Good next picks depend on which five adaptations you have already watched—but that list is not identified here. The recommendations below offer several ways to continue, from live-action game-world dramas to animated series and feature films. Check them against your original five before choosing; the overlap cannot be confirmed without knowing those titles.
How to choose your next video game adaptation
Start with the kind of viewing experience you want, then consider how the screen story relates to its game. Some titles are series set in a game world; others are films built around a familiar game franchise. The options below are a shortlist, not a definitive quality ranking: the cited guides do not provide one stable measure that compares films and series alike.
- For a live-action series: consider Fallout or The Last of Us.
- For animation: try Castlevania, Arcane, or Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
- For a film: look at Pokémon Detective Pikachu or Sonic the Hedgehog.
Rotten Tomatoes’ video game TV guide ranks series by Tomatometer, but scores and ordering can change. It is a TV guide, not a like-for-like ranking of the films and series in this list.
Series to watch next
Fallout: for a game-world television story
If you want a series drawn from a recognizable game setting, Fallout is one option named in Rotten Tomatoes’ guide to game-based TV. The guide establishes it as a notable game-based series, but the material available here does not support a more detailed comparison of its plot, tone, or fidelity to a particular game. Rotten Tomatoes’ guide
The Last of Us: for post-apocalyptic drama
The Last of Us is another game-to-screen series listed by Rotten Tomatoes and Virgin Media O2. Virgin Media O2 describes Joel and Ellie traveling through a post-apocalyptic America affected by a fungal outbreak. Choose it if that premise appeals more than a fantasy or family-oriented game adaptation. Virgin Media O2’s guide
Castlevania: for animated fantasy and action
Castlevania is an animated-series pick. Dexerto describes it as following Trevor Belmont’s struggle against Dracula, giving it a clear fantasy conflict rather than the post-apocalyptic setting of The Last of Us. It is also included in Rotten Tomatoes’ game-based TV guide. Dexerto’s overview · Rotten Tomatoes’ guide
Rank #2
- The Help (Three-Disc Combo: Blu-ray/DVD + Digital Copy)
Arcane: for an animated story based on League of Legends
Arcane is an animated series based on League of Legends, named by both Rotten Tomatoes and Virgin Media O2. It is a natural choice if you want an animated adaptation rather than a live-action series. The cited guides establish its connection to the game, but do not provide enough detail here to compare how closely its story follows game events. Rotten Tomatoes’ guide · Virgin Media O2’s guide
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners: for a standalone story in a game universe
Dexerto describes Cyberpunk: Edgerunners as a standalone story in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe that does not include the game’s main characters. That makes it an option for viewers interested in the setting who would rather not depend on a direct continuation of the game’s central story. Dexerto’s overview

Films to watch next
Pokémon Detective Pikachu: for a different take on Pokémon
Pokémon Detective Pikachu is a feature-film option that takes a different screen approach to the Pokémon universe, according to Virgin Media O2. Consider it if you want a film rather than another series and are open to a screen story that approaches the franchise differently. Virgin Media O2’s guide
Sonic the Hedgehog: for a lively franchise adventure
Sonic the Hedgehog is a film based on Sega’s game character and franchise. Virgin Media O2 describes it as a lively adventure. It is the most straightforward film pick here if the appeal is seeing a familiar game character lead a screen adventure. Virgin Media O2’s guide
Rank #4
- In THE IMITATION GAME, Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Alan Turing, the genius British mathematician, logician, cryptologist and computer scientist who led the charge to crack the German Enigma Code that helped the Allies win WWII. Turing went on to assist with the development of computers at the University of Manchester after the war, but was prosecuted by the UK government in 1952 for homosexual a
