This review is so strange… When you review a game you need to speak to the audience like they’ve ever played at least one other game. You don’t need to list the buttons in the menu or controls unless there is something interesting about them. Comon: there are hundreds of games being released every day. I can’t look through a 13 minute review with “now I know how to walk and jump” and “now there is a new enemy that works similarly to the last enemy”. A review is something that makes a viewer interested in the game in a short form: you need to tell us about your emotions from the game, what’s good, what’s not. It’s not a let’s play video with a commentary on top. Viewers need to know WHY they need to try the game themselves (or why they shouldn’t), not a list of every single thing you’ve seen in the game. It’s just a waste of everybody’s time, sorry
I see your points from the above, in some cases running through the menu there are features I refer back to, though I see that standard format doesn't always work if there isn't anything. My comment on the controls was the fact they had so many options to do the same thing which could have been easier by listing them rather than making me poke buttons, since the tutorial didn't really list them. Doing a linear overview is intended to give the viewer a bit of info on each level to tie into my analysis points, like it wouldn't make much sense to say the variety of mechanics and enemies work or the difficulty progression works well without any context of the progression or what mechanics and enemies are in the game. I'll definitely work on cutting down the verbage to keep it relevant for a slicker review. I've tried to get a stable format to make my reviews fair but appreciate in some cases this can lead to spare info not really needed. Appreciate your comment!
The chiptune track is on point I must say.
Lava and bats. Ideal.
