Considering a GameStick? Here are 5 games you should play

The GameStick’s greatest strength is its controller. Sure it feels light, but once you get over the weight, you’ll see just how shockingly responsive the buttons and analog sticks are. I was quite taken with how well the controller holds up to games in my review of this Android-based microconsole.

Many of the games you’ll find on the GameStick you might have seen on Google Play and the iOS App Store, but the biggest difference is how much more control you have over them with physical, moving parts. What makes the GameStick controller such a joy to use (and worlds better than the Ouya’s) is the sensitivity of both the analog sticks and the face buttons. They’re neither too loose or too firm, and offer a satisfying amount of resistance. Plus, you don’t have to fuss with a sketchy touch pad.
