    It’s pretty tight, I wasn’t sure I’d really enjoy it but I’m glad I got it cause I use it at work on my breaks. It’s pretty cool honestly. Can’t beat the price either.

    So far, I've played Minecraft (mobile) and some PS2 emulated games and it has worked perfectly. Definitely has a premium feel to it and I thinks it's a nice touch that Backbone has its own gaming hub/ app to access all your games from Google Play, Xbox Game Pass, etc. It does not have emulated games show up, but that's understandable. I am happy with this purchase.

    While the concept is good and the device itself is solid. My regret is that streaming games in itself is hit or miss. Works great when WiFi is good but struggles even in a decent download/upload speed. Can’t stress enough that the backbone is a solid device, I just don’t believe we are there in terms of streaming games just yet.
