Video-game adaptations have a reputation for being bad. This is partially because there’s an inherent disconnect between an interactive medium and a passive one.

HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us is winning awards; Arcane is bringing people into League of Legends, a game they likely would have never played; and by god, we’re getting live-action Shadow the Hedgehog in December. But what adaptations have risen to the top? Put the controller down and grab some popcorn, folks. Let’s go through some of the best video-game movies and TV shows you can watch.
