If you enjoy hero shooters such as Overwatch and want something new to try, give Marvel Rivals a try. I'm not much of a Marvel fan but I have over 1000 hours in OW. Gameplay is very reminiscent of OW but with some nice changes, including moves that are only available if you have certain character pairings on your team. I haven't gotten to try all the characters yet, but the ones I've tried had a nice variety of moves. Playing healer characters in this game is more fun than in other similar games I've tried. All of the heroes are unlocked immediately so there's no grind or pay-to-win mechanics around unlocking the best characters. All of the monetization is just for cosmetics, and honestly the default skins look great.

Best thing, Marvel Rivals works flawlessly on Linux using Proton Experimental. No issues with anti-cheat compatibility and everything plays well after tweaking graphics settings on my Arch Linux PC. I believe it should also work on the Steam Deck but I haven't tried yet.
