What popular Netflix shows would make good games?

It is difficult to predict which Netflix series will be developed into video games. Stranger Things for example, has already been turned into a video game and it is available to download online. However, it is not a massive game and unless you are willing to search the games library, you are likely to miss the game. In fact, there are two Stranger Things video games, with the first being Stranger Things: 1984 and the most recent being Stranger Things 3: The Game.

Interestingly, there have been rumours circulating recently that Netflix is going to launch its own gaming service. It is unlikely to happen until 2022 but speculation is growing as to which of their television series and movies will be turned into video games.

Orange is the New Black is a classic Netflix series based in a women’s prison and has the perfect premise for a video game. Players could be living life in the prison and having to interact with fellow inmates, completing missions in the process. The missions could range from making sure you get your meal at dinner time to smuggling something in from the outside world. As you progress through the game, new missions and characters could be revealed and the game would have to have a lot of action but also a great deal of humour.

We have witnessed the success of video games based on themes you would not believe would make an entertaining video game. Goat Simulator and Over Cooked are two good examples so what about a video game adaption of Tidying with Marie Kondo? It sounds crazy but it really could work as you are tasked with organising your home and your life. You could begin in a small home, with simple tidying up tasks to complete and at the end, you are graded based on the level of calm and relaxation in the room/home. As the game progresses, the homes, and rooms become bigger and more difficult to tidy.

Santa Clarita Diet is a Netflix series not for the feint hearted as the lead character is a zombie who is trying to live a normal life. She still wants to eat victims but at the same time live in a neighbourhood, enjoy time with family and have fun with friends. This scenario would be perfect for a survival style video game, where you have to go about your business on a daily basis but also quench your desire for human flesh without being caught. As the game develops, due to your eating habits, more zombies being to appear, and you have the keep the numbers under control before being discovered and losing the game.

Many television series and movies have been developed into online slots games and you can find a selection of the best on MobileUS Casinos. Narcos has been developed into an online slot and is one of the most popular series on Netflix. Following the success of the original series, Netflix produced Narcos Mexico, which was also a big hit. A Narcos game could work in two ways. You could be on the side of the law, tracking down small-time drug dealers at the beginning of the game and working your way through using information and informants until you take down the big boss. Alternatively, you could start out as a small-time drug dealer with big ambitions and the aim of the game is to build up your empire without being caught. There could be plenty of combat, including shooting but also a strong strategic element to the game.
