In an interview to The Hollywood Reporter, Craig praised Neil Druckmann, calling him “the finest storyteller working in the video game medium.”
Meanwhile, Neil said he loved and admired Craig’s approach to the narrative. “With Chernobyl, Craig and HBO created a tense, harrowing, emotional masterpiece. I couldn't think of better partners to bring the story of 5 to life as a television show,” he added.
