Slow? No. Their channel is based on reviewing older titles, not about reviewing recent ones.

Depends on how long you are prepared to wait for a Limbo of the Lost review before buying.

Great review, literally just finished watching it before I opened Gaf, lol.
This really makes me wanna replay that game again. I remember loving it so much that I bothered getting 100% achievements on Steam for it. Definitely one my favorite games of all time.

Love watching this dude's videos, great reviewer. That said, I guess I shouldn't watch this one before playing the game, right?

I fucking love the videos this guy makes.
His Marathon Trilogy and the Pathways in to Darkness videos were absolutely astounding.
It's a huge bummer about that Bungie rumor with how they're re-engaging with Marathon as some sort of nonsense when they themselves have a ton of material to work with to make some really cool games with it. At this point it doesn't even clash with Halo anymore so I wish and I hope they would rethink their Marathon plans.

This applies to every review coming out of IGN. That outlet has minuscule crediblility and yet it has major influence over some gamers' spending habits.
Didn't know games carried an expiration date after a certain year and aren't meant to be visited or played past that.

I know many people told you already, but there are many reviewers out there that focus on older or more obscure games.
Some of my favs are RunningShine, GrimBeard, Civvie11, SsethTzeentach and the already posted Mandalore. In fact, those plus the Internet Historian are the only channels I'm subscribed to.

I like Mandalore. But he and other YouTube reviewers suffer by over-writing their videos. Their delivery could use some work, or maybe there's no natural way to say what they've written. Similar to the reasons people criticize the dialog in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Take this line:
"And any sound of combat will likely attract the attention of more Joes. Not using an item or a weapon on a human could save you when you're facing off against the back page entry of a Sears catalog."
It's not meant to be a gut-buster, but something about knowing it's pre-written requires a more natural delivery to "work" and it just sounds awkward. Digital Foundry and SuperBunnyHop come to mind with this, too. A nitpick, but something hard not to notice.

One of the ebst horror games ever made. Its even more insane when you watch the first movie and then play the game at how incredibly accurate the sound design and the environmental objects are. Crazy.

This post made me roll my eyes harder than any awkward delivery in his reviews.

I want a PS5/PSVR2 version so bad. What a masterpiece of a game.

It would be nice if it came with a physical copy for the Nintendo Switch.
I have it on GOG. they just released it a few months ago there.
Alien: Isolation Collection
Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosp
It's about $50 but it goes on sale a lot for around $12 so you can wait until then if you want.

An actual Warhammer 40,000 game I've never heard of or some kind of knock-off?

That is a major problem with the series. It's almost always the same xenomorph.
One reason I liked Prometheus so much is that it changed up the story and was about the progenitors of the xenomorph.
I like to see a movie about that giant chest hugger that kills one of the Engineers near the end of the movie.

Had to look him up.
I see he’s a reviewer at IGN who gave this a 5.9.
I see that he was liking it at first, but then got annoyed with the repetitive hide and seek and constant dying. He played on “difficult” level. So that’s why. Why couldn’t he drop the difficulty to normal? Cuz the game suggests “difficult” for the “real experience”? C’mon.
And I see he tweeted five years later AND he tweeted six years later defending his review, telling others to “stop complaining about my review, it’s been six years”
I knew nothing about any of this
