Games

Netflix has a great video game catalog, actually

As a long-time Netflix subscriber and someone who’s always on the lookout for new forms of entertainment, I’ve grown accustomed to the ebb and flow of the streaming landscape. But let me tell you, the addition of games to their roster has been a delightful surprise that I didn’t even know I needed.

Netflix-subscription services for movies and TV shows can give the impression of offering good value, but in reality, they may not provide the best deal for consumers. The aim is often to keep subscribers paying without giving much thought to how frequently or extensively they utilize the service. Instead of calculating whether it’s more economical to buy specific desired items outright or maintain access to a larger selection, the fear-of-missing-out (FOMO) business model can persuasively drain around $15-$20 from your budget each month.

I’ve had my fair share of long, tiring days where all I want to do is unwind and relax. Netflix has become a savior for me during such times, providing endless entertainment right at my fingertips. But let me tell you, it’s not just the streaming service itself that makes these moments tolerable; it’s the added thrill of playing free games on Netflix that truly makes me feel like I’m getting away with something.

“Discover Netflix’s Hidden Surprise: Interactive Games!”

The collection of games on Netflix is not large yet impressively good, particularly since they run smoothly on smartphones and tablets, which are typically the devices people use Netflix with. When it first debuted, the platform showcased popular titles like “Poinpy” and high-quality adaptations such as “Into the Breach.” More games have since joined this impressive lineup.

Explore “Storyteller” by Daniel Benmergui, an engaging puzzle game where you creatively rearrange characters, plots, and motives to construct unique comic strip tales. One of the standout titles from 2022, the captivating enigma named “The Case of the Golden Idol“. Delve into the iconic mayhem of “Sonic Mania” or the visually bizarre yet still entertainingly playable remastered versions of Grand Theft Auto.

You might not be aware that you can actually play the game “Immortality” directly on your laptop during “Emily in Paris.” That’s quite surprising!

As someone who has been an avid Netflix user for years, I’ve grown accustomed to the convenience and affordability of having access to a vast library of movies, TV shows, and documentaries at my fingertips. However, the recent announcement that Netflix plans to include games as part of its offerings has left me feeling rather skeptical.

Subscription services may trick you into thinking that current offerings will remain permanent. However, this is not a guaranteed promise. In fact, given the company we’re discussing, which pioneered the concept of limiting streaming catalogs, it would be prudent to expect that popular shows or movies you’ve been meaning to watch for ages might disappear before you get around to them. The same goes for games – if you have the chance, enjoy them right away.

Of course, you could also buy them too, and not have to worry about any of this.
