I've been playing RimWorld on my deck since I got it last August. Does it play other games? I have no idea.

I have been going through my back catalog: life is strange 1&2, firewatch, ace combat 7!
Firewatch is absolutely fantastic. I finished that game in one sitting. I could not put it down. Probably the best 'walking simulator' out there tbf.
Life is Strange is good too.
Risk of rain 2, and the divinity series off late.
Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen (hybrid tactical JRPG and visual novel)
And started Spiritfarer from last month's Humble Choice which certainly has "game as art" vibes with its beautiful animation.
Fallout New Vegas is great on the Deck.
I'm currently playing:
The Outer Worlds
Halo 2
Caslte Crashers
An NES Castlevania 2 hack
ETS 2
GOW and Stanelys Parable at the moment. Probably the spidermans next!
GoW is so good, I'm going play the Spidermans after I finish Horizon Zero Dawn
Finally got around to playing ni no kuni because of the steam deck (: not sure what’s next, thinking something less story focused like a roguelike
Honestly? A metric crapton of Tears of the Kingdom. I originally purchased the cartridge for the family's shared OLED switch, but I just like the higher fps + mods on my SD.
Before that, I was playing a fair bit of Hitman 3.
How well does emulated TotK run?
It's pretty much 30FPS on my switch, except some very rare occasions where it obviously drops below that. It does not bother me one bit, as it does not really affect the gameplay.
Fairly well. If I go unlimited FPS, I'll regularly be in the upper 40s/mid 50s (with some obvious drops during rapid transitions from overworld to the depths). Very vew visual bugs, most of which are fixed by leaving the area or by reloading a save.
I just added the extended zoani device duration mod (https://gamebanana.com/mods/443760) and now can fly pretty much anywhere.
