Original stories set in the worlds of iconic video games are featured in this animated anthology series. Video games have made the leap to the screen in a big way, and we’re celebrating the genre with a closer look at over 50 video game adaptations into movies and shows. Clive Standen will reprise his voice role as Demetrius Titus, the main character from the video game Space Marine 2. The episode takes place after the events of the game. Referenced in Film Junk Podcast: Episode 973: Carry-On (2024). As a long-time fan of Tim Miller’s other show, Love Death + Robots, I was really excited for this. Then I started to notice that not many of the stories could hold my attention for very long. They would end right before something interesting happens. I think the show would benefit from focusing more on the concepts and ideas of the games it’s adapting rather than just showing how innovative and revolutionary these games are that you could be playing instead of watching the show. I liked LDR because it used the little time it had to provide some amazing world-building and characters you can get attached to, but the episodes here barely do that. Otherwise, the animation is spectacular and the voice cast is great. I want to wait for the full set to come out before I decide my opinion.
