Best Netflix mobile games to start with
Now that you know how to download and install Netflix’s mobile games, it’s time to choose the best titles to play. We’ve put together a list of recommended games to get you started.
Asphalt Xtreme
Asphalt Xtreme and Teeter (Up) were neck-to-neck as the two top downloaded games in February 2022. These two titles still hold up well today, making either a great choice as your first download. However, Asphalt Xtreme edges out on top for our primary recommendation, thanks to impressive graphics and tight racing controls, with loads of customization for your wheels. It’s a stellar title to see what Netflix Games is all about.
Into the Dead 2: Unleashed
The highly anticipated Into the Dead 2: Unleashed is a top recommendation, especially if you’re in the market for a zombie shooter. The action-packed run-and-gun gameplay will surely keep you on your toes. Story events and daily challenges also add a layer to any zombie hoard slaying sessions, ensuring the game doesn’t grow stale. We recommend this title for experienced mobile gamers looking for a traditional shooter experience.
This is a True Story
If you’re more into casual games, we recommend This is a True Story. It’s a narrative-based puzzle game that features beautiful hand-painted landscapes that tell an original story based on actual events and interviews. The controls are intuitive, allowing you to focus more on the experience and story—perfect for a veteran Netflix binger.
Investing in Netflix games
It may be a long haul for Netflix to rival the gaming greats, but it appears the company is already making the right moves to ensure confidence in its service. Even if you’re not currently an Android gamer, you might find Netflix’s selection of mobile games an excellent place to get you started. So go ahead and load up your Netflix app to see what the company has to offer; you may be surprised by its gaming library.
