Ratings and reviews

For most of my games, this service is great. I do have a few minor issues due to WiFi, but otherwise, it runs as needed. My only major issue is that the support team is complete garbage. I had issues with one game that required contacting support to fix. Not only did it not get fixed, but the support team refused to listen, kept switching to a different person, and continued to run me through circles. In the end, I was forced to give up on getting the issue fixed.

Great idea if you're close to a server, not so great if you're not. I leave my server on auto but it always tells my that I'm too far from the server. Not really a problem until the latency spikes high and the game becomes so pixelated it's unplayable. Other than that it runs smooth and looks great. Waiting for them to add Fallout games to the list.

Something of a revelation for me. I have several games from over the years that I never expected to be able to play since there's always something more important or pressing to buy than a good PC. The ability to play those - and on my phone - is huge. And for free! Even the paid tiers are a pretty good value when compared to outright buying a PC. Nice UI as well, very clean. A wishlist would be a nice addition. It's not a perfect service, but I'm really happy I stumbled upon it.
