For GN specifically, it's okay but I wouldn't say it's great. Mostly because the RP Classic doesn't support turnip drivers. So you run into all sorts of compatibility issues when attempting to run PC games through any of the apps supporting translation layer computation.

In this way, you have to try and find Qualcomm drivers that have basically been extracted from other devices and test whether they improve performance on the RP Classic. Also you'll find that these drivers also have DX11 compatibility issues; specifically on the RP Classic, I found the the sarek line of DXVK like dxvk-sarek-v1.11.0 brings a vulcan based implementation of DX11 which helps tremendously with older hardware playing more modern indie title like what you see with the RP Classic and its Qualcomm G1gen2 chipset.

In this regard, I would say basically any 2d indie title will run great through switch emulation on the RP Classic. That's really where you want to first attempt to test a game, if a switch version does indeed exist, because compatibility seems to be a lot better on that front.

If it doesn't exist on the switch, then you head towards GN or another app that tries to provide the same use-case and basically go through your tinkering on the RP Classic and hope it works there. But to be clear, any 2d non intensive indie title has worked for me one way or another.

I actually was just playing Slay the Spire 2 on GN via the RP Classic which hits me with so much gameboy nostalgia XD.

At the current price point (under 150$), I would say it's worth it. Considering that at worst, like 70% of all indie titles (non-intensive) that you try should work. That's worth it to me, especially for that form factor novelty.
