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.
Call me a dinosaur, but I actually prefer written reviews. Like, I don’t need 20 minutes+ of talking about something to know if I should buy it or not.
One channel I will shout out though is Graeldon because I think the gimmick of reviewing every Steam game in alphabetical order is quite funny.
