Anything that's an FPS, like Deep Rock Galactic or Borderlands, or any game that requires a mouse, like Little Inferno or Machinarium. Usually it's a combo of left stick and R pad + gyro.

I also use a combination of stick and L pad for Helldivers, with the pad being set up as a Dpad.

Interesting. Had not thought of it for FPS

It becomes your mouse. Making quick turns or precise aims is a lot easier with the pad and gyro.

I bought a Steam Controller years ago for that same purpose, and it makes a world of difference.

It has a little learning curve, so don't give up if it feels a little wonky at first. I also recommend adjusting the vertical friction (I turn mine all the way up) to make turning around a lot easier.
