The two off the top of my head are “Tyranny” and “The Banner Saga”:

Tyranny - the evil lord has taken over the world and all are subservient to him. The protagonist is an official who works for the evil lord who travels to sort out the various evil factions because obviously the evil factions don’t get along. The world is absolutely fantastic and the there’s something unique with the story. Your character has power and pretty much everyone has to listen to him. It’s dark, weird, and enjoyable.

The Banner Saga: Story of the end of the world in a cool Nordic fantasy section where giants and humans have termed up. Another really interesting world. The story is simple, but rich and extremely epic.

‘The Last of Us’ is essentially a movie within a video game, and it’s incredible.

So why make a tv show or movie about it?

Those would be horrible movies. Those games, while fun, are bastardizations of Tolkien.

Idk how they haven’t been able to do a serviceable halo series/movie

I think there is one in production for starz but haven’t heard anything recently.

If given the proper budget a movie series( or just series) would be amazing. You have the video game stories already done and there’s a bunch of books they could pull from.

My favorite sci-fi universe

I still think assassins creed, if done well, could be a great series or series of movies. Stick to the original storyboard and go.

Uncharted could be the new Indiana Jones.
