I’ve been watching YouTube reviews from Pushing up Roses and enjoying it. Anyone else have some suggestions for other YouTube channels focusing on adventure game reviews, including those from the old school days, and let’s plays and commentary, basically anything adventure game related. Thanks!

I appreciate all the people that go to the trouble of submitting walkthroughs/let’s play that I probably on balance use more for quiz answers or looking for screenshots than helping me through a game! It’s only on occasion that I will refer to a review before buying a game & never from You Tube (sorry!) although it seems a good way to go if clips of the game are included!
As I remember Pushing Up Roses seemed to do a pretty good walkthrough for Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon judging from the parts I accessed but I can’t help thinking that if you want to promote particular You Tube contributors then this thread may get more response in ‘Chit Chat’!    Smile

Let’s Play and youtube personalities make me feel old Mini Frown  because I can’t see the appeal in them…

I do appreciate them when I’m looking for a specific scene of game

Edit: Oh wait, this is about youtube small reviews. Those I mostly like

Make yours seriously with commentary.

Pushing Up Roses and Lazy Game Reviews both do adventure games semi-frequently and are experienced with the genre. They’re also both incredibly likable people. Smile

Relaxed British lilt and a good sense of humor. He deserves way more than the 20 subs he currently has, and I’m not just saying that because he’s LPing Prominence.

Check out his playlists for Anna’s Quest, Dreamfall, Firewatch, J.U.L.I.A., The Longest Journey, Stasis, SOMA, Technobabylon, and a few others.

Yeah I can sort of relate, but! When you spend hours and hours working and it cuts heavily into your play time, it’s great when you can vicariously experience games you wouldn’t otherwise have the time to play through, and adventures are a particularly good fit for LPs.

One of the funniest Let’s plays I’ve ever seen is for Fable (1996), and the greatest thing is that it’s all without a spoken word - but in the form of annotations!

     

Recently finished: Four Last Things 4/5, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout 5/5, Chains of Satinav 3,95/5, A Vampyre Story 88, Sam Peters 3/5, Broken Sword 1 4,5/5, Broken Sword 2 4,3/5, Broken Sword 3 85, Broken Sword 5 81, Gray Matter 4/5\nCurrently playing: Broken Sword 4, Keepsake (Let\‘s Play), Callahan\‘s Crosstime Saloon (post-Community Playthrough)\nLooking forward to: A Playwright’s Tale

He has such a soothing voice, it`s a pleasure listening to his reviews. It`s a pity that he stopped.

I had uploaded old IE (interactive entertainment) cd-roms previews and reviews videos which was a gaming mag released on a cd-rom that lasted nearly 2 years in the mid-90s - the height of the fmv era. Old school games from an old school gaming preview & reviews.

It’s not a let’s play videos in nowadays since cd-roms were just new during those days and there’s only so much they can put on a cd-rom. Their reviews can be fairly amusing which covered a lot of genres during that time - RPG , sports , adventure etc.

A couple of review samples for adventure games -

Maabus (1994)

Noctropolis (1994)

Star Trek : A final unity (1994)

Frankenstein (1994)

Phantasmagoria (1995)

Gabriel Knight II (1996)
