If you've got a Netflix account, you've got to try this under-rated gaming gem

Netflix has slowly grown into a decent platform for games, to be honest. In my mind, it's still the app I slap on when I want to throw anywhere between 30 minutes and five hours away, mindlessly binging TV. But don't be fooled! One of the best retro fighters in years is available to play for any Netflix fan out there with a taste for life-or-death action.

I'm of course speaking about Samurai Showdown. This 2019 SNK fighter rebooted the legendary IP for modern fans, bringing back the ridiculously high damage and iconic characters that a certain subset of nerdy 30-something-year-olds used to go on and on about. Thanks to the reboot, nerdy twenty-somethings now find themselves in the same boat. For good reasons I promise!

Samurai Showdown is distinct among other fighting games out there - so much so that it has inspired multiple indie games that pay homage to the one-hit-kills and gory presentation that made the series famous. There's a special tension to Samurai Showdown. One strike can kill you, so you've got to play carefully and tactically if you want a chance of winning. Forget button mashing buddy, if you try that round here, you'll be dead in no time.
