Also as game adaptations, "Halo" and "The Last of Us" received very different reviews. The latter is known as a monument to the game drama, and the former is complained by players as a "waste of opportunity". Recently, a player on Reddit posted about why Halo failed.
One comment with 10,000 likes read: "This is definitely a long-existing project, a raw fit for Halo". Many players support this statement because its plot and character setting are too mediocre.
The Master Chief taking off his helmet is another hot topic of fan discussion, and the success of "The Mandalorian" without letting the audience see the character's face is even more valuable. Many viewers said they didn't mind Master Chief taking off his helmet, but they couldn't go without wearing it for the entire episode.
Some netizens believe that the "ratio of action and dialogue" in "The Last of Us" is very worthy of reference from "Halo". The urgency in the plot of the latter game is more suitable for movies, while live-action dramas need to slow down the pace so that they can be better divided into episodes and seasons.
