I lately I’ve been playing elden ring since I got it on sale but before that I mostly used it to emulate a bunch of older titles. Love the consoles versatility

Thps3 and pikmin 3.
Although I'm likely to buy baldursg gate 3 in a couple days once I've heard how it holds up
Stardew Valley and Halls of Torment
Just finished Earthbound, now Mother 3.
Yakuza 0, and God of War as well.
Mother 3 is a bit different from Earthbound, I am not sure i would recommend it to everyone. Yakuza 0 is a great game though.

I got mine recently and have been playing a little bit of a lot of different stuff, but the thing I've put the most hours into has been Midnight Suns. I did not expect a Marvel game to my new favorite turn-based tactics deckbuilder, lol.
The stupid open world collectible part blows chunks, but the actual core gameplay is shockingly fun, if not perfectly tuned the way some deckbuilders are. The extremely weird lightweight high school dating sim / bioware relationship management aspect is very odd but produces some extremely funny interactions at times.
Days Gone. Looks good, runs well, fun game. Almost at 60 hours so far but end is in sight. Got a few in mind after I finish but not quite decided yet.
Cities Skylines cause I'm hyped for C:S2. Also started and finished Layers of Fear 2, great game!
Horizon Zero Dawn, Super Hexagon and Hollow Knight. I tend to play Hollow Knight more often because Horizon Zero Dawn really drains the battery.
Finished The Last of Us Part 1 today. Now working on my Animal Crossing island 🏝️
I just started Bioshock 2 Remastered. It runs surprisingly well.
Shadow of Mordor
I've been absolutely slamming Persona 5 Royal. I've ran into a couple odd hard freezes with the game, but I'm about 60 hours in at this point so it clearly hasn't stopped me.
Would absolutely recommend!
Nova Drift is a great asteroids rogue like.
Castlevania IV from the advance collection (and it's frustrating AF) trying to do all of the classic castlevanias but I may hang this one up and move on. I feel like I spend more time fighting the controls than the platforming.
About two hours into Chained Echos after finishing Cosmic Star Heroine. I always have to have a jrpg going.
High on Life!
I play way too much FFXIV on mine, but been playing Baba is You, FFIX, Muse Dash, Downwell, Powerwash Sim, Slime Rancher 2 as well... I'm stoked that it plays the Lies of P demo pretty well!
I'm currently playing Batman Arkam Knight after buying at a huge discount last week. It works flawlessly on Deck and it looks gorgeous even on the small screen, the game is also great fun; absolutely recommended!
Just finished up Diablo 4 and now I'm playing Dave the Diver.
Currently playing FFXIV and Pumpkin Jack. I'm also testing out Space Engineers. I'm surprised it works.
Skul The Hero Slayer Horizon Turbo Chase
Just finished Monster Sanctuary. Moving onto Super Robot Wars 30
The Last Epoch, Pacer and Legend Bowl.
Rise of the Triad, and always have a Civ VI game in flight
Rain World, gotta 100% the game.
Just finished Death Stranding. It's mostly great but somehow crashed a fair bit halfway through the game. No issues or whatsoever in early and late to end game.
I'm currently playing 7 Days to Die. I'm late to the game but with the new Alpha 21 update it runs pretty well on the Deck. I had to rework some of the bindings and set the loader to Vulkan compatibility but I'm getting a consistent 45 to 60 fps in all but the most crowded cities. Haven't gone past my 3rd horde night so I'm not sure how the masses are going to cripple the game. Having a lot of fun though.
I just beat and got 100% achievements in Ender Lilies. Solid metroidvania.
With the release of Book of Hours just around the corner, I dug out Cultist Simulator again. It runs well enough on the Steam Deck, but it needs mouse input (-> touchpads), and sometimes it flickers (this seems to be related to autosaves).
Overall it works well enough on the Deck so that it's fun to play. The flickering is annoying though.
Played again The Outer Worlds and DLCs a couple weeks and preferred the deck experience over my first play-through on the XBox. Currently playing High on Life and I'm not really convinced, way to linear and controls are... not really optimal.
All time favorite: No Man's Sky, Stardew Valley, Witcher3
It's been mostly Diablo 4 for me, but I'm also playing a ton of Picross via Yuzu. While I own these games on Switch, I really much more prefer the feel of Steam Deck in my hands.
Understandable, it was really hard going back to the switch when TotK came out.
The discomfort of playing on the tiny switch after getting used to the deck was what finally motivated me to hack my switch so I could legally get game roms and save files off of it.
Control, after finishing quantum break and Alan wake before.
Control is really good, I beat it earlier this year.
I have Alan Wake and Quantum Break in my library, going to try to play them later once I catch up on some other parts of my backlog.

Only just got my Deck. Still in the process of doing upgrades and mods. But while I have been testing my overclock and cooling mods and whatnot, I have put a few hours into Elden Ring and it's awesome on the Deck. The load times are insanely fast compared to my actual high-end gaming laptop. Looking forward to starting a new save on the Deck, after I have everything setup the way I want it. Waiting on a 2tb ssd to replace the 1tb that I just put in the a few days ago. Need to get that swap done before I can finish the cooling mod.
I've also put a couple of hours into the Demon Slayer game while testing. That game runs at a locked 60 fps, and plays amazingly.
