Quoting: elmapulno game developer considered an future where an steam deck would be a thing
Not a Steam Deck issue.

F.E.A.R.'s texts are generally really small with any modern screen. Reus is bad as well.

It does not have to be too small, too large is bad as well.

Quoting: KimyrielleIn my own experience, most of the time when I find a "Verified" game to be less than playable is when the testers apply a very loose definition of "legible text".
Exactly. I've probably repeated this too many times, but it's so important: If the game has text that is supposed to be read (so anything but press [e] to use) it's a good idea to make the size changeable by the user.

Good example: The Talos Principle.
Bad examples: F.E.A.R. and Sleeping Dogs.

I've cleaned parts of the garden – mostly the strawberry and the raspberry regions. Some of the herbs on the balcony are ready, others (mostly basil and two kinds of parsley) are in preparation.

Quoting: whizseI think I already have at least half on that list.
Same over here. Most of the games fit into two categories: games I have and games that I don't want.

Quoting: EikeModern games are usually GPU or CPU limited on a given system
Can you have good frame timing if you hit the limit on the GPU/CPU?

Quoting: EikeIf there's enough useful stuff to compute, it should take 100% CPU.
Correct me if I'm wrong. My take is: If the frame rate is locked, there is a high probability that it should be < 100% load.
