    It looks kinda good but do you all feel like dunkey is kinda overhyping stuff lately?

      Dunkey became a bit much some time before his gaming company thing. I’m not sure what it is, but something changed and I just couldn’t watch his stuff again.

        I think it’s the same problem Wes Anderson kinda suffers. They’re trying to do their thing in the way their audience expects them to.

        And I don’t really think either is playing a caricature of themselves, there’s real creativity at play. But the creative risks are mitigated by relying on their set style, which makes it safe to consume but often not that exciting. I find Dunkey’s reviews usually pretty interesting, whether I agree with them or not. But this poetry felt closer to an ad than an honest review.

        Same. I still click most of the time but I don’t enjoy as I used to. Like I got bored of this review pretty fast. I fast fowarded to the end to see if he kept this poem style going untill the end.

        Meh, whatever.

      I think he just really loves this game? The game is at 87 open critic rating, overwhelmingly positive (96) on Steam. This game is just genuinely adored by a lot of people.

      I agree that it’s probably hard for dunkey to continue his schtick when he is starting to raise a kid. A review for a game trying to just maintain rhyming feels a little forced.

      I can only laugh imagining Dunkey’s child playing League of Legends in front of him.
