My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I’m impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition.
We set the bar pretty low on video game adaptations, but I feel this one’s doing alright so far!
What does everyone else think? (Let’s keep spoilers to a minimum. Most of us probably weren’t able to watch the whole thing in one night.)
As someone who hasn’t played the games and am 5 episodes in, I’m not finding myself particularly attached to the series if that makes sense. I’m also not sure if I shouldn’t just pick the games up on steam and run through them in the coming months - partially because I’m not convinced they’re in my style of play (I mostly like older arcade shmups and fps, like Doom eternal etc). That being said, I can see the direction they’re going. The character development is pretty obvious with only a few a-ha moments. I keep wondering when for those who aren’t as engaged in the game will have a more complete picture, but also understand that most shows didn’t give up the ghost all at once anyways just to rope you in. Curious what others who are only in passing familiarity with the game think as well.
