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’d much rather read a review. Takes 2 minutes. I don’t want to listen to some randomer trying to be funny and dragging out their video for way too long.
