Just about every game in the survivor / bullet heaven genre plays fine since the controls are normally so simple.<br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DeadCells" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeadCells</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RogueLegacy2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RogueLegacy2</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TrinityFusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrinityFusion</span></a>. There are tons of these metroidvania-rogueli[tk]e games that work great.<br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BaldursGate3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BaldursGate3</span></a> has a wonky controller interface, but that hasn't stopped me from putting in over 200 hours on my deck. The <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DivnityOriginalSinEnhancedEdition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DivnityOriginalSinEnhancedEdition</span></a> interface is much better even though it's the same developer. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DivinityOriginalSin2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DivinityOriginalSin2</span></a> works well, too.<br>If you like <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ARPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ARPG</span></a> games, I've played a few such as <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GrimDawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrimDawn</span></a> (which works but does not have official support), <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/VictorVran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VictorVran</span></a>. I tried <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DungeonSiegeIII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DungeonSiegeIII</span></a> which was a disaster (it also didn't play well on the deck).<br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ElderScrollsOnline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElderScrollsOnline</span></a> works surprisingly well once you get it fully installed and configured. It's the only MMO I can play on my deck.<br>I put about 20 hours into <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Tyranny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tyranny</span></a> when I first bought my deck in late 2022.</p><p>Edit:<br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Warframe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Warframe</span></a> should be another MMO that works on the deck, but I haven't played it in a few years so I haven't tried.</p>
