I'm happy to see the push for this kind of anti-features.

My personal suggestion: 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 an online connection on startup to check your account status.

Into the breach is great. Sort of like sudoku with giant killer robots with wierdly specific combinations of abilities. It's not only available on netflix for people who want to try it. I bought it on Steam.


They are not free when they need a monthly subscription.


Just an FYI, all of those google play links are 404s. Seems HN cut off the query parameter after "netflix.NG" :)


Thanks, it's fixed! It was my own fault, I edited part of my comment by copying it back into the text box.


The mobile version of Into the Breach is really good. I played it even longer than the desktop version.


Please submit all these games, I've tried some of them too and agree that they're great.
