Get Xbox Game Pass and play all the controller friendly games there
Most of the uplay subscription games also support controller
You can run most of the games either locally on the deck, streamed from your desktop, or streamed from the internet

I'm scared to even mention it - considering it can be very addictive, but have you checked out Vampire Survivors?

meras · Answer

All the games you mentioned are excellent! I find Hollow Knight and Celeste to be perfect handheld games.
