waited a year for summer sale though. The 20% discount on the antiglare screen would've been cheaper than the mid tier I bought. I game way more outside now though with my toddler son when he plays in the yard. The mirror reflection is killer sometimes.
Fallout: New Vegas looks great on a small screen and runs really well on the Deck. I found it to look really dated on a larger screen, but not so much on the Deck. It’s also not very demanding, so easy on the battery
I'm currently playing Omori and while I'm not very far in, so far the game really benefits from that sort of "console" feel the deck has.
Both Ori games were also amazing to play on the deck.
I am playing Jurassic World Evolution 2, works great on Deck out of the box.
I also have Hades in queue.
Tails of iron, vampire survivor, halls of torment, tooth and tail, ori and the blind forest (both ori games), rdr2 and gta v.
You would be correct.
I really like Descenders if you like biking games.
Enter the Gungeon. I've had a blast playing that in short bursts on my deck.

Diablo 2 Resurrected and Diablo 4 have both seen more Steam Deck time than PC. Really nailed the controller scheme, and the graphics still decent for an 800p screen.
Maybe it is me but I find it tiresome that whenever you die you have to go through all those rooms to start again - is there a shortcut?
This provides story progression - by talking to all the residents. You can just run through three room and be in the action again.
