Hi. Been a while since I posted. Apologies if there's already a thread on this, but I can't work out how to search the forum anymore.

I've been looking at buying one of the PS Vita grips with the L2/R2 and L3/R3 additional controls for use with PS4 remote playing.
These range from the very expensive and illusive Hori brand ones, to the desirable Japanese alternative models, to finally the cheap Chinese variants which take a long time to arrive, if they ever do. The Chinese ones look alright, but I've been stung before with purchases.

I've instead decided to consider only playing certain games that don't require additional fingers to reach the top of the front and rear touch screen.

I imagine slower games would work well, but can anyone recommend PS4 games that they feel play well without finger gymnastics?
I'm hoping for current gen (or PS3 remaster) titles. I already have a number of classic PSX and PSP titles on the Vita memory card itself.

Is there a particular reason you want to use a vita? You can use android or PC for remote play with a proper DS4 hooked up.

@BigOrkWaaagh Funnily enough, I've been trying this today. My two Xiaomi phones don't work with a DS4 for some unknown reason, despite both being on the required android 10.
Luckily I kept an old Sony Xperia X and Sony seemingly look after their own, despite it being a 4 year old phone. It works well.

I've been looking into getting a phone screen magnifier for sitting in bed doing remote play though. I think that might be a good idea of any games which require accuracy or reading.
