See more like this: lon.tv/ww - I've known about Netflix games for awhile but dismissed them as mostly low quality mobile games. But as it turns out Netflix has put some effort into their games offering that's part of your existing subscription plan. This includes some ports of popular console titles, cross-platform save games and more. See my latest videos: lon.tv/latest and subscribe! lon.tv/s

    One of the best things about Netflix also is that they got rid of their lowest ad tier plans. I really wanted to give them more money and now I can.
  • @drsysop
    It sucks as no games on Roku, Windows, Mac & Linux & even the Windows app do not list games.
  • @kumarp3074
    I guess it's not possible but I'd like to play these games directly through the Netflix App rather than install each one.
  • @ericB3444
    Best game is snake on the Nokia 6160.
  • FMV movie games are the future. Netflix would be wise to dive in on the trend. I hear there's a few FMV games on there already.
  • @justinlang313
    The Netflix games are pretty fun. I tend to play the YouTube games more though simply because I’m usually on YouTube more. My favorite is the hide and seek game 😄
  • @beatleo28
    is there a way to play games on androit tv (nvidia shield tv)?
  • @asan1050

And it plays awesomely on my device , is kinda funny that this game is not available on my ps5 but it is on my phone , neat XD
  • @tboatrig
    I just want their Hades port to be on Android as well.
  • @KevinAdams06
    Don’t neglect playing Hades. It is included with Netflix.
  • @anon_y_mousse
    Interesting, but I've still got 2,000 items in my queue, so I probably won't get around to playing any of these games either.
  • @Pipsispite
    What’s cool about Netflix’ games in my opinion is that they recently added the GTA games ‘definitive edition’. You can sideload all of the iPad versions of the Netflix games on an Apple silicon Mac and the Netflix sign in continues to function. So you can play GTA 3 definitive edition on the Mac and continue with your save on the go with the iPad. Before I was trying to run Definitive edition GTA through crossover but this is much better. Not always happy about Netflix’ price increases but this is a nice add on for a subscription the family wouldn’t ever want me to get rid of :)
  • If they get better Games maybe worth it.... But for now it's not worth...
  • @UltimateBrownie
    Those games do stream though. You can play them on your tv with a firestick and whatnot.
  • @nickdiba7512
    Sorry to see you've fallen into the trap of the "blurred zoomed repeated background" out of terror of the black bars. If you think about it, that kind of backround is the same as echo (the same information repeated). You wouldn't put echo on your voice, now, would you? The net result of that background is that the sides of the pictures are competing for your attention, without saying anything useful .I tried to read the list of netflix games and couldn't because how distracting that crap is, and refused to cover the sides, because I don't think I am supposed to work to view a video. I've been watching your videos for a very long time, and never found anything that was not dictated by common sense, in the best sense of the expression. I understand the pressure of the professional content creator, but this time I really, really, really disagree with your choice. Not that my opinion matters, mind you, but I want that there is at least one voice saying "blurred zoomed repeated backgrounds" are crap!

    Name one original game made just for Netflix. I'll wait 😂
