I love Steam Deck but it seems the majority of my library just isn’t fit for the poor thing. I’m looking to add some games to my list that are especially good on the Deck. Basically the problem I am having is a lot of games do run ok on the deck, but because of the not so great screen they look terrible, or in handheld they perform suboptimal as is to be expected.

Last year I got my system and started downloading some stuff but quickly realized most games are an eyesore and just not fun to play handheld. But then I bought Persona 5 Royal and played the life out of it. I think the reason is partly due to just how engrossing the story is and the visuals are heavily stylized so it doesn’t matter if it is handheld or not. I’m looking for more experiences like that.

Currently I have Disco Elysium that I think matches the criteria and wishlisted Persona 4 Golden, because while it is a bit dated it still mostly holds up, and Octopath Traveller 2. Heavy story games with stylized graphics. I’m also happily waiting for Persona 3 Reload next year. Any thoughts? Thanks!
