What retro games run well on Android and aren't too hard on your fingers? Top down is usually easiest for me but if anyone has some 3d recommendations that's cool too.

The real limitation is touchscreen controls, so go for turn based RPGs.

you can buy bluetooth controllers, plug in USB controllers, controllers that encase your phone, controllers that have a stand to hold your phone above it.

Seconding this recommendation

If you invest a few bucks in a decent controller that can connect to android and PC then it opens up a ton of options to you.

I know Bitdo does some popular controllers that seem to be in that sweet spot of decent quality and but I've never tried any of them.

I have a Gamesir T4 pro, which gets recognised as an Xbox controller on PC so it's good for steam games and it has all the features that make it an ideal all-rounder in my experience. It comes with a controller mount so you can attach a smartphone to it as well but I've never used it.
