South of Midnight has high points of a pretty good narrative and a beautiful world, and low points of repetitive gameplay, particularly the combat. The game is fully playable on the Steam Deck.
The First Berserker: Khazan is a brutal, yet satisfying experience with fluid combat and a good skill system, plus it runs great on Steam Deck.
Sid Meier's Civilization VII is a good game at its core, but UI issues currently hold it back. It does run fantastically well on the Steam Deck.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a fantastic title for children, and adults will probably enjoy their time with it too. Plus it runs great on the Steam Deck.
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. has a solid combat system, marred by poor netcode in a primarily online game. It does run well on Steam Deck though.
Citizen Sleeper 2 didn't really hold my attention, but the game does run well on Steam Deck aside from a couple of issues.
