As a Netflix member, it’s free anyway, and the download experience is the best way to learn about these games. But if you are a gamer and want to register for a Netflix account based on these games, then take a look at our experience first.
For games, “Is it fun?” is basically the first question asked by players. After our actual experience, we can tell everyone responsibly that these five games are fun, but they are just “fun”. For Netflix That’s not enough.
The adventure begins, this is a new experience for movie fans
“Stranger Things: 1984” and “Stranger Things 3: The Game” are both supporting games of the American drama “Stranger Things”. If you are a fan of the series, you will recall the days of chasing drama when you open the game.
▲“Stranger Things: 1984”.
In “Stranger Things: 1984”, you will play Hopper and friends to complete various decryption tasks in Hawkins Lab and “Upside Down the World”. Here you can relive the plot and explore Hawkins Lab and the surrounding area of Hawkins Areas and dark dense forests.
And different characters have different skills, these skills will become your important helper in solving puzzles.
In terms of gameplay, I haven’t watched this American TV show. When I opened the game, I remembered the popular “Land of the Wind” a while ago. By exploring the decryption and simple battles, I can also experience the charm of pixel adventure games on the mobile terminal.
“Stranger Things 3: The Game” is similar to the former, and corresponds to the plot of the third season of “Stranger Things”. Just open the game and letmineFan colleagues can’t help but want to spoiler: “I know, they are going next…”
After more than ten minutes of experience, the fan colleagues made his evaluation: This is a very fan-oriented game. Although it is a pixelated style, the scene restoration is still in place. It is easy to recall the chasing drama at that time. Sometimes, when you go to an ice cream shop, you will think of the girl who came to rub ice cream. Although she helped a lot in the follow-up plot, she still wants to find her in the game for a while.
▲Can I taste the mint flavor?
Of course, he also said some things he was not satisfied with: although he missed it very much, this game seems to be just a cut version of the third season of “Monster Story”. If you haven’t watched the series, it is recommended to watch the series before playing. , But if you watch the episode, the game is less fresh.
Indeed, in the game, players will incarnate the characters in the third season of “Stranger Things”, break into the “upside-down world”, relive familiar scenes and plots in the game, and break out of the pixelated Hawkins town.
You can choose any of the 12 characters to operate, solve numerous mysteries, and fight the evil forces in “Upside Down the World”.
Compared with “Stranger Things: 1984”, the style of “Stranger Things 3: The Game” is more “three-dimensional”, but it is still a pixel-style role-playing game.
If you like this style of game, or a fan of “Stranger Things”, it is also a good choice to use this game to solve your hunger before the arrival of the fourth season.
Leisure time, these three games are worth a try
If you have a soft spot for games such as “2048” and “Flappy Bird”, then “Card Burst”, “A Ball” and “A Ball into the Soul” that are launched together with “Stranger Things” will surely make your heart beat.
The game rules of “Card Explosion” are very simple. Keep putting the cards below into the deck in the middle of the screen, and you can click to eliminate them when you get two, three, or other special forms. The more groups you get The higher the number.
But at the same time, there is a gear waiting for your card on the left side of the screen. If you don’t quickly put the card into the deck, the gear will destroy your card and cause the game to fail.
If you want to get high profits, then you have to bear the high risk that you may not have the right cards and cause the game to fail.
Just like “Mixing Fun” games, the difficulty of the game will gradually increase with your proficiency.
“Alice Ball” is a very patience-testing game. All you have to do is to slowly move the seesaw, while ensuring that the ball will not fall down and smoothly fall into the hole.
It sounds simple, but after experiencing it, I just want to sigh: “This game has a real physics engine.” The ball is really easy to fall off, and the rocker can only rise, not fall. If you use too much force, it will also cause the game to fail.
And as the difficulty increases, the position of the hole continues to improve, and there will be other holes to interfere. Every time I pass a level, I have a higher level of patience. I have to say that this game makes my mind quiet (crazy) a lot.
▲Oh…failed again.
As a person who has basically never touched basketball except in physical education, the moment the basketball hits the frame still makes me feel excited.Surging. In “One Goal to the Soul”, I can finally experience a different kind of basketball challenge.
The basketball in “One Goal to the Soul” is a little different. It may be that the pump is too touched to see the players on the court fighting and shooting, and it is integrated with the basketball, forming a strange combination.
What the player has to do is to see the direction, press the pump, and hit the basketball into the basket.
▲The basketball will fly in the opposite direction of the pump.
Each game provides 20 inflatable opportunities, so be careful when you play. In the collision of basketball with the ground and walls, it is not an easy task to accurately predict the position of the next basketball ejection.
In general, these three casual games are time-killing tools, and you will be addicted to them before you know it. Although the rules are simple, it takes a lot of effort to play well.
With the last word of “fun”, is that enough?
If I am a gamer, is the current game lineup worth it for me to open a Netflix membership? The answer is of course not worth it.
Looking at these games individually, they are all excellent products worth playing in their respective fields, but it is a bit shabby to regard them as “escort masterpieces” on a new game platform.
The limitation that Netflix paid members can play has already secretly marked the price for these “free” games.It’s more like an adjunct to video members, rather than attracting blue ocean users for NetflixEasy to handleLaw.
What’s more, even if the epidemic has overdrawn potential user growth to a certain extent, but the popularity of dramas such as “Squid Game”, in the third quarter of this year, Netflix still increased 4.38 million paying users, and revenue exceeded Wall Street expectations. .
Does Netflix really need games?
According to Netflix’s open letter to investors, games are just a new category developed by the company. Similar to original films, animations and dramas, they are also subscribed to by members. At the beginning of this plan, Netflix will target the mobile terminal with short cycles and quick results, and will adjust the plan according to the situation in the future.
The current games are just the beginning. Netflix’s goal is to build a game library to “provide fun for everyone.”
As early as in the story of “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch”, Netflix used the form of interactive movies to trigger a discussion on “Is it a movie or a game” across the Internet.So i lookLetter openThe extension game field must have gone through many internal discussions and simulation verifications. But Netflix, which officially released the game platform, reminds me of another company: Epic Games.
With the popularity of the concept of “Meta universe”, “Fortress Night”, which held a concert in the game, is regarded as a brand new attempt under the concept of meta universe. No one knows whether the meta universe is the future or not, but it allows users to have The sense of participation can never be wrong-since you can hold a concert in a virtual game, why can’t you build a “meta universe” that belongs to the fans for the episode?
▲For example… Enter the world of squid game?
Just like “Stranger Things 3: The Game”, it combines its video programs with games, restores or extends the content of the series in the game, and gives fans a full experience.Even use the game to interact with the drama series, so that the characters in the drama and the fans watching the movieTogetherIn the game (or in the meta-universe) to guide the plot advancement, this experience is just thinking about it and looking forward to it.
▲If I were the president at the time, I would definitely make FU the Secretary of State.
However, the imaginary future will not change the status quo. From today’s point of view, Netflix’s gaming journey will take a long time, and none of these games can reach the standard of “escort masterpiece”.
If you are not a Netflix member, these games are not worth opening a membership for it. But for Netflix members, these games are a “good and good” choice.
