One of my favorite YouTube game critics explores every single Fallout game and their place within a collective idea of what the franchise has been and currently is.

Brother why would you watch a 10 hour video. Just play the game at that point.

Yeah, I feel like I gave the impression this is just a full gameplay video or something. It's not, it's a critical analysis.

He does essentially review each game, but he also talks about stuff like the different paradigms of art in games: narrative, gameplay, choice, environmental design and storytelling, as well as their intersections (or their lack). For this series especially, he highlights those elements in contrast between the Interplay/Obsidian games and the Bethesda games.

I'm not actually interested in playing the games, but I love this kind of critique.
