Here are three game adaptations we loved, and three more that disappointed us.
We’re living in the golden age of game adaptations.
The attraction of adaptations of any kind is simple enough to understand.
Sadly, not every adaptation surpasses or even meets the quality of what came before.
For every Arcane, there is a Mortal Kombat (1995).
For every Sonic the Hedgehog, there is a Mortal Kombat (2021).
Even in the worst adaptations we’ve gotten recently however, we can find small nuggets of brilliance.
Arcane makes a good argument for why some games actually require adaptations.
Also, its just gorgeous.
Until Arcane, it was one of the few adaptations to do this successfully.
Theyre classics for a reason!
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Hear me out!
By The Final Chapter, the franchise resembles Mad Max far more than it does Resident Evil.
He didnt need all this angst and constant spasms of identity crises.
Young isnt the only ill-fitting cog in this poorly built machine.
