The most surprising aspect of the GameStick is how well its controller functions despite looking a bit goofy. These seemingly too-wide analog sticks are some of the most responsive I’ve ever used that weren’t attached to an Xbox 360 controller. They are not floaty and have just enough resistance that you feel like your movements are accurate.
Getting the proper weight and resistance in an analog stick goes a long way in making a controller both fun and easy to use. The face buttons are just as responsive as the analog sticks. They make satisfying clicky sounds each time you press them in, and they stand up well to repetitive button mashing. To test the controller, I played many of the platformers and shooters available on the GameStick store and had no trouble making tricky jumps and firing.Ĭompared to the Ouya, GameStick’s controller is just … better. It’s both responsive and pleasing to the touch and doesn’t require you to take it apart to put in new batteries (it has a rechargeable battery built in). PlayJam also added a rubberized coating to the underneath side which provides a little bit of grip. GameStick’s biggest advantage is the ease with which you can set it up and navigate the menu. Everything is clearly labeled, and at launch you’ll only have four menus to sort through: Games, Media, Profile, and Settings. When you hook the console up for the first time, it will walk you through setting up an account for your GameStick, connect to Wi-Fi, and set up parental controls. Parental controls are prominent in the GameStick’s design. Your profile will display what your content setting is, making it clear if you’re able to access mature content.
The games also clearly present their rating, and GameStick filters out mature-rated games if the profile cannot access or download anything rated higher than teen.
