Excellent series overall. The creator does an excellent job of building a new narrative distinct from the original, and the characters have a lot of chemistry together. If you're a fan of riffing on games for inconsistencies and irrational actors, you'd probably enjoy watching this.
u/Grasmel [+5] (3 hours later)
Yeah, this series is great. It's fun to watch if you haven't played the game, but even better if you have. It's its ownself-contained intelligent story, but at the same time inspired by/parodying the original.

I appreciate the social commentary later on. The setting is a feudalistic-captitalist dystopia, and they make good use of it to perform social commentary.
Episode 4 is when it really starts being acceptable.

Seen this before, but I may watch it again. Really fun show.

Is there any more stuff like this? Games where the narrative is exchanged for a funny yet consistent alternative I mean.

Abridged series. The absolute funniest of which is probably Sword Art Online Abridged, which turns the main character from a one-dimensional heroic archetype to an unloveable but hilarious total asshole who experiences such wonders as character development.

Pfffff no, the best abridged series is Helsing Ultimate abridged. Which is more or less the same but with Nazis instead of character development.
u/None [+1] (2 days later)
Okay. I will concede. Helsing Ultimate Abridged is funnier, but Sword Art Online Abridged is better, with more emotional range and story salvaged from some frankly pretty bland source material.

Not that I can recommend. If you're interesting in finding some, you might try going through the tvtropes page on abridged series.
