Blossom Tales 2: The Minotaur Prince is a new Native Linux release from Castle Pixel and Playtonic Friends. It hasn't been Steam Deck Verified yet but works great. This is yet another title that developer Ethan Lee helped to bring to Linux (like the recent Axiom Verge 2), with it powered by FNA so you can expect a quality port.
A classic and very colourful action-adventure, following on from the 2017 indie hit. However, you don't need to know anything from the first game as it's fully standalone and set hundreds of years later.

The game works great on Steam Deck and will no doubt get a Verified rating whenever Valve get to it. Here's some footage from my Steam Deck:

Bought that on sale and have been playing it on my Steam Deck. Works perfectly but takes a long time to start, just be patience and it will start.
Completed the first dungeon and having a blast!
