Still Wakes the Deep has some performance issues on the Steam Deck, it's unable to hold 30 FPS throughout, but its saving grace is the fact that it's the kind of game that doesn't need 30 FPS throughout. It controls beautifully though, and I would still regard the game as playable.
Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is a phenomenal and beautiful metroidvania that is a must have to play on the Steam Deck.
