Posted on 22 October 20 at 15:27Man... I just finished playing Tell Me Why on xCloud on my phone last week. For a slow walking/adventure game like that, touch controls would have been great, rather than carting around a controller with me. Not sure how well it would work for some of the more action-oriented games, but it'll be interesting to try!
Posted on 22 October 20 at 15:40wow wow wow this is what I've been hoping for...and fingers crossed they make that list of games bigger and bigger

Posted on 22 October 20 at 15:44Tried New Super Luckys Tales with the touch controls as I imagined it to be one of the more simpler games to play using it... really didn't get into it.Much prefer using the controller and would say the touch controls were more a hassle than a convenience. Although it was useful to get the 300 coins required for the weekly quest without clipping a controller on.
Posted on 22 October 20 at 16:12Unpopular Opinion... Touch controls are horrible on any system. I hate playing games with touch controls.
Posted on 22 October 20 at 17:00Slay the Spire is the only game I thought of when I saw the headline. Leaving satisfied...
Posted on 22 October 20 at 17:40Here to join the chorus of people excited about mobile Slay the Spire.Blah blah blah forum signature

I think the majority actually agrees with you. Hard pressed to find someone advocating for the excellence of touch controls. Rather it's a trade between haptics and convenience.
Posted on 22 October 20 at 18:30Will never play a game with touch only controls, unless its made for it.Arcade games, twitch games, fighting games, racing games need real controllers.If you actually want to play them.If you want to goof around, and pretend, sure, use touch controls.later-1
Posted on 22 October 20 at 19:36It's a fantastic option for games like Slay the Spire or Tell Me Why for sure.. any strategy RPG or turn-based game, trivia type game (wheel of fortune, trivial pursuit), any adventure game, any other card battle game or chess type game, actually there a shitloads of games where touch controls are perfectly viable, so i dont understand some ppl above saying they refuse to even consider playing with them in a perfectly suitable type of game.https://www.youtube.com/user/Montaigne83
Posted on 22 October 20 at 19:37Also i love the way commenters feel the need to whine about Microsoft simply giving more options to play games as though it's a bad thing, i mean we've seen it before and will continue to see it i guess. How terrible of them, giving gamers options and being consumer-friendly, how dare they!https://www.youtube.com/user/Montaigne83
Posted on 22 October 20 at 21:33, Edited on 22 October 20 at 21:38 by MrZombieChickenGlad to see Tell Me Why since it's something I can complete while I'm out without having to carry a controller. And I'm completely baffled by how someone is going to play Killer Instinct effectively using touch controls.Edit: Just read the others' comments. I guess my opinion is not unique.This space for rent.
Posted on 22 October 20 at 22:14Slay the spire is the game I've been hoping to get this feature for ages. Praise ....something. but yeah. I'm happy
Posted on 22 October 20 at 22:48Had a go on Slay the Spire earlier. The touch screen controls worked pretty well once I got used to it, this seems like the perfect kind of game for it - I wouldn't fancy trying to play Streets of Rage like this though.Unfortunately the game breaking bug that's preventing me completing my current 5 cards or fewer run in Slay the Spire was still present in the cloud version.
Posted on 23 October 20 at 03:48I'm so stoked that Slay the Spire is on this list because touch controls for it were my number one wish for Game Pass Cloud gaming. I'll probably try the other games just to try them out now that I can do it without having to install them or sync a controller with my phone. Of course, I have a hard time believing the more action oriented titles will work well, but screw it...what do I have to lose but 5-10 minutes of my time?
