It’s 235.5g without the battery or 281.5g with its two AA’s. I’ve tested *lot* of controllers, and the Luna is pretty decent. While it retails for $69.99, it is on sale frequently (it’s currently on sale for $29.99). It works with Luna, but also with PCs and many other platforms via Bluetooth. Amazon Luna – ControllerĪmazon also sells a dedicated Luna controller. For those use cases, Amazon Luna’s ~$5 monthly prices are an downright steal.Īs long as you eventually remember to cancel. And while the focus of this review isn’t on the collective quality of those individual channels, it’s not hard to imagine someone subscribing to the Jackbox channel for an evening game night, or a family who just wants to play Overcooked. In fact, many users just want jackbox games – or want to play games with the family. Most of these games are exclusive to their respective channels, which means that to access Luna’s full list of games, you’ll need to pay $41/month on top of your Amazon Prime subscription.īut is this a slightly backward way of thinking about it. There are a few other channels, including the Family Channel for $5.99 per month, the Retro Channel for $4.99 per month, and the Jackbox Games Channel for $4.99 per month.
(Ubisoft+’s PC-only plan costs a little less than $14.99.) Your $17.99 subscription allows you to play locally on PC or stream on Stadia. This channel costs $17.99 per month but is not owned by Luna. The second big channel is reserved for Ubisoft+, which features big-name games from the studio, including Riders Republic, Far Cry 6: Ultimate Edition, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Complete Edition, and more.
And Featuring all of Microsoft’s huge first-party game line-up on release day. This seems particularly disadvantageous compared to Xbox Cloud Gaming, which is included with the Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Games like Lost Ark and New World from Luna are completely absent. It costs $9.99 per month and has a catalog of 120+ games, including standouts like Ghostrunner: Complete Edition, Abzu, Control Ultimate Edition, Enter the Gunzen, and Super Mega Baseball 3.Ĭuriously, Amazon Studios’ own games don’t make the cut. Amazon is clearly thinking of it as a cherry-on-top of Amazon Prime, rather than the kind of killer feature that users will have to pay $14.99 per month to start subscribing.Īmazon also wants users to buy into the a la carte “channel” that hosts thematic collections of games. At the time of publication, the group was Steel Assault, Mist, Control and Garfield Kart. The previous group offered Overcooked 2, Mega Man 11, Castlevania Anniversary Collection and Skatebird. This is a relatively small group, although they do move around from time to time. This one game page is about as good as they come – it’s robust and useful and I really enjoyed clicking around, checking out the streamers playing each game, and watching some of the trailers.Īll Amazon Prime members can access a handful of games for free. You can also read a quick Metacritic breakdown and see more Luna games by the publisher.
Tapping into a game lets you quickly start playing, add to playlists (which act as a collection of your favorites), or view trailers, screenshots, or even streamers currently playing the game.
While the games are still packed in carousels and rows, each has large, colorful cover art. Luna’s mobile app (or browser-based app in the case of iOS) is pretty neat. From top to bottom, you’ll see two unrelated-to-Luna toolbars, Then Beneath it all, you’ll finally arrive at Luna’s curated content. However, on the browser, the interface is a bit messy. On the left is a toolbar, which includes a list of showcased games, a library, games in your playlist, a search function, a “Couch” button (more on that later), a broadcast button for quickly pausing Twitch sessions, and settings. The Luna storefront has a stripped-down interface that’s mostly navigated by scrolling through row after row.
