I tried gaming on the Google TV Streamer, and it was just awful

The Google TV Streamer is one of the best and most surprising Google products launched this year. It’s Google’s first non-Chromecast streaming product (the Nexus Q doesn’t count), and it incorporates features you don’t find in many other streamers, including access to Google Home controls and working as a Thread border router. During my Google TV Streamer review, I fell in love with how speedy, simple, and powerful the device is.

One thing the streamer does not explicitly do is operate as a gaming machine. However, it runs on the Android TV platform, meaning it at least has the capability of both on-device gaming and game streaming too. This, of course, begets the question: Is the Google TV Streamer any good for gaming?
