Diablo 4 has been a blast and runs great on the Deck! Battery life isn’t all that great but it’s also a non-issue mostly as you need an active Internet connection to play anyway. So it’s not like I’d be playing on the go.

Alien Fireteam Elite! Runs very well on the Deck.
Love my Deck. Haven't been playing as much since I've been playing a lot of TOTK on Switch, but currently I'm finishing up P4G
Currently playing Jedi: Fallen Order and Stardew Valley. Good to have som casual gaming for casual times and some narrative AAA for when i have a bit more time on my hands :)
Currently playing through Ori and the Blind Forest on my Deck. It's like it was made for that form factor.
Fallout 4.
Two weeks ago I came across a Fallout 4 video on YouTube. It brought back memories! I am a grown ass man now and don't have time sitting in front of a PC or console all day, so I bought a second hand Steam Deck for the job.
How well do the controls work in fallout 4? I’m interested in playing it, but I can’t recall if it’s verified on the deck yet.
Loving System Shock remake on the Deck right now. Just freaking fantastic.
Nothing at the moment on the Steam Deck, still working my way through Tears of the Kingdom on Switch.
Before TOTK I was going back and forth between the recent Sackboy: A Big Adventure port and Pedestrian. Before that I played through the Spider-Man and Miles Morales ports as well.
Not to mention all the various emulation I've setup and been experimenting with, I can't even remember all the games I was testing out there, dozens of them!
I am absolutely ravishing skyrim with mods on my steam deck right now. I'm playing a destruction mage, and half the time when im attacking I say "and so I started blastin" to myself. I play Vampire Survivors often, dead cells, subnautica, No Mans Sky, etc. Might give elden ring another try since I've been enjoying more difficulty in games.
Just recently finished Eastward. Really nice little action RPG. Felt a bit lengthy with about 30h for me, especially the dialogues. However, great gameplay with good story and nice pixel art. Difficulty feels just right - generally not too hard, but sometimes challenging.
Wow, I'm loving Eastward's art - gorgeous!
Don't have the steam deck, but I enjoyed Eastward on my Switch. TBH, I haven't finished it yet, but I enjoyed the 20-ish hours I've played so far.
I use my deck daily. Anything that is super intensive I actually just stream from my PC upstairs to my deck / or TV downstairs using the deck. For native games I am currently playing Diablo IV, Eastward, and about to start XCOM 2 after finishing the first game entirely on deck earlier this year.
I used to, does that count? I'm still an avid linux gamer, but mine was just sitting unused compared to my desktop before I decided to sell. Either way, currently playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on Yuzu. Hasn't been exactly smooth sailing but overall it's been pretty good. The main issues are the emu being so new (bugs) and not having an idea what mods and settings are best for my particular hardware, and TBH steamdeck is great in this area since they're all the same platform aside the storage.
Been slowly working my way through Shadow of War, between probably a bit too much Against the Storm, Surviving Mars, Stellaris, and Timberborn.
