Most games built using the Godot engine run flawlessly on the Steam Deck. It’s much lighter in resource requirements than the likes of Unity or Unreal.
I love mine. Just depends on what you want. It’s an emulation powerhouse. It’s going to struggle with AAA games. Lower graphics and older games will work great, for the most part.
I’ve had one for a little under a year and I pretty much use it most days. Typically I’m playing more indie titles, but it’ll play most games at a playable frame rate with a bit of settings tweaking
I can’t recommend it enough. The compatibility rating on the steam game pages is pretty conservative but that’s a good indication on what you can expect to play. I installed emudeck recently so that opens up a lot of possibilities.
One. Hunnerd. Per. Cent. Luckily I have no life and a steamdeck so this wasn’t an issue for me.
How well does it run in the Deck?
Very well, in both game mode and if you plug into a 1080p monitor at a desk.

So far been running at a solid 720p60 even capped at 6 watts. No bugs that I’ve noticed.
How worth it is the steam deck at the current price point? Thinking of buying one.

Best value per buck you can get in gaming IMO. It’s super versatile, just works and all around brilliant machine. I use it as home desktop as well.
