I've had periodic issues with upgrades across distro's. Lack of what software, I haven't had issues getting anything in Fedora aside from having to track down the repository.

Like everyone else, I use RPMFusion for the little extras including nVidia drivers. I've had good lick with their drivers. I also try not to mix repositories with similar packages. Negativo also has really nice nVidia drivers too. But I kinda like only having to install one repository for drivers. United RPMs also has some nice software not available from anywhere else, but most consider it a little risky to use their repository. I'm not sure why, but I've read it in quite a few forum posts. I use their repository to install certain packages but generally leave it disabled for updates.
As far as games go Steam works fine after installing steam.i686 from the RPMFusion repository. GOG titles generally work well when installed using their installers. Unreal Tournament 4 works great with the Linux build, if you have the muscle to run it. There is WINE for the occasional need of a Windows game. Fedora packages WINE-Staging with CSMT enabled for greater 3D performance. There are also a crap load of emulators available for the retro game fix. That is about all I game with under Fedora. Honestly, once set up it's not much different performance wise than most other Linux distros.
