I love watching game reviews on YouTube, but I find many reviewers sharing these annoyances:
- Loud background music making it difficult to listen to the actual review
- Spending way too much time talking about the story. I only want to know the theme of the story, not the entire plot
- Making it a game tutorial. It is helpful to briefly describe the game mechanics so I can find out whether the game is for me. But it becomes excessive when you explain it in detail.
What I want to hear more:
- Whether the game is good
- How it compares with other games in the genre
- How is the music in the game?
Game channels I like/recommend:
TheKisekiNut, JohnRiggs, MortismalGaming, davidvinc, gameranx, ircha
Can someone recommend other good gaming channels? I especially like retro games.
I love seeing activity in this community, I really like this one even though I’m bad at contributing personally (though that’s not just in this community but in general).
I share your frustrations but I don’t know that I have any great recommendations. These days I’m mostly a patient gamer, so I can largely forgo reviews and simply play games that have an easily accessible consensus on their quality.
