Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port? (kbin.run)

I’m putting a lot of my old games on my steam deck by buying their PC ports whenever they go on sale.

It got me wondering, is anyone aware of games where it’s actually better to run the console version through an emulator than play the native PC version?

Silent Hill 2 is a special case. They lost the source code and original asset library for the game, so it's a remake using assets ripped from the PS2 release copy.

A very, very poorly done and buggy remake that was also underfunded and rushed out the door.

Thanks for jogging my memory! I completely forgot about that core fact 😓.
