When I hacked mine I was surprised with how good Android was on it. The build of LineageOS they make for it is absolutely flawless when it comes to input lag. I thought lag was an unavoidable reality of Android but this proved it wrong. So much so that I started getting into some online Android games like Call of Duty because of how well it played.
Then installing parsec on it made it an excellent streaming device.
If we're talking strictly Horizon (Switch's OS) then:
1) Mods. So many mods:
-The Witcher 3 without the shitty temporal anti-aliasing
-Link's Awakening with stutter fixes.
-BOTW with higher item durability to make it less annoying to play.
-Tons of Mario Odyssey mods
and the GOAT:
-Super Smash Bros. HDR (it's to Ultimate what Project M was for Brawl).
2) Emulators:
Mainly Retroarch which handles everything up to Dreamcast pretty well (it has its own CPU overclock settings that are pretty much free) but there are other emulators too (I think DS games played well with a build of MelonDS).
I especially enjoyed the hacked NSO emulators that contained entire pre-compiled libraries of popular romhacks I would've never discovered otherwise.
3) Android:
Already mentioned above but even with its crappy touchscreen resolution it makes for a really good Android tablet (at least for games due to it's fantastic responsiveness).
So all in all I'd say if you don't NEED to play online (via the official means at least) then it's totally worth it!
