    I’m glad to see Yahtzee is still doing actual critical reviews. There’s a shortage of that these days.

      It’s pretty much all he does unless he finds an Obra Dinn-tier darling.

      Except for Gollum, he was weirdly defensive of that for a game that pulled every AAA anti-consumer trick in the book without at least the decency to be bland.

        Yeah, I don’t know who’s thinking Yhatzee is only doing positive reviews. I watch him regularly but I always keep in mind that it could be a 10/10 game that everyone loves and his show is predominantly about shitting on games so he’ll tear it to shreds for entertainment.

        showcasing why i stopped watching ZP years ago. not that yahtzee had to always come up with a new theme song, but like nothing about the format has changed since he joined The Escapist a decade ago.

      Neither have I. Last of his I watched was for Eve. “Bored, bored, bored, eye strain” was all I remember, and that’s right on the money (for Eve Online). Might have to start watching his videos again, didn’t know he’s on YouTube now.
