    Can I give one suggestion though? I really like your review scoring vs the traditional number style, however sometimes I have to rewatch the rating segment because I can’t tell if it was “Buy” or “Wait for sale.” That wasn’t case with this game as you clearly stated that it’s worth the money. Maybe you could put a graphic on the screen during the conclusion segment, just to be 100% clear what your recommendation is? Just my opinion. Loved the review, really excited for the game, and keep up the great work!

    Great review, but I feel like it really could've done with some examples of the music and voices. You spent a lot of time trying to describe the voices in particular, but I never heard them in the video. If you'd just describe it a bit and then play a few seconds of the game audio, it'd be much more efficient than attempting to explain it. It's a video review, not a written one, so you might as well take advantage of the format.
