The simplistic style with the drawings is so cool. The narration is easy to hear and understand. Every single time I see one of these videos I click on them because I love hearing your voice, seeing the cool simplistic drawings, the philosophic questions + answers. I don't care if it took a week, a month, a year, I just want to watch a video with all these chill vibes, giving you information, but also not a complete video essay.

[@RawBerserker]

Truth be told, there'll never be a perfect game, and that's good. The thing that keeps innovation and evolution happening is the strive for that unachievable perfection. And then there's the subjective angle. Your perfect game may be an incredibly flawed badly aged game, but that makes it no less perfect. It's because of the things that led to the game being your favourite. Maybe you spent hours in line at the shop to get it and made a friend in line. That's part of the game. Maybe you had hundreds of games against your brother that bonded you together even more. That's part of the game. Maybe the game opened your eyes to your favourite genre, even if it's not the best example of it. That's part of the game. These videos are perfect too honestly. Amazing topics explained wonderfully with great presentation. Perfection is all around us.

THE KING HAS RETURNED

[@thisisthebananaman3176]

I haven’t seen any comments mention Outer Wilds yet, which is so far the best single player game I have played. It’s soundtrack is amazing and incredibly connected with the game itself, it has gameplay mechanics I have almost never seen before, and it has made me cry multiple times. I can’t say too much about it, as progression through it is entirely knowledge based. Basically you are a space archeologist/detective solving planet wide puzzles and mysteries. It may take up to an hour for the game to click but for everyone I have seen play it past an hour or two they always finish it. If you are on the fence just glance at the Reddit and avoid posts tagged with spoilers, the community is very careful about not spoiling anything.

[@FelixVyra]

This overall is fairly good analysis if you want to make a game but keep 1 thing in mind. Know Who You Are Making The Game For! Decide on a target audience and explore their mindset from a psychological point of view before you start designing anything. This is something that even big AAA developers get wrong way too many times, and what is probably the most important factor in determining how successful a game will be. Also explore, and play other games that were made or are highly enjoyed by your target audience. Take into consideration that if you are aiming to cover multiple audiences pick wisely. If you have to make game design decisions that are *"compromises"* so that multiple audiences can enjoy the game, you are already headed for failure. Avoid compromises in general. A compromise is a decision that makes both sides equally *unhappy*. Not one that makes people happy. Don't forget that audiences for whom the game is designed for includes the developers (profit, maintainability, possibility of DLCs) and can include content creators as well.

[@NoName-li1zs]

This has to be the most promising youtube channel on the platform right now, stable uploads, nice long time, very high quality and entertaining topics. Keep it up!

[@greengaleproductions]

Really great video! I knew of pretty much every game listed (except Escape the Backrooms); and I while I understand that they're all good, it's nice to understand WHY they're good (especially bc I've only played two of 'em, and haven't finished either one). Fantastic work yet again Arch.

[@derandere4356]

[@zakkdakiller9071]

Arch, I just want to say me and my close friends have started trying to make a game and we are still in the early stages like most of us getting unreal engine downloaded but a couple of us have already got the map rolling. Your videos have helped me so much with planning, writing, and visualizing the game. I know we're still in the early stages but at some point I'd like to throw you in as a character or an eg. Nonetheless I thank you, I thank you Arch. Have a great day

[@benmcreynolds8581]

If you feel up for it: Could you make a Part 2 to this Topic? In Part 2 could u please cover more aspects of what makes a good game. This one spent most of the time explaining what those few games were. No problem, but I'd love to see a part 2 that really points out the aspects of gaming that a lot of companies have forgotten about. Nowadays graphics, realism, or large open worlds are way too focused on. As well as online only multiplayer games that they find ways to keep making $ off of their game design & business strategy. I'd really like to see a core breakdown of what makes video games fun. There will always be layers of nuance to it depending on each persons interests but it's still a possible topic to approach and the gaming world could really use a refresh on it. I hope companies and devs can get in touch with these aspects of good games again..

God this man deserves more subscribers His intro is higher quality than most video games I swear How do you do this stuff

[@TheKingOfApples100]

I would add that Five nights at freddies did really well at mixing management with horror too. because your power is limited anything that makes you feel safer drains power that is very limited so you are always trying to skim extra power by being riskier which builds it's own tension and you keep draining power til the final hours where you're almost out and it's at it's peak of stress threat. Which makes for great moments of gameplay too when power is out and it's all dark final minutes and you are hoping for the best it either scares you at your weakest or it huge cheers at the ring of the end of the night. A very memorable and storyable moment.

[@MrSchnorkel]

Another game that did something special with restricting player movement similar to FNAF is New York Zombies for IOS (yes, a generic-titled mobile game). It's a first person shooter in which the player character shoots down incoming undead while remaining stationary. The trick is that you simply tap where you want to shoot instead of moving the camera to center a crosshair on your target. This makes so much more sense than how it's handled in other mobile shooters where you can only do two things from among moving, aiming and shooting at a time with your thumbs. It also straight up enables you to hit different targets much faster in succession than if you were using a computer mouse. The game's ending throws you for a bit of a loop which made it stick in my memory. The music also adds some serious atmosphere. N.Y.Z is one of the only mobile games that left such a lasting impression on me, next to the Hook Champ series. I encourage everyone to give it a go, assuming it can still be downloaded... Still got good memories of beating the survival mode by catching about seven jumping zombies mid-air with one railgun shot. The sequel simply named N.Y. Zombies 2 strayed from the formula by adding player movement, but it kept the tap-to-shoot mechanic. It played much more like a regular mobile shooter in which you travel through levels to reach objectives. It's strange how adding a game mechanic can make something a lot less special, just like the example of FNAF: Security Breach in this video.

I'd say add on top any game with difficult lore finds like stanley parable, powerwash simulator and indie games because under the case some people dont care about lore so it does not count as perfect but us interested in the lore will continue to play and share to find out more entire fanbases and players consist of people that just want to understand the convoluted story line behind some of these games and is always a cool thing to look into
