It's cool that Luna has a couch co-op feature that lets you play with your friends even if they don’t subscribe to Luna, and the Twitch integration seems well done, but it’s not enough. But Stadia proved you can’t be successful without games. It does have just about every licensed kart racer out there, including Garfield Kart: Furious Racing, if that’s what you’re into. There are some great titles on there like Alien: Isolation, Resident Evil 2 Remake, and SteamWorld Dig 2, but I don't think there’s a single game on Luna that came out in the last two years.

There are 146 games on Luna, not including the Ubisoft titles you can stream if you also have an Ubisoft+ subscription, and they’re mostly old indies and retro games. It also has Stadia’s fatal flaw: no games. Stadia felt like the service I could access anywhere, while Luna is more of a walled garden. I invested in Chromecast for Stadia so I don’t have any Amazon streaming devices, Fire Tablets are lousy, and I have an Android phone, so the only way I can play Luna right now is on my PC. You can access games through a browser on PC, an Amazon Fire Stick or Fire TV, a Fire Tablet, or an iPhone. Related: I'll Always Miss What Stadia Could Have Been The streaming quality is excellent on my 200mb/s network, and except for a few random lag spikes, it was easy to forget that I was even streaming. Occasionally, I found I had to wait a few minutes for an available server before I could start playing, but it was still way faster than downloading a game. Accessing the library on the Luna website is easy, and you can use the controller or mouse and keyboard to navigate the menus, select a game, and start playing right away. After setting up the controller through the mobile app, it connects directly to your home network to give you a perfect connection without any latency, no matter what device you’re playing on. Amazon sent me a Luna controller to try out recently, and I was pleased to find that Luna does a lot of the same things that Stadia did well.
