Pretty much title, and looking for game recommendations. I'm hoping I can play Apex Legends and The Finals reasonably well on it. I'm out of cell service frequently so I'm looking for interesting games I can download. I'm mostly a FPS player but do third person for World of Warships on console.

Something you should know about PC gaming is that there are virtually infinite hardware configurations. And while most games you play will detect your hardware and apply default graphical and frame rate settings, and it'll be "fine", it's usually poorly optimized for highest stability, and with zero respect to battery life.

So, if you want to get higher quality and/or better battery life, you might want to learn how to optimize those.

Steam Deck gives you a nice configurable performance overlay to help.
