Can the Steam Deck play all Steam games?
Nope, not every game. The compatibility ranges from game to game. Some work like a charm, others... well, you get the 'charming' experience of troubleshooting until you give up or it kinda works.

From firsthand experience, a lot of the games I wanted to play worked great on the Steam Deck. But YMMV depending on what games you're into. Anything that's super mouse-heavy can be a bit of a pain though, not gonna lie.
The Steam Deck is pretty powerful for a handheld device, but not all Steam games are optimized to run on it. Most games can play just fine, but some might need settings adjustments for smoother gameplay. Plus, games that rely heavily on keyboard and mouse might be tricky to play unless they have a good controller support.
