Grezzo 2 on Steam Deck?
Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.

Roller coaster Tycoon 2 saves
I use ProtonUp-Qt to get different Proton versions. You can find it there. You could also manually install Lux. Then just select it from the Compatibility tools.

I tried to play wolfenstein but this happened
try using Luxtorpeda to install ECWolf to play it instead

GZDoom and Linux
There's a project called Luxtorpeda which acts as a compatibility layer in Steam but instead of running the game through Proton, it will download and run it with native engines and source ports. So if you enable it with classic Doom it will pop up with a dialog asking which port to play with (GZDoom, doomsday etc) and it will count towards your Steam play time, enable the Steam overlay etc. Keeps the engine up to date and works with lots of other games with open source ports too.

Which Modern Metroidvanias does this sub consider top tier?
Another Metroid 2 Remake.

I think it's fair to say that I no longer hate Metroid II Return of Samus. It was very fun with a pro controller and I now think I want to start speed running it.
Try out AM2R, the fan remake of Metroid II that was released a year before Samus Returns, sometime. IMO, it's the single best fan game ever made.

Favorite unsupported game on the deck
If I recall it has linux and even android builds. Best to check the AM2R subreddit.

I want some recommendations about the prequels of Metroid dread.
AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) - A fan remake that further refines Zero Mission's controls while largely staying faithful to the Original 2's layout.
- Skyline Emulator - Interesting enough I got this to work. My question is, Is how do I make it so the game isn't super fast playing? it's weird because, when I do a video recording ( Example here ) the speed is perfect for the game. lol. Any advice?

Best way to play Metroid AM2R on the Steam Deck and a cautionary tale about non steam linux builds for average users.
Our source code is public on GitHub with a few caveats/bugs due to the DMCA, but building on a user's own end just to play on the Deck is entirely unfeasible for several reasons:

I need your help!
I know that the community updates have fixed a lot of bugs and introduced some cool features and enhancements that you can read about elsewhere on this sub and on their Github and that the work is ongoing. But honestly, I had no issues when I played thru v1.1 on PC initially.
