Amazon Luna, currently in early access, is an inexpensive choice for more casual gamers. The best news? Controller connectivity is excellent.

You may recall that I had some latency/lag issues with Google’s Stadia, though the right combination of hardware---like a Chromecast Ultra with a wireless Stadia controller or, even better, a Chromebook with a Stadia controller---solved that problem. With this experience behind me, I went nervously into my Luna testing after Amazon (re)invited me into the early access program the other day. And in addition to the $5.99 per month Luna subscription, I also ordered a $50 Amazon Luna Controller to be sure I was getting the best possible experience.
