I’ve been playing around with some Apple TV games and I am impressed with the efforts I’ve encountered so far. If there’s one thing I’d change, it’s the remote itself.

I’m definitely going to order an MFi game controller, I suspect that will make a huge difference in playability. But there is one setting that made the remote much more usable, both in games and in making my way around the Apple TV interface.

On the Apple TV, make your way over to Settings, then select Remotes and Devices, which should look something like this:

Tap the Touch Surface Tracking setting, and change it to Slow. For me, some games just play better with this setting, give me a finer control over my tracking.

And one more thing: Try tapping (not pressing) on the edges of the trackpad as an alternative way to move around. Really works well in certain situations.
