Some games I'd rather play on PC for various reasons (immersion, control scheme, etc), but then some games felt just right to play on the Deck, Blasphemous, Pentiment, Citizen Sleeper...

I'm looking for more games like that, ideally 20-30 hours to complete, easy to pick up and put down, and good performance

Well, any 2D indie game with controller support is perfect for the deck: (Like the hollow Knight series, or Hades).

Got Hi-Fi Rush on sale. And the inputs feel much better than on my PC (I blame my Bluetooth controller).

Want something with a classic feel (other than emulators)? "Heretic + Hexen" (for some doom-like action) and the Soul Reaver remaster play really well (and I got that one on GoG).

I have more, but those are the ones I play exclusively on my deck, now.

Were Heretic and Hexen remastered? I'll get them if so. Heretic was the first game I played multiplayer on a PC, before we even had Internet. My friend hosted a game across town and I dialed into his PC with a modem. Blew our parents' minds.

Yes! They just shadow-dropped the remaster out of the blue. I got it for free since I owned the old versions of both games on steam.

I just need to convince my friends to play with me xD
