It's a big event, there's a lot of games to sift through - and so it can be quite confusing knowing what to grab. For my lists below, I'm sticking with games that are Steam Deck Verified - so that they'll work on any Linux / SteamOS system so you don't need to go hunting down compatibility. They're all highly rated too and none of them have AI disclosures.
