I'm curious what 'surprising' games people have played last year on their Deck.

Most likely the most played games matches the top 10 list from Steam but I'd like to hear also about those lesser known games that you enjoyed, got working (give hints for the rest of us) or just would like to recommend to us.

On my PC there were two surprisingly good games: Driftland: The Magic Revival and Hammerting.

Driftland is a really interesting kind of strategy and I quite enjoyed it. Hammerting would be really great if the devs weren't forced to cancel it by the publisher, as such it's unfinished and the game doesn't teach you pretty much anything, so the learning curve is steep. The game loop is fun at first, but gets repetitive (not surprising given it was cancelled).

On my deck I played mostly Palworld because it's great to play whether you have 30 minutes or 4 hours of time, which is kinda needed for me nowadays because I never know how much gaming time I'll have.
