Hi,

Three children 3 about to be 4, 9, 12.

None of us are gamers and we don't want to become them. No shooting games, no war games. Looking for family-friendly entertainment that can be played together.

Rather than invest in a system like Xbox of Playstation or Switch, I have been looking at online gaming services. Which is best?

I see:
Amazon Luna (we are already Prime members)

Xbox xCloud

Google Stadia

Playstation Now

and other ones I never heard of before like Blacknut

Would maybe invest in a controller if that made 2-player mode easier.

Thanks?

A Nintendo Switch would better fit your family's needs. Streaming services are not yet to the point to be recommendable. Buy a switch and you won't regret it

Appreciate the advice.

I thought streaming services let you play on any device (TV, phone, laptop) and that seemed appealing. Two older children have computers for school and we have a TV in the living room plus one in the basement.
