Try the Dualsense. If it works well for you, save the money and buy a game instead. If it doesn't, get an 8bitdo controller.
I gave up after ~2 hours, since I didn't enjoy driving around the world, but in that time it performed great on the Steam Deck.

Ori and the Will of the Wisp is a good metroidvania, with nice ambiance/music, but the story is a bit generic. It plays well on the Steam Deck, as I guess most metroidvanias do.
I replaced my broken Logitech F710 with a PS5 Controller.
The only advantages of the PS5 controller are gyro support, saving a USB port, and USB-C charging.
I'd stick with the Logitech F710.
- Ori and the Blind Forest, after recently completing WotW.
- GTA IV
- Stanley Parable: ultra deluxe. Loved the first one.
- The Beginner's Guide
Some local multiplayer games to play with my partner on the dock:
- It Takes Two
- Unravel 1 & 2
- ibb and obb
- Pummel Party
- Sonic All-Stars Racing
I also considered Hollow Knight and Dead Cells, but prefer to get games on GOG when available.
I'm keen to play a football game, e.g. FIFA.
FIFA 23 uses EA Play and thus doesn't work on Steam Deck (?). Older copies of FIFA are not sold anymore.
Does anyone play football games on Steam Deck that they could recommend?
