    The track record is getting good, though. Fallout and Last of Us nailed it. Cyberpunk and Arcane were pretty awesome, too. Maybe they’ve figured out the formula

      Last of Us, Cyberpunk and Arcane are nowhere on my radar of shows that I plan on ever watching so I can’t speak to those. Don’t have anything against it. Just doesn’t spark any interest. Fallout I’ve been meaning to watch for a while but just keep autistically shrinking back into Star Trek lmao

        At the very least watch Cyberpunk. It’s magnificent. But I think it helps that the setting and themes have never just been gaming-centric and the show isn’t actually based on the most recent game.

          Well fill Stamets in, watch Cyberpunk if you like a slight mystery, betrayal, and doomed love. Thats at the core of all Cyberpunk genre stories. But Edgerunners is better if you already liked Neuromancer and media like that. Its not for everyone. I would even say the best part about cyberpunk genres is destroyed in the '77 setting.
