I've been playing System Shock 2, the original version i got from GOG (it took a bit to make the controls work but it works fine, though i found a weird bug with non-Steam games in that if you rename the game it loses the control settings - e.g. i set up the controls when the icon was named "SS2.exe" but when i renamed it to "System Shock 2" later it lost the settings until i renamed it back to "SS2.exe" :-P).
I also played a bit of Stranger of Sword City, a turn-based and grid-based blobber. I find the deck works fine with such games.
Also both games play just fine at ~5Watt settings (i like to optimize the settings per-game to get more battery life out of the system).
I love my SteamDeck! I've been playing ToTK on it lately, and before that was Hi-Fi Rush.
Diablo IV, Assassin's Creed Origins, Caves of Qud, No Man's Sky. Also a bit of roguelites like Isaac, Dead Cells, Vampire Survivors, and Brotato.
I'll probably try Zelda TOTK again soonish, because I wasn't able to get it to run correctly (or sometimes even at all. Reading the comments here, it looks like it improved.

I've been playing Diablo 4 as well as modded Minecraft with my wife lately. I have tears of the kingdom installed to play next. Diablo and Minecraft run surprisingly well with little/no additional tinkering once the initial set up is done
Lots of emulated games, mostly. Retrodeck is kinda jank but when you figure it out it's such a convenient way of using most emulators you'll need.

Trying to work through my backlog. I've just started A Hat In Time and enjoying it so far.
HiFi rush and Dinkum (coop w/ the fam).
I started Hi-Fi rush on the PC but moved to the deck and it was a great experience. I had to fiddle a bit with video settings but otherwise I enjoyed it a lot.
I'm playing Hi-Fi rush as well. Nice to see a decent xbox game for the first time in what feels like forever.
Me! Currently playing graveyard keeper and Subnautica. Though I'm hanging on to the hopes that totk emulation will improve soon so I can play at a stable frame rate

I'm trying to finish Yakuza 0. But christ this game is long. If the rest of the series is this bad I might have to pass on it. Great game but just...too much of everything.
Give Judgment and Lost Judgment a try. Same universe as Yakuza, different characters (detectives rather than yakuzas), better controls, and just as good of a story... and strangely not that long compared! I finished mine between 40-50 hours with each (with a lot of minigames in it). Plus, they're pretty stand-alone!

At the minute I'm playing Botw via cemu , warframe, Mario kart 8 via cemu, deus ex MD and just finished my second play through of portal 2. I still need to finish new super Mario bros 2 on citra
Next I want to get into metal gear solid 5 . I'm also looking forward to when Xenia improves as the 360 had some great games before it red ringed (press F to pay respects)
I'm mostly distracted away from my Steam Deck by Tears of the Kingdom right now. One thing I love about the Steam Deck is the controls—I'm an avid Steam Controller user, as well. Because of that, I actually like playing stuff "more suited" to my desktop, thanks to the Steam Deck's superior controls. Elden Ring, for example.
Lately I've been playing Descenders: It's been a lot of fun and runs great! It's a procedurally generated cycling/BMX game.
I 100% Vampire Survivors and am currently playing through one of the first games I ever owned, FIFA 07. It sometimes feels like I am a child again sitting in front of the CRT-TV trying to shoot goals from the center-line. Good memories there
Is there a trick to play that one on Steam Deck? At the end of a level it tends to slow down for me, giving me about 1 fps. Others have mentioned playing it, so I wonder if there is something that can be done.
Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, Time Wasters, Diablo 4, Cult of the Lamb. I prefer 2D games, the controls are a lot easier - I'm not used to controllers :) I also have to finish Octopath Traveller so I can play the sequel.
I pre-ordered the Deck way back on day 1 with the expectation that it would be a good emulation handheld, non-demanding indies, and Civ VI device, and that any modern gaming it ends up doing besides that would be gravy.
Proton turned out to be far more compatible than I ever imagined.
Still, I mostly do emulation, indies, and low-graphic strategy games, because anything with serious visuals, I don't want to play on handheld. But it is great to be able to continue whatever strategy or RPG savegame I've got going when I travel.

Mostly emulation. As a day 1 Dreamcast owner, the Dreamcast emulation has been mindblowing.
Most of the A-list games I prefer on console, so I don't bother with them on Steam.
Dead Cells, and it's fantastic. It feels like the Steamdeck is made for platformers.
Curse of the dead gods (currently on HB), I thought Hades is a bit boring and too button mash-y. The stamina system solves this pretty well. So far loving it
