The world of video games and TV series are two worlds that drive many of us crazy. Hours and hours of content in which we can entertain ourselves with its consumption. But what would happen if we mixed both? Today we have prepared a compilation with The best games based on TV series. So get ready, grab some paper and a pen because we're sure you'll end up playing one of them.
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind
The first title that we want to present to you is Peaky Blinders: Mastermind that, seeing its name, few presentations need the series on which it is based.
It is a game based on post-war Britain, just like the series itself. A difficult time from which a gang of gangsters who want to dominate the roost emerges, the Peaky Blinders. A game full of puzzles, strategy and adventures in which we will have to accompany Tommy in his ascent. We will also have to control different members of the Shelby family while intertwining their paths so that their actions are coordinated.

In it we played Buffy, Spike, Xander, Faith and Willow at different points through history. With them we lived moments of action, exploration through the dark settings or even occasions in which we had to concentrate to solve puzzles and riddles that did not make it easy for us.

The game based on this story was Lost: Via Domus. In it we played one of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. A person who, after the accident, has lost his memory and our mission is to try to recover it while we survive on the island. An adventure in which we will have to explore, solve puzzles, run away from black smoke and much more through the most popular settings of this series.
