Moss: The Forgotten Relic makes the transition from VR well. Simple, yet interesting puzzles and combat, and great performance on Steam Deck.
Moonlight Peaks oozes charm with its magical world, great characters, and solid farming sim fundamentals, although it is a little old fashioned. It runs well on the Steam Deck.
33 Immortals is an interesting concept that feels like an ARPG with minimal progression, environments, and content. And performance on the Steam Deck is sub-par.
Dead or Alive 6: Last Round doesn't overhaul the game as much as we would like, but the solid mechanics, sheer amount of offline content, and great Steam Deck performance make this one of the best fighters to take on the go.
ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies is a buggy yet captivating spy CRPG that may struggle to live up to the excellent expectations of ZA/UM's first game, but is still worth checking out. The game is playable on the Steam Deck, but technical issues hold it back for now.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales has a lot of great ideas and a wonderful story, but the basic combat and minor issues here and there hold it back from greatness.
Gothic 1 Remake is exactly the kind of RPG I wish we saw more often, with a punishing world, little hand-holding, and an incredible sense of adventure. However, it won't be enjoyable on the Steam Deck.
