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.

Honestly I don't play any specific games more than others. I usually play them, beat them, move on.

Call of Juarez is a really fun and simple pick up and play game (I hate complicated games). Actually quite an ugly game, despite running at a locked 90/800p. I'm on my third playthrough now.

Adrift was a really visually and audibly beautiful game, but also kinda boring and frustrating (I still don't understand how to navigate even though I beat it yesterday). The price makes up for it.

I'll mention Neva and Planet of Lana in the same breath, as they are very very similar games, but both excellent, simple and beautiful. Frustratingly, they do not run at 90 FPS or 16:10. The puzzle aspect made Lana more fun but the battle aspect was way more fun in Neva.

My Friend Pedro is kind of a modern 2D Max Payne style game that I've got a lot of hours in.
