70/100

The Netflix Game Controller is a fascinating utility that marks a major step in Netflix's gaming ambitions. It effectively turns your smartphone into a dedicated gamepad for your TV or browser, bridging the gap between mobile and big-screen gaming. The setup is remarkably simple, and once connected, the latency is surprisingly low, making it a viable option for most of the titles in the Netflix library.

While still in beta, the app shows immense promise. The interface is clean and mirrors a standard controller layout, which feels natural in the hand. It doesn't replace a dedicated Pro Controller for high-intensity action, but for the platformers and narrative games like 'Storyteller' or 'Oxenfree', it’s a brilliant solution. It’s a great way for families to jump into games without needing extra hardware, and as the library expands, this tool will likely become an essential part of the Netflix ecosystem.
