The world of video games and TV series are two worlds that many of us find captivating. Hours upon hours of content to keep us entertained. But what would happen if we combined the two? Today we've prepared a compilation of the best games based on TV series . So get ready, grab a pen and paper because we're sure you'll end up playing at least one of them.
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind
The first title we want to introduce to you is Peaky Blinders: Mastermind , which, given its name, needs little introduction as 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.

The Simpsons Game
Another of the most popular television series, although this one has been popular for many more years than the previous one, is The Simpsons. And, as you might expect, it also has its own game, which was released 14 years ago: The Simpsons Game.
In it we will embody each member of this beloved family, moving through the different well-known points of the city of Springfield: the nuclear power plant, Badulaque, Moe's bar and, of course, 742 Evergreen Terrace. In these places we will have to complete the missions that appear with the corresponding member of the Simpson family.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds
The next title takes us back a few years to when Buffy the Vampire Slayer was at its peak viewership during its fifth season. It was at this time that developer Eurocom seized the opportunity to release Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds.
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. Of course, being the adventure that it is, we had to kill as many underworld beings as possible in order to survive.

Lost: Via Domus
A few years after the launch of the previous title, the game dedicated to the quintessential series from 2005 to 2010 was released. As you might be imagining, it could not be other than LOST (or Lost, in its Spanish translation).
The game based on this story was Lost: Via Domus . In it, we played as one of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. This person, after the crash, has lost their memory, and our mission is to try to recover it while surviving on the island. It's an adventure where we'll have to explore, solve puzzles, escape the black smoke, and much more through the most popular locations from the series. Of course, we'll interact with characters like Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Locke, and a few others who roam the island.

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock
Lovers of the Battlestar Galactica series, if you missed the game in this series, you are in luck. And yes, we know that this is not the original story from the eighties, but this one has much better graphics to admire the Galaxy.
Thanks to this game, we'll be transported directly to the First Cylon War, where we'll fight in battles that will test our skills and dexterity. It's a turn-based combat title, where we'll pilot Viper MK II or Raptor starfighters. And, although it might seem a bit complicated at first, we'll gradually master the combat system and menus to enjoy a true galactic war thanks to Battlestar Galactica Deadlock.

The Walking Dead
It would be quite strange if, after all these years, you didn't know about The Walking Dead series. A series for lovers of the zombie apocalypse that fell in love with many viewers throughout all the years it was broadcast. Its success was such that it even had other derivative series called The Walking Dead: World Beyond and Fear the Walking Dead. As has happened with their video games, which are not few.
Some of them, perhaps the most interesting, could be The Walking Dead Survival Instinct or Walking Dead A Telltale Series.
Survival Instinct is a first-person action video game that serves as a prequel to the TV series. The plot revolves around Merle and Daryl Dixon, two brothers who, after their father's death, embark on a journey to Atlantis. Along their journey, they encounter groups of survivors and hordes of walkers who will try to kill them.
- Release date: 2013
- Genders: strategy, action
- Digital Platforms: Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, Wii U, PlayStation 3
However, the story told in Walking Dead: A Telltale Series unfolds episodically, much like the TV series itself. This particular story focuses on Clementine, a young girl who accompanies a prisoner to survive the walkers. In this title, dialogue takes precedence, and the adventure becomes somewhat secondary.
- Release date: 2012

Dr Who The Adventure Games
The Doctor Who series, considered a cult classic by many, also had a presence in the world of video games with Doctor Who: The Adventure Games . This consisted of five graphic adventures that could be played episodically.
Through these seasons, we will be able to experience moments like the one embodied in the first episode entitled: City of the Daleks. Here we are transported to the year 1963 thanks to the TARDIS, the well-known telephone booth. Planet Earth is in trouble because of the Daleks, so the doctor will have to get down to work with Amy to solve the problem.

Game of Thrones
We continue with another of the most well-known series in history: Game of Thrones. Its success, as with other titles we've already discussed, not only led to its long run with many seasons and episodes, but also to the release of several video games. Perhaps the most popular is Game of Thrones: Winter is Coming.
This first title is a real-time strategy-based role-playing game. Here we will have to build our base, expand the territory, recruit new characters, train our army and, all this, to defend ourselves or attack the enemies that surround us.

And, in addition, it is based on the episodes of the series The Coon, Coon 2: Hindsight, Mysterion Rises and Coon vs. Coon and Friends.
