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.

Well, there's an audience for it. I love long-form critiques, to the point where I'm generally less inclined to bother with anything less than around 45 minutes because it's just not enough time to explore anything with the kind of depth that interests me the most (that's a pretty loose rule though, some topics can be incredibly interesting but just don't need a long-form analysis).

This essay actually covers about...9 games in the series I think? (1, 2, Tactics, Brotherhood of Steel, 3, New Vegas, a mobile game, 4, and 76). That includes all DLC as well, so it averages about 1-1.5 hours per game (variably, BoS and the mobile game both get significantly less time). And it is split into chapters with the YouTube feature.

I do know that's still not appealing for everyone. I appreciate the top comment on the video: "Sweet baby Jesus."
