With very rare exception, I avoid youtube channels with sponsors, especially channels that are doing impressions of generic youtube business models. Patreon has allowed many channels to make money without sacrificing too much of their content's integrity. Marcel Vos has a popular channel. He...

hrdboild has a strong list. Though I've never played a RollerCoaster Tycoon game, I have watched a bunch of Marcel Vos videos on youtube.

I haven't played Elden Ring, even though I've played Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro.

Both lists have great games, but Lowenherz has the 2D action I crave with Super Metroid and Mega Man X. Ocarina of Time and SMB3 don't exactly hurt either.

Dwarf Fortress scores a lot of points with me. I would have picked it if I weren't such a Kenshi head. I could play nothing but Virtua Fighter, Battle Garegga, and a story/legend generator like Dwarf Fortress or Kenshi, and be content.

Have you watched this one? It's really good. I've watched it many times. His Kenshi review is just as good too.

Professional critics should have special qualifications. Otherwise their reviews have little merit and are based on poor foundations; and aggregate scores have no meaning. Maybe that's fine if you understand why things are the way they are and can make judgements based on that knowledge, but...

If somebody says NBA Street Vol. 2 is the best sports game of all time, there's nothing you can do but compliment their taste.

If I were to rank your selections by my interest in them: 1. Final Fantasy VII 2. Metal Gear Solid 3. Deus Ex 4. Bushido Blade 5. Roller Coaster Tycoon 6. Interstate '76 7. Fallout 8. Riven 9. Alien Isolation 10. The Dig 11. Star Wars: TIE Fighter 12. Xenogears 13. The Settlers II 14...

Kenshi is more of a decision based game. The world is just punishing. Characters dying, losing limbs, being enslaved, it's just part of the game. The more you know the world, the easier it becomes to thrive. Here are a couple beginner tips. Athletics is the most important stat. Being able to...
