Best 2D, 2.5D, and Isometric games for Steam Deck

This list features the best 2D, 2.5D, and Isometric games for Steam Deck. It includes both popular titles and lesser-known indie gems for a total of over 120 games.

I believe the Steam Deck is perfect for 2D, 2.5D, and isometric games because it has no issues with performance, battery life is more than adequate even for traveling, and the Deck won’t overheat since these games can’t push it to its limits (most of them, at least).

Usually, such lists feature only the top 20 or 30 games available on the market. Instead, I have included every great release and indie gem from the past years, resulting in a selection of over 120 games.

To respect your time and get straight to the point, I have compiled a concise list of games without unnecessary explanations and pictures. Feel free to search the titles that catch your interest on Steam for more info.

I will update this list over time with new games. If you notice I am missing a great game, please contact me, and I will add it to the list as soon as possible.
