A confusing mess.

Working directly with game publishers, the show pulls from an oddball but also impressively global list, with titles like Chinese megahit Honor of Kings and Korean shooter Crossfire. I’m not kidding: the Pac-Man episode is probably the goriest in the entire series, turning a classic arcade game into a brutal survivor story with copious blood and death. One is set in the world of the now-infamous multiplayer shooter Concord, which was the most disastrous launch in PlayStation history, resulting in the abrupt closure of both the game and its development studio.
