The 7 best video game adaptations to stream

0

The phrase “video game adaptation” used to be synonymous with saying “it's going to be a bad movie/show.” Over the years, there have been countless attempts to bring stories and characters from the video game industry to our screens, and until recently, most of them have failed.

But over the past few years, Netflix, Prime Video, and other of the best streaming services have been giving viewers some really good entertainment inspired by or taken directly from some of gaming's biggest franchises. Sure, there have still been some serious duds here and there—you just have to look at my “Borderlands” review for proof of that—but it definitely feels like rock-solid video game movies and TV shows are here to stay now.
