It’s not too bad on the normal difficulty. I did have to take it a little slow so as to not lose the wind but after i figured that out it was easy for me
Solid list! I am glad someone else recommended Dragon Quest 8 as it’s god tier good.
I like Dark Cloud 2 more than the original myself. It’s completely separate from the original and feels like an improvement on the concepts of the first.
SSX Tricky, and any of the NBA or NFL Street games, they’re all gas, no brakes. If you can get someone else to play two player (don’t know how well that works on steam deck emulation), check out Cookies & Cream. It’s one of the more clever two player co-op puzzle games, and it’s one of the first games my wife and I played together when we were first dating.
You already have an insanely good library. You could probably play for the rest of the year on those games alone. In addition to what you have here, I’d recommend:
Alien Hominid
Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance
Burnout series
Def Jam: Fight for NY
Destroy All Humans 1 & 2
Devil May Cry
Godfather, The
GTA Vice City Stories & Liberty City Stories (NOT ON PC)
GUN
Hitman: Blood Money
Jak & Daxter series
Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Need For Speed Underground & Hot Pursuit series
Onimusha: Warlords
Psychonauts
Ratchet & Clank Series
Rayman 2
Resident Evil 4
Red Dead Revolver
Sly Cooper 1 & 3 (1 & 3 are probably my favs)
Shadow of the Colossus
Silent Hill 2 & 3
Simpsons Hit & Run
SoulCalibur II
Spider-Man 2 (phenomenal free roam)
Star Wars Battlefront I & II
Super Monkey Ball Deluxe
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3
Twisted Metal: Black
FWIW, the original PS2 versions of the GTA games that are also on PC are actually better because they removed content as licenses expired. Unless you have the downgraded PC versions - in which case, godspeed.
Even then, I usually stick with PS2 as PC doesn’t have support for the analog face buttons that the PS2 had. I don’t know if you can emulate that on Steam Deck, but if you play PS2 GTA San Andreas with an OEM controller, pressing the button harder actually does make you go faster. It’s magic, and I find it hard to play without now. 😅
I look forward to seeing how the Deck holds up with some of these titles! I’ll admit, I’ve been thinking about getting it to use as a portable PS2 myself.

There’s no issue with PS2 games! I raise the resolution up to 3x native (I think? Whichever one is 1080, anyway), and also apply HD texture packs. There’s not one issue I’ve come across on a PS2 game so far. And setting RetroDECK up to play them is a breeze!
Do it!
I’ve already got Spider-Man 2 on there (others also recommended it), but reading through your list, these all look wonderful! I didn’t actually know the ‘Stories’ games on PS2 for GTA didn’t end up on PC, thanks for that tip!
If you can emulate PSP games with ease, check out GTA Chinatown Wars. I just wanted to see how the game played one evening, and I ended up beating it in a couple days.
It has a drug dealing mechanic, and you have to crash cop cars to lose stars. Extremely unique and fun GTA.
I haven’t read into RetroDECK, is it an emulator frontend?
