7 more video game series worth watching

"Fallout"

Action, drama, sci-fi | 4.5 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season 1 | 2024 — ...

The series is based on "Fallout" (1997 — 2018)

The series is set 200 years after the nuclear apocalypse. Some people hid from the disaster in underground bunkers and isolated themselves from the rest of the world. The show's plot centers on a girl named Lucy from Sanctuary 33, who goes up to the surface world in search of her father and is horrified to discover what has become of him over the years.

"The series perfectly carries over many of the moments from the video game, where you have a few minutes of serious drama and horror, and in the next few minutes there's a situation so absurd and ridiculous that you just laugh out loud. And it is impossible not to say that Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, whose work I have been following since Person of Interest, were responsible for the series, and they did everything just fine. Perfectly calibrated picture, excellent plot, which drops twists literally in every episode. The finale is just made of twists", — Andrey1555.

"After a full viewing there is only one complaint: not enough. Gave a good start, want to continue, and the second season is too long to wait", — kindofake.

"Despite the obvious flaws, I am unexpectedly delighted. And wanted to immediately dig out my favorite second part and go through for the hundredth time", — Pokefan.

"The Last of Us"

Action, drama, horror | 4.54 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2023 — ...

The series is based on "The Last of Us" (2013)

The action of the project develops 20 years after the destruction of modern civilization due to a virus. Smuggler Joel is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of the quarantine zone. What begins as a dust-free job soon turns into a difficult and heartbreaking journey, during which Joel and Ellie will have to learn to trust each other.

"Left only a positive impression of the series, from the plot to the actors. You can immediately see the quality work not because they invested a lot of money (this is of course also important), but that professionals worked on the story. I haven't played the game (though I've wanted to for a long time), I read in the comments that there aren't many differences with the source material, I think it also contributed a lot to the success", — MarkFairvud.

"Very pleased with the picture, size and pace of the series. Thankful that it's not meat and chopping. A gentle introduction to a new old universe. Characters revealed, characters sympathized with, and motivations understood. Very good", — milanajager.

"I want to express my delight with the first season of the series. Absolutely gorgeous cast, filmed at the highest level, editing, music - all awesome. I can't wait for the next season. From the minuses - in most of the series does not feel the necessary tension from the danger of infected, often they are simply not, I hope this will be corrected", — pourina.

"Twisted Metal"

Action. comedy, sci-fi | 4.05 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2023 — ...

The series is based on "Twisted Metal" (1995 — 2012)

In the story, people live in closed cities, between which stretches a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of dangers. Between the cities there are delivery men, one of whom is John Doe, who suddenly gets a chance for a better life. To do so, he must deliver a mysterious package and avoid getting caught by marauders and other monsters — like Sweet Tooth the clown driving an ice cream truck.

"I remember even playing this game back in the late 90s. The series turned out to be a decent adaptation, a bunch of thrashak and humor", — ZRaoulDuke.

"If the first series began to watch with a share of skepticism, rather from boredom, then further watched with genuine interest. Bright characters, kayfovy soundtrack, a pleasant timing of half an hour, for which the series did not manage to bore, and even Maki as if finally in its place, unlike the same Vidomirovaniye carbon. Yes, the series definitely slips cheapness, and rather perceived it as a black action movie, category B, but it is in this genre, showed itself a series on hurrah", — Lazy_Pie.

"Wasn't expecting anything, but the series pleasantly surprised me. Doubts were there because of Peacock, Anthony Mackie and the fact that it's by play. But budget aside it was quite interesting and even fun. Maki directly revealed, the usual plays with a stony face, but here the feeling as if he enjoyed himself on the set. And all the actors here are quite colorful and memorable. I generally a little thrash (in a good way) reminded the series Zet Nation, too, each series surprised and sometimes there was such a thing that will not come up with", — GonReborn.

"Halo"

Action, sci-fi | 3.95 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2022 — ...

The series is based on "Halo" (2001 — 2021)

The series is about the confrontation between humanity and the alien threat known as Covenant. The humans' only hope of victory is the SPARTAN-II project, which is dedicated to creating super-soldiers. Covenant manages to find and destroy almost all of the fighters, but one ship does escape. On it is Master Chief, on whose shoulders now rests the responsibility of saving humanity.

"I don't know, even though my opinion may be unpopular, but I really enjoyed the series. Just here is everything that I love in fiction) Yes, the line with the former Spartan and his family tedious, but nevertheless I liked the second season even more than the first. Very much looking forward to the sequel", — Timohka.

"I haven't played it, haven't even seen what's in it, but wildly interested and absolutely thrilled. As an Expansion fan, I'm just loving it. And yes, already said above, there is no saifai at all right now. The cast is good, and people will always find flaws in games and film adaptations. <...> Master of Cheef is played by super Schreiber. I'll wait with great interest for the next one", — FCBARCELONA.

"Man, the second season was better than the first, but still bad. The script is worthless, just water. Considering how little of this genre is filmed, I'll still hope they renew it. From a lousy sheep, at least a piece of wool", — TIC_TAC.

"Cyberpunk: Edgerunners"

Action, anime, sci-Fi | 4.27 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2022

The series is based on "Cyberpunk 2077" (2020)

In the futuristic city of the future, Night City, everyone is obsessed with technology and body modifications. The series is about a homeless man, David Martinez, who has lost everything. His only chance to stay alive is to become an edgerunner, an outlaw mercenary.

"Really enjoyed the anime, captured the atmosphere of post noir cyberpunk in places better than the game. The music is top, the characters are interesting, and the action is exciting until the very end. Bravo", — ZerooBatS.

"Played the game a bit before watching and I can say that as a work in the game's universe it's one of the best I've seen. A bunch of different little things from the game are seamlessly incorporated and shown in the anime (right down to the damn metal fence with barbed wire XD). The animation is distinctive, the music is 10 heads better than in the cyberpunk itself", — reverse_furion.

"Not a big fan of anime, but after playing the game I decided to watch it. Still, it's nice to look at familiar places again. But I think a person "from the street" very many things will be incomprehensible, the lore of the story is not particularly revealed. I don't even know how you can understand all this movement with gangs, ice baths, all kinds of ice netrunner things, if you have not played the game before", — vkh.

"Gangs of London"

Crime, drama, thriller | 4.04 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2020 — ...

The series is based on "Gangs of London" (2006)

For the past 20 years, Finn Wallace has been the most powerful criminal in London. Billions of pounds passed through his organization every year. But now he's dead — and no one knows who ordered his murder. The incident upsets the already fragile balance of London's underworld.

"[Season two] is a level above the first season. And that staging of the fights, how beautiful it is and how vilely each of the bloody scenes is shown. You can feel every drop of blood spilled, every hand cut and slashed. In many Hollywood action movies the murders have become commonplace, but here you literally read every murder, which makes you feel sick. All in all, a job well done", — Ourus.

"The second season not only held the bar of the first, but surpassed it. More fights, shootouts, suspense and over-the-top ultra-violence. All the characters are alive, for which thanks to the actors, and the whole team as a whole. Since Spartacus and Banshee, I've already missed the old "good" ultra-violence. The series was a breath of fresh air. Definitely waiting for the third season", — Casper666.

"Very dynamic everything, you can't tear yourself away. Definitely bloodier became, somehow more sophisticated, also added saspensa. The fights look good. For my taste the picture in general is more interesting than in the first season. In places visually straight beautiful shots", — scarcelyinside.

"The Cuphead Show!"

Comedy | 4.16 out of 5 on MyShows | 3 seasons | 2022

The series is based on "Cuphead" (2017)

The show follows the misadventures of impulsive Cuphead and his cautious but easily persuaded brother, Mugman. In search of fun and adventure, they travel around the Ink Islands, constantly getting into all sorts of trouble. Good thing they're together and always ready to have each other's backs.

"Didn't play the game much, but what a show with distinctive, good-quality drawings decides lately: what Arcane added +100 to the perception that here. The animation against the old-style static looks marvelous, the atmosphere from the game and the gorgeous songs", —  Sixame.

"It was epic. And the dance, and the rock, scissors, paper game. And the final episode and the whole show. One of the best game adaptations ever. When Netflix releases a project, the gods flip a coin, but this was great. As an adaptation, as a standalone work. The authors are well done", — Bairum.

"Retro will always be in honor, and the game and the series about Chashik and Kruzhik is proof of that! The graphics and music are just gorgeous, and the opening credits were very cool! The brothers are just the cutest mischievous creatures, and their Uncle Kettle also not a miss, humorous so :D", — Rin_Rin.
