I do a surprisingly large amount of my gaming on the steam deck these days. My poor PC lies abandoned. Anyway... here are some great games that I've played recently on the deck. Some of them are Yellow - usually to use the keyboard for something minor.

Dead Cells: Roguelite action platformer
Tekken 8: best entry in years
Beneath Oresa: wildly stylish roguelite deck-builder
Roguebook: another roguelite deck builder - by Richard Garfield.
Talos Principle 2: Puzzles and Philosophy
Chants of Sennar: explore a mysterious tower and learn the languages - and lost history - of the inhabitants.
Doom & Doom Eternal: you know these
Tunic: Zelda Classic - but with deep puzzles
Inscryption: deck-building horror puzzler... that is soooo much deeper than what it seems.

A final, hesitant recommendation for

Dome Keeper: Roguelike Mr. Driller meets Paratrooper, with a tight one-more-run game play loop that is insanely satisfying.

But.. the menus don't work right for me in docked play - the A button is only randomly accepted. ... but it works fine in handheld mode. (The controls work fine in-game as well, it's only menus that have trouble.)

@swordsmanluke @steamdeck Having a gaming PC in the house is still useful for me. I use it to remote play games that don’t run great on the steam deck or eat too much battery. Like Starfield or Baldurs gate 3. Only issue is there is currently a gamma bug in remote play making everything dark. I hope valve fixes it soon.
