Also any first timer tips are appreciated
Dave the diver, great fishing game.
Pick the genre you like and get started. I prefer the deck for short term bursts so I have all my roguelikes on it. Also bg3 for when the craving sets in.
Vampire Survivors is basically mandatory at this point.

Any roguelikes you like. Though my picks for games would be Vampire Survivors, Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, and risk of rain 2.
Do you have an existing Steam Library? Tons of games are verified on the deck. Anything with controller support is great.
If you haven’t played them: brotato, Hades, and Stardew Valley are all perfect on the deck, off the top of my head
Ive never been on the steam website, so no library. Controller support, will my nintendo switch pro controller work with the deck?
Whilst I’ve got no particular suggestions for it, I’d suggest taking a look at humble bundle, they do games bundles (and other book/asset bundles) at very good prices, normally focusing on a genre/publishes/studio/franchise. This is how a lot of people get going with steam and start to build a library of games, the bundles are often cheaper than the listed price of a single game.
It will, but he meant games that have control schemes designed for controller inputs, because that’s the easiest way to get started with the deck in handheld.
Steam input is extremely powerful and can be set up to make pretty much anything playable with the inputs the deck provides, but because the game won’t tell you the controls (and you might need to manually set it up), it’s more of an adjustment.
While I ignore “deck verified”, if you want to stay safe until you’re more comfortable, valve’s “great on deck” part of the store/library is pretty helpful.
My must haves would be
Enter The Gungeon - even if you aren’t great at it, the fact that it launches DIRECTLY into challenging gameplay means it works great on the go. You only need 4 minutes to get into the meat of enter the gungeon and I think in that way it is really elevated by being in mobile format.
Spelunky 2 - a modern classic, same point as above
Monster Train (my pick of the two) or Slay The Spire - ya knowww
Halls Of Torment - if you are into bullet heavens like vampire survivors
Idk hard to give recommendations without knowing more what you are into!
slay the spire brotato skyrim
I mean im a first time owner as well so take it with a grain of salt but I have played and enjoyed cyberpunk, starfield, baldurs gate, and harry potter.
My must haves so far, have been Celeste, timelie, crosscode, and one step from eden.
Thanks
