Empire
Arguably the best video game adaptation ever made, it deepens the game’s dystopian story while staying true to its emotional core. Like the game, this is a masterpiece.

Druckmann and Mazin have taken this unforgettable story, enriched it, made it more compelling, and allowed us to experience these characters and this world in ways we couldn’t in the game. HBO’s The Last of Us is a monumental success.

Calling The Last of Us the best video game adaptation of all time would be an understatement. Sure, it’s better than the Sonic movies, the Halo series, and that crappy Mario movie from the 90s. But this HBO-produced game is also a damn good TV drama, offering superbly filmed character exploration and plenty of suspense. In short, the series deserves your attention.

Complex characters, combined with a stellar performance, a brilliantly constructed story, and an emotionally gripping storyline, make The Last of Us a brilliant series that is now the blueprint for all other video game TV adaptations.

The Last of Us is undeniably the new bar in the seemingly impossible task of video game adaptation. But it’s too early to tell if it will satisfy the legions of fans who consider video game illustrations to be works of art.

Basically, it’s a smarter and much better-acted The Walking Dead, with a higher production value and a smaller but stronger cast. However, the character work soon becomes so strong that there are long stretches without any infected, and yet you don’t feel like the series lacks dramatic tension or a memorable event. Druckmann and Mazin turned it into something that works incredibly well as a TV series.

From acting to storytelling to aesthetics, this is a brilliantly executed adaptation. But at the same time, she asks the audience to absorb a lot of human suffering, while not saying anything that we would not hear in such series.

Decisive
As amazing as this series is, it never manages to stray from its roots. The Last of Us is without a doubt one of the best and most inspiring video game adaptations made for the screen. But that’s the problem, isn’t it? No matter how polished the script, how inspiring the visuals, how award-winning the acting is, it will always be an interactive story crammed into a passive environment.

As a result of this story, unfortunately, clearing the game passages did not help in any way.
