  It’d be really cool if at some point you have recap vids of the games from this series that you continued playing and did quick reviews of them past the 2hr mark

  I can't imagine only playing 2 hours on a city builder.  I lose days when I find one I like lol

  This is by far one of my favourite channels right now. I love this series!

  Two point hospital: there's a staff tab that shows you who is working where and lets you disallow certain jobs for certain staff. You can also disallow them from leaving the rooms they're assigned to but it lowers their happiness. The weird AI never gets better lol

  I forget if I've commented this before but I love this format. When you're only playing the first 2 hours, you get to look at what issues and strengths the game will have from the outset, without having so much information it'll bog someone down. I think this format is a genius way of reviewing and recommending games. Toss on a fantastic personality and voice for this kind of thing, I hope these expensive videos pay for themselves for you xD

  Just have to say, not only do I love the subject of your videos, I love how you approach games and the things you note and talk about, and how you try and find good points about even the worst games.  I also find your voice soothing so if you could please make more videos that'd be great!

  So happy to see Dwarf Fortress made it into this video. Been playing it off and on since 2007, and it's probably my most played game of all time. Also a game famous for its incredibly wild changelog notes, because of how deep the simulation goes and how nuts some of the bugs can get. Anyone who somehow isn't familiar, look up the old Eurogamer video on the bug that was causing cats to die. (Don't worry, the bug was fixed!) The depth of the game just goes so far beyond any other game in existence, and it's not even close to "finished" yet.

  Friendly feedback: first off great job! When you get to the end of your review especially when you like it, repeat the name of the game instead of “this is one I’ll sink more time into”.   Like you do a great job starting out with the name of the game, but on these longer videos, and after we like what we hear, just repeat the name of the game. If not I’m rewinding etc.  that way it’s easier for us to wishlist it or go buy it.  Great job homey!

  Frost Punk is one of the best games that I've played in the city builder genre. Took a while to grasp, but when you do - MAN. Amazing.

  I sadly miss Wandering Village. It's a really great city-building game, in my opinion. What's special about it is that you build the city on the back of a giant animal (Onbu), which moves through a world with varying levels of poisoning. So you have to keep an eye on what the next biome is like. And you have to take care of not only the inhabitants but also the Onbu. On the plus side, there are no enemies to fight.

  One gem that was missing from the list is Songs of Syx. It has multiple races, all with their own preferences and you can choose which ones to recruit. It is still in late stages of early access. If you want to try it out, the demo version of it is actually full game, just older version.
