Last recommendation if you really love game soundtracks/ost Play with the headset You would be surprised on some of the moments that you'd see in this game that has an enhanced quality just with the headset!

First of all, the Sonic Generations port fixed all the performance issues on the Steam Deck without needing mods, which is nice.
