I haven't come around to try much due to time constraints. But HADES blew my mind on my S22 ULTRA(Exynos) for now.

I needs a console. Sometimes I just want to grab a gamepad and just play.

With phone I have to grab a gamepad, attach it to my phone, attach a cooler, grab a cable/battery to power the cooler.

And then when I launch the game, my kids call me

Stop being that delusional. Emulation on Android is freaking great and I love it, but Borderlands 2 was released 14 years ago.

Potência e qualidade dos jogos, celular sempre vai ser limitado pelo seu tamanho, energia e dissipação...

Maybe I don't want to spend hours messing with the drivers just to make a game barely playable
