Since its release in October 2022, Persona 5 Royal has been one of the perfect Steam Deck games. Persona 5 Royal's design being very well suited for handheld play; combined with being a very well optimized PC Port overall. It's sequel / spin-off, Persona 5 Strikers, has not fared so well.

I’ve been playing through a game called Dave the Diver released on 28 Jun, 2023 from developer MINTROCKET.
