Netflix are expanding their gaming catalogue. If you're wondering when Netflix started offering games, that's because the streamer does a pretty bad job informing subscribers that they have access to some of the best games ever made.
All you need is a subscription and a mobile device. There are already stacks of amazing games ready to play. However, recently announced, Netflix are bringing some genuine classics to their service in the form of Hades, Braid Anniversary Edition and Death's Door.
Netflix isn't just great TV, they offer a lot of great games too.
Netflix has over 80+ games available to play right now, including the recent release of Oxenfree 2. The introduction of Hades and Braid Anniversary Edition means that two of the greatest games of all-time will be free to play if you have a Netflix subscription. Both games were critically acclaimed at launch, scoring 10/10 and becoming Games of the Year for their respective years.
Death's Door, is a wonderful action game that crosses Zelda with Bloodborne and puts it all in a cartoon world. It's a great hack-and-slash title that many hold dear. There's no denying that with these three games you'll be experiencing some of the bet gaming has to offer, on top of everything else Netflix has included.

Hades alone is worth a subscription; it's probably the finest roguelike game to release since the original Spelunky. It has everything going for it - stunning animation, an addictive gameplay loop, humour by the bucketload, a brilliant soundtrack, and time investment that pays off with rewarding moments.
Braid, which released back in 2008, is a platforming puzzler that messes with time in a beautiful painterly world. It's fiendish in its challenge, but not so much that it becomes a frustration.
If you've got a Netflix subscription and a mobile device to play on, you should really give all three of these some time.
