Netflix Games[1] have higher quality than usual and no ads, no in-app purchases, and no predatory tactics (in the games I tried). Bonus points for being all free if you already have a Netflix account.

I can vouch for Poinpy[2], Laya's Horizon[3], Lucky Luna[4], and Skies of Chaos[5]. I haven't tried the mobile ports, but the desktop versions were very good: Into the Breach[6], World of Good[7], and Kentucky Route Zero[8].

The downside is that some Netflix'ied games seem to be buggy, and it requires online connection on startup to check your account status.

I haved loved Netflix games. Stranger Things original game was absolutely amazing!

Unfortunately they've made them require a netflix subscription, and to enforce that they require online play. I play a lot when I'm on airplanes or in the mountains and don't have service, so this is a major downside to me.

If anything from netflix games is reading, please figure out a way to do like a "re-check every 30 days" kind of thing.


Into the Breach is also amazing. Can’t believe they offer it as part of your subscription, I have it for switch too.


World of goo is excellent. My daughters play it sometime, and I hope it may led them to be structure engineer...


Whilst true, you askari HAVE to have a Netflix account. You cannot just buy the game.
