Gaming Retrospectives & Video Essays
About
Modeled on [email protected]
This community is for long-form video game analysis, especially retrospectives, though videos on any era of gaming are permitted.
Rules
- Content of posts
All top-level posts should be a link to a long-form gaming video essay that isn’t hosted behind a paywall. Videos at least 1-hour in length are preferred.
- Title format
Each post title should include the title of the video, its creator, and its duration in the format [MM:SS] or [HH:MM:SS].
- SWF
No pornographic images or videos.
- post decent content
Noticeably low-quality content and videos that stretch any reasonable definition of “video essay” will be removed. If you’re not trying to break this rule, you probably aren’t.
- No spam
Don’t post the same video multiple times in a short time frame. Don’t flood the community with many videos from a single creator at once.

Yeah, I bought it last year. For some reason I was really excited for it even though it had been out a few years and I hadn't heard pretty much anything about it. Idk, just seemed boring as hell to me. I got all the way to monarch, then figured if I hadn't had any fun with it yet I probably wasn't going to.
Cant say I blame you, nor can I really say that there's anything waiting near the end to make you want to play it again, even if I could remember anything besides disappointment.
Made all my hype for Avowed drop like a rock.
I'll be honest until I heard controversy about people thinking that avowed was going to be shit & obsidian saying it'll be "good guys dont worry!" I didn't even know it existed, until like a week or two ago lol.
That's because the whole project went dark for 4 or 5 years pretty much. Suddenly they're talking about it again, and the say it'll be just like The Outer Worlds...
