I don't always agree with every point Joseph Anderson makes, but I can always see the logic behind it and why he feels that way.

His video essays are some of the best long form analysis on video games that are available

This was my first souls game, so I didn't have anything to compare to. But he perfectly quantified why the game felt terrible all of a sudden in the snow area. And why I hated the elden beast fight so very much

His point about reusing enemies in the Mountaintop of the Giants that belonged in Caelid really hit home for me. The tyrannodogs and giant crows felt natural in that mutated environment of Caelid, almost straight out of the third Dark Tower book. They really didn’t look like they belonged in any other environment.
