PayPalHere's another wonderful selection of games to add to your Steam Deck, after looking over what has been recently Steam Deck Verified 
to give you hopefully the best experience. It's been a little while since the last one too, so maybe you've missed something great.
Each will list the ProtonDB rating or if they have a Native Linux version for players who wish to know.
Since they're Steam Deck Verified they should be download and play, with no fussing. Although that's not always the case, it's the official rating system from Valve.

"Blast, slice and shred through your enemies in this hardcore FPS inspired by the icons of the '90s, powered by the legendary Quake-1 Tech. Taking place in a realm left to rot, take up arms, unearth long-forgotten secrets and hunt down the Guardians of the Old World."
I will also give a potentially honourable shout out to Fallout 4, which is getting an update on April 25th that Bethesda say will bump it up to Steam Deck Verified. But that remains to be seen. You can also grab that in the current Fanatical Fallout Bundle.
So there's a good few more picks to get you going!

QuoteWhat have you been playing recently?I came back to Helldivers 2 this weekend after more than a month without playing, left it right before the release of the Cutting Edge warbond so I'm having fun trying all the new stuff and changes. I finished my first run of Fallout 1, I never got the patience to get to the point when your character is not that horrible or get used to the dated feel of it, until the TV show hype helped. I'm also playing Stardew Valley with mods to improve the vanilla gameplay without adding content.
Quoting: tamodoloI refuse to buy DENUVO games. It's too problematic and cannot be circunvented easely to prevent the game to give headaches. So I just will not buy a game that have DENUVO on PC. I'll preffer the console version for DENUVO games and with a large discount because these games DO NOT deserve money as they cause inconvenience and bad service.
Mostly agreed. I picked up a copy of Ghostwire: Tokyo as one of Epic's free offers. At one point I had to wait 24 hours to play it as I'd changed the wine version too often whilst configuring. I believe the Denuvo cancer has since been removed from this particular game.

Just started Touhou Luna Nights, great start so far, I think there's some lore I'm missing on but it doesn't seem to matter. I'm also playing Mirror's Edge and it's really fun, should be short too which I prefer so I should be close to finishing it. No one on the game's ProtonDB page seemed to have bothered to fix some of the technical issues so I'll try not to forget to do my part and share how I fixed those and post to the ProtonDB page. Before those two I was playing Alan Wake and found the game to be too boring so I flushed it, a shame as I do love Remedy's games.

Great list of games you posted, Liam. As of now, I've been playing Alan Wake Remastered through Geforce Now and once that's done, I'll either go back to Battlefield 1 to complete the war stories or jump into Alan Wake 2. Otherwise, it's back to the sea of installed games that I've forgotten about but need to complete before starting another round of backlog cleaning.
What a great time to play a library of games that'll last you for a long time and it's hard to resist new games that keep coming out every year. Poor wallet
QuoteWhat have you been playing recently?I've platinummed Horizon Zero Dawn and, since then, been cracking on with Full Void.
The little one's been playing Potions, Rota and Dead Cells.
QuoteWhat have you been playing recently?
I'm on a comedown from playing a boatload of first person shooters the past month. I replayed DOOM, DOOM 2, Quake, Quake 2, and Heretic last month, and finished DOOM 64 and Amid Evil for the first time this month. I was thoroughly impressed by DOOM 64. In tone it's much more akin to Quake than DOOM, but the gameplay very much feels like - as I've seen some say - the "true" DOOM 3. Amid Evil was rather great too, a couple of dud episodes, but I loved how much enemy variety there was.
I'm now playing Fallout 1 for the first time. I grew up with consoles so the CRPG genre as a whole is kinda foreign to me. To be frank, Baldur's Gate 3 is my first proper foray into that kind of game, but it's given me the confidence to give these older classics a chance.
