We’re past the days when every video game to film adaptation proved a massive dud. Some TV Shows based on games are genuinely great.
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

arcane is more certainly better than tlou and I really enjoyed both
Actually both are bad, the 2012 animated Mass Effect show is obviously number 1
Hey now, don’t count out that Dragon Age anime about Cassandra!
Long ago I watched the anime based on Tales of Eternia (the Namco “Tales of” game that was also called Tales of Destiny 2 in the US for no good reason, it’s not a sequel).
The anime is awkwardly shoehorned in a very specific and inconsequential part of the game (like, one that would last about 2 minutes). Nothing meaningful really happens in the series. Because of the way it’s framed, I also estimate its entertainment value for someone who didn’t play the game at basically zero.
Oh yeah, there’s a freaking swimming contest out of nowhere at one point. Women only of course. I’m sure it had nothing to do with having female characters in swimsuits for a while.
That certainly was one of the anime series of all time.
