my experience with it was also kind of a rollercoaster, but libreELEC on x64 harware with some basic IGPU was the key for me.
I tried it on Raspberry Pis (OG and 3) but that surely was painful.
since using a nornal PC, I really have no issues with compatibility, even the most obscure, sonewhat recently updated plugins work no problem.
but I can feel you, it needed several chances from me too, but I needed to replace my PS3 (uaing Movian - what an amazing piece of software!) cause it had issues with some recent fullhd files.
as a kid, I was the responsible for having the classroom’s key in breaks for a while.
and deep down I always had an irresistable urge to throw that key out the window, to the road outside. never did… but… it was soooo tempting. no idea, why, though 😅
as much I love the genre, but most single player 3D action/adventure platformer games that are based around a story OR fully arcade-y.
both aspect looses their point if you 100% the game.
Like, I just finished New Super Lucky’s Tale, and though it was an excellent 3d platformer, I don’t think I’ll start a new game.
but not only 3D games. Like Shovel Knight also falls into this category. Amazing and exciting game, but other than a harder difficulty (as New Game+), it doesn’t really have too much of a replayability.
