SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Paramount+’s Knuckles, which brings the titular character and some of his lore to the small screen, is the latest example of a solid video game TV show that raises the bar for future adaptations. Similarly to the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, Knuckles combines elements from the games with original characters created for the live-action franchise.
While Knuckles’ Rotten Tomatoes score is not as impressive as Fallout’s – 69% as of the writing of this article – it is on par with Sonic the Hedgehog2’s critical reception. Aimed at younger audiences but full of Easter eggs and references that only long-time fans will enjoy, the Sonic the Hedgehog movies have found the perfect balance between pleasing fans of the source material while also bringing in new audiences.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners further proved how well the animation format suits video game adaptations and delivered one of the best anime series of 2022, if not the best. Whereas Arcane and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners felt like extensions of their respective source materials, The Last of Us season 1 was a faithful adaptation of the first Last of Us game.
The Bar Is Now Much Higher For Upcoming Video Game Movies & TV Shows It has been proved video game movies & shows can be great Following the critical and commercial success of shows like The Last of Us and movies like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, there will naturally be more video game adaptations released every year. However, the bar is now much higher for the genre compared to a few years ago.
