You've probably noticed it if you're an Android user: a new tab has appeared in the Netflix app. Neither dedicated to series nor films, it offers to download five new games to those who already have a paid plan with the platform. To be eligible, you must therefore subscribe for a minimum of 8.99 euros per month for the most affordable package (with standard image quality and a single user). No additional cost.
iPhones will also be compatible, but no release date has yet been specified in this regard. Patience…
Below is the list of the first five games available on Netflix Games.
Stranger Things: 1984
The first title, published by BonusXP, offers the following pitch:
“Take on thrilling missions with Hopper and the kids, from Hawkins to the Upside Down, in this retro adventure full of surprises. • Return to 1984. Discover an action adventure game that our heroes could have played in their time. • Explore Hawkins and surrounding areas. Find your favorite places such as Mirkwood Forest and Hawkins National Laboratory. Discover new places you've never seen before! • Solve puzzles using each character's unique abilities. Lucas can hit anything with his slingshot. This time Nancy has at her disposal an entire collection of bats. • Collect all the gophers and garden gnomes you find. You never know what they might unlock.”
Stranger Things 3: The Game
As with the first game, the theme here takes up the synopsis of the hit Netflix seriesStranger Things. Twelve characters are playable, and success already seems to be there since the work obtained an overall score of 4.2/5 just a few days after its release (from 345 reviews at the time of writing these lines) . The gameplay is quite different fromPuzzle Tales, of the same franchise.
Shooting Hoops
From Frosty Pops Studio. A trailer in the form of a short video is better than a long presentation text:
You will notice that the game was already available on the App Store. To date, however, it is no longer listed there, probably to avoid competing with the offer now included in Netflix.
Card Blast
Card game. To find out more,you can consult the rules (in English) right here, accompanied by first images.
Teeter (Up)
