All of Netflix’s weird interactive movies and shows, ranked (www.polygon.com)
 
 

cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/1552372

2018’s Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and 2019’s You vs. Wild marked a new phase for Netflix’s interactive shows, which started off with relatively simple interactive experiments for kids in 2017, designed to test the waters for actual Netflix games down the road. These Choose Your Own Adventure-style stories became some of Netflix’s more distinctive offerings for a short while, but they’re getting rarer as Netflix’s focus shifts toward skill tests like Cat Burglar and Trivia Quest.

Still, Netflix continues to drop the occasional interactive story, and we’re continuing to rank each one based on how interactive it actually is. The service’s latest interactive special, the ambitious We Lost Our Human, prompted a new update of our rankings. This list considers whether a given Netflix interactive special is fun to play, what kind of story it’s telling, and whether your choices actually have any effect on how that story unfolds.
