You know the drill - below I'll go through and individually list the expected compatibility on Steam Deck and Linux desktop, along with any ProtonDB rating and noting any Native Linux versions available. Plus each is a Steam link, so you can go see more info on each if you need to first.

If those interest you then check it out on Humble Bundle.

Note: Humble have this month closed their built-in partner program and moved over to the much less generous third-party service called Impact. So our links have changed, and we get far less now too. Remember that Patreon is the best way to support GamingOnLinux (and now more than ever!).

Additionally, Humble seem to now be including Deck Verified status and info pulled from ProtonDB on the bundle. Although they're conflating ProtonDB status with how a game will run on Steam Deck, like for The Last Stand: Aftermath they say underneath it has "ProtonDB Platinum Deck Support" despite Valve listing it as Unsupported (since ProtonDB covers desktop Linux too). Nice to see they're trying though.
