I haven't played but have heard of the games and how popular they are. So I can't comment on how accurate it is. As a stand alone Thriller TV series it's really well done. HBO don't spare expense on their shows and it is the same here. Huge sets really immerse you into the Post apocalyptic world of the future. Felt a lot like the Walking Dead sets in scale.
The cast is good especially the two lead characters. The story is interesting and will grip you. Although some episodes take place at different times occasionally with different characters but they really bring the story to life. Check it out whether you have played the games or not.

Undoubted leader of the pack when it comes to post-punk low-budget SF movies is, let's be honest, highly derivative, but makes up for this with sheer inventiveness and economical storytelling; unusually grim tone helps, too.

Future warriors from post-apocalyptic future arrive in 1984 Los Angeles; one is intent on killing hapless young waitress, the other seeks to protect her. Time travel plot is cleverly retooled as the basis of gritty action thriller; performances are much better than you might expect, too - you can't imagine anyone being more perfectly suited to their role than Arnold Schwarzenegger is here (and I don't say that very often). Every other film and TV series in this particular franchise ultimately does nothing but diffuse the impact of this brilliant movie.

Slightly predictable with a large Ego
Okay so I guessed the big twist, it was a longtime coming, and usually I can appricate a book even when I think I know what’s coming, they always plant little leads for active readers. But I guessed it way too early and I was a little more complicated than what I was thinking and I definitely want to read the next book to find out more, but it felt like I was forceably dragging myself to the end of this novel. I read it in two days, 470 pages, that takes dedication.
I’m in a huge dystopian kick right now and this is the most cut and dry post-apocalyptic one that I’ve seen so far, so kudos. I know I’m rambling, it’s early.

I must be one of the few people who hadn't actually played this the first time around (in the PS3 era): truth be told, I've never really got the pop culture love for Zombies.

However, I knew it was by the team behind the Uncharted games, and so picked it up when it was part of the PSN free games package, and thought I would give it a whirl. Now I've finished it, I have to say: I still prefer the Uncharted games.

Detailing the trials and travails of pottie-mouthed Ellie and Joel in a post-apocalyptic (pandemic?) world, there's no denying the skill and attention to detail put into the plot"; it's just a pity I found the game to be very 'samey' after a while.
