Say what you will, and I agree, but Civ VI on the phone is awesome. And since I'm paying for the subscription anyways it's kinda nice

I agree civ6 is awesome on a phone.

However, if you own the game on Steam, you could have been playing it on your phone long before Netflix ever opened their games division with Steam Link.

Civ6 is literally the only game I actually use Steam Link for (it's the only game that plays nice with the touch controls and isn't affected by any lag because it's turn-based anyway).

I hadn't played since Civ 3 until I saw this one in the Netflix apps. So steam link is a no go for me. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Netflix game. Still would not recommend getting a subscription to them just for games tho

Oh FYI not sure if you want to go down that rabbit hole, but... If you stream via sunshine/moonlight with hardware acceleration 4k120 is playable with minimal input lag. I stream Cyberpunk, RDR2, Indiana Jones to my OLED in the basement.

I'm usually playing over the internet when I am away from home. On LAN, everything works as if I wasn't even streaming, barring the occasional little hiccup in the networking traffic.

I just want Monument 3. I bought the first two but since 3 is tied to Netflix, I can't do that.

Wait. The last levels are on some timed release bullshit. It launched as like half a game.

It's barely a game anyway.
