The single-player or co-op survival adventure where you've been shrunk, Grounded 2 has been Steam Deck Verified thanks to all the recent updates to it. It's currently in Early Access so it's not finished, and they just released a major upgrade for the game recently too.

It was previously rated Playable, but Valve re-tested and bumped it up to Verified on March 26th.

With the game update on March 24th, it added in a big new Playgrounds Mode. The developers described this new mode as: "With Playground Mode in Grounded 2, Brookhollow Park becomes more than a place to survive. It becomes your development sandbox. This new suite of tools gives players the power to build reactive encounters, scripted events, and entirely custom game modes inside the world of Grounded 2. Whether you’re designing a battle-ready arena, setting up situations that can surprise your friends with challenges, building a puzzle gauntlet, or experimenting with something completely unexpected, Playground Mode is designed to be both powerful and approachable".

The whole point of the mode is to experiment and do whatever the heck you want - sounds like fun. See their explainer video on it below:
