Simpsons: Hit & Run. It’s nostalgic and offers a surprising level of challenge. I usually do not finish it all the way though, because the missions get repetitive pretty quickly. The writing is pretty fun.
Recently, a guy on YouTube remade the game in Unreal Engine. It’s really fun to watch, but I am a bit sad that will never be able to try it myself.
Absolutely!
Btw, pro tip for all steam deck users (or controller users in general): Pick the GameCube version with an emulator. The graphics are a little bit worse, but the controller support is way better.
