For me, the ideal Deck games are ones that don't lose anything when scaling down to the small screen and APU.
I'll never understand people playing high visual fidelity games at 30fps on Low settings on Deck, if that person has a more powerful PC to play the game on.
Meanwhile, something like Civilization VI basically loses nothing when played on Deck.
Hades and Tunic both make sense to me as Deck game picks.

I did this with Cyberpunk 2077 despite having an RTX 2080 in my main PC. My reasoning was that I wanted to play from my couch. Now I could have just use the Steam cast feature to play it from my gaming PC, but I didn't see the point in mucking about with it (especially given that my house has terrible Wifi... I should fix this lol).
You're right, if you have the PC to play certain games on then the experience is definitely better, but it's still good to be able to play on the go, or, in my case, I have a 6 week old daughter and I can play the deck while she sleeps in my arms!
I really recommend Dredge! It only took me three days to beat it but it was fantastic. Fun little fishing game with great atmosphere
I just picked up octopath traveller 2, which seems like a good deck game. I've played a bunch of jrpgs on it.
I haven't actually played it yet though. Still in Diablo 4 (which runs fine on the deck, though it's annoying to install)
Outer wilds will be in the next humble choice bundle fyi
It’s actually Outer Worlds (Obsidian’s Fallout-ish game) and not Outer Wilds (solar system explorer game) that’s coming to this month’s Humble Choice.
