The Problem With Game Adaptations
143There’s been many news about video game adaptations, but we still struggle to find many faithful adaptations. Perhaps it is because these adaptations can never be faithful. I cover games like Bioshock, Cyberpunk 2077, NieR: Automata, Elden Ring, and The Last of Us and show their issues for adaptation. Regardless, that should not stop good films or shows from being made. I also talk a bunch about Sifu in this video.
