What are some good indies that play fine on the Steam Deck? I'd like to use it more but don't own many games that are compatible and have "comfortable", smooth controls. I tried to play some of my favorite games on the Deck and figuring out the controls broke my brain.
Vampire survivors and all the other games in the "bullet heaven" genre play great. Stardew and every farming style top of game plays great. Some deck builders play great. Action games like hollow knight and Steamworld games. Lots of options.
Art of Rally, Nova Drift, Shovel Knight, Celeste, Stanley Parable, Hollow Knight, Project Wingman, Tunic, Katana Zero, Stardew Valley, Vampire Survivors.
I've found racing games, walking simulators, and retro style games tend to work well since they are usually designed with controllers in mind. Surprisingly a lot of point and click games work quite well with the track pads.
