I'm curious what 'surprising' games people have played last year on their Deck.

Most likely the most played games matches the top 10 list from Steam but I'd like to hear also about those lesser known games that you enjoyed, got working (give hints for the rest of us) or just would like to recommend to us.

RetroArch

I am a huge emulation fan and on my Steam Deck I often tend to play games I do not on my big PC. Off course RetroArch itself is not a game and it supports many systems and games, therefore its a bit unfair to list it here. But I played Game Boy Color, SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis games, such as Wario Land 3 and Crusader of Centy (or Soleil). I play RetroArch on my PC too, so even then the most played "game" on Deck is RetroArch. This shows how much I like emulation.

South Park Stick of Truth

I had this game in my back catalog for many years and always wanted to play it. Well I did a few hours and never finished it. The game is alright and its presentation is really good matching the quality of the TV show. But I don't know, at some point I got a little bit bored by its gameplay and was stuck and could not progress.

The End.

Edit after the end: I want to say that this year I started to play more other games on my Deck again. In example I started Stardew Valley to see what is all about. This is the kind of game I play on my bed instead on my big pc desk. Its not 2024, but just wanted to mention that my focus changed this year. Please ask me this question in a year again. :D
