it was a bit finicky but I got starlink to work using lutris and now it works fine in game mode
you will likely keep updating the game, adding content and fixing bugs
I find Townscaper really relaxing, there's no objective, just a toy to make cute looking towns. Haven't tested it on steam deck tho.
If you like building/puzzles there's Shapez (this one I tried on steam deck and it might take some time to get used to the controls), it's like factorio but abstract and without resource management, you just make machines that modify and combine shapes to create new ones, it get's progressively complicated, if it's your thing you'll find it quite addicting so be mindfull of that.
For sims there's Two Point Hospital, (Two Point Campus came out recently but I haven't tried it), Planet Coaster and Cities Skylines (if you're into the hard stuff)
Here are some more narrative driven games that I like:
- Life Is Strange: Graphic adventure with a cool twist and a compelling story
- Child of Light: Chill RPG in the style of a children's story
- Blacksad: Cool detective graphic adventure
- Both FAR games Lone Sails and Changing Tides: Puzzle platformer with a story told just with the environment, I recommend playing both one after the other in order
- SteamWorld Heist: Tactical RPG in a side 2D perspective with ricochet. I haven't played much of this one but it's very cool
- Gris: an interesting platformer with really nice looking animation
- A Short Hike: A cute adventure game about exploration
- Oxenfree: An interesting graphic adventure with a cool story
- Night In The Woods: Platformer adventure with an interesting story and great characters
what i see today is games are super accessible and everyone owns a portable gaming device, my parents are over 60 and they both play games on their phones, although they would't consider themselves gamers or anything close
i think the barrier to entry on core games gets higher with age so casual games on phones fit nicely within that demographic

on xcode i would say it has a 50% chance of working
