We're past the days when every video game to film adaptation proved a massive dud. Some TV Shows based on games are genuinely great.

I haven't watched Sonic Boom or TLOU.

As for the Witcher, I've watched a few episodes and found the writing and direction just cringe. It's also based more on the books than the game as far as I've seen (which I've read and liked).

I'm not a Castlevania fan. I'm judging solely the show here. Watched 2 seasons and gave up. Visually it does make clever use of resources, they've nailed the colour and bloom effects and they can pull off action scenes with very limited framerate animation so hats off for that, however the characters go off model frequently and it shows that it's hastily made ( budget reasons I guess). The writing kills it for me, the characters and story feel very shallow.

Arcane is a really good show. Solid writing, acting, action, animation, and it's also visually stunning. There was a lot of talent and effort dedicated to it and it shows. At the time of its release the painterly style was very innovative as well the techniques used to achieve that. I would also vote it n1.
