I've played through the newer tomb raider games and they're great, same with horizon zero dawn and Control. Being able to turn on gyro aiming while a arrow is notched or your gun is raised makes those kinds of games really fun.

I was playing Control as well, but I haven't tried gyro aiming. I should figure it out.

It's so worth it, gyro aiming makes life so much better. Any game where you aim using the left trigger is perfect for it. You just set your gyro trigger to activate on trigger pull. Tuning it can be a bit tricky, and I found for Control specifically it didn't like mouse input from the gyro, I had to trial and error the aiming. Tomb raider had gyro aiming by default.

Hmm, I tried setting Gyro to mouse in the Steam Deck controller settings for Control, and wasn't too impressed. Might have done it wrong, may just take some time. It sounds like games that support gyro aiming in the in-game settings are better?

It definitely takes some tinkering to get it right. I'll go check what my settings are tomorrow morning when I wake up.
