Analysis — Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the Steam Machine
Sonic 3 & Knuckles has no SteamOS rating yet. A similar game we do rate, Sonic CD, lands green on the Steam Machine — a reasonable first guide until this one gets its own verdict.
Steam lists only partial controller support — some menus or modes may still want a mouse, and Steam Input's community layouts are the first thing to try.
