The following is my feedback alone. I like to remind people when I do share it, that these are my thoughts alone and I as one viewer may not make up the general opinion of your viewing demographic.

Additional note: These comments will be addressed towards your Land before Time video, since I am outright avoiding anything Undertale related.

The Good:
Fairly decent camera presence all things considered. You maintain eye contact, rarely use jump or quick-cuts to hide notable mistakes or retakes and come across as confident in what you are saying.

Editing is simplistic and is relevant to your comments and jokes. I’d maybe try and use more of the actual games OST than just random jingles from a variety of games. But that is more so a personal preference than one related to the content itself.

Audio balance is fine for the most part.

The Bad:
Your attempts at humour fall under so many YouTube clichés; I was honestly expecting some “MLG Horns” and the screen to turn red when you got angry at the gameplay. I am not denying I’ve done any of those things in the past, but your video is very much the definition of YouTube video-game reviews 101. There is no shame in being inspired by the likes of JonTron, PBG, Caddie and many others… But there is inspiration and borderline imitation. You fall into the latter.

Overall:
It’s very apparent that you are passionate and enjoy what you make, but you lack enough originality to really stand out among the vast amount of channels on this forum, let alone on YouTube in general. I’d maybe consider sharing scripts with friends or fellow creators, before finalising for production. I want to see more “Gary” and less “Jon”

Thanks Man, yeah my buddy Adam told me the same thing, I've definitely have been trying share my scripts a little more than I used to. I am still very much trying to find my own style and trying to break away from the old cliche Humor, it's hard but I'm sure with some help I'll be able to do it. Glad that you're honest with me.

I think you have a ton of potential! It's clear you're not shy behind the camera, which is good. I agree that some of the jokes fell a little flat for me, but other than that, well done.

I just finished your Land Before Time video, not too bad!
Towards the end of the video some of the background music seemed a little too loud compared to the voice over I thought.
And I'd sadly have to say most of the jokes didn't do it for me but that's all subjective!
Not bad though! Finding your own footing regarding style takes time and will eventually come through perseverance and practise so keep at it!
You've already got some good editing skills to put things together so it'll happen.

Land Before Time review:

Jokes fall flat most of the time, but that's just my taste in humor I suppose.
Could use some more variety for background music. Big offender: Mumbo's Mountain. I'm glad to hear some of my favorite tracks, but it just feels off when you're reviewing a lighthearted game while playing Storm Eagle and Super Mario RPG's Boss level.
Your style definitely is heavily inspired by a lot of other YouTubers so it's kind of hard to distinguish you.

Overall: Review is pretty solid, and editing is nice. Just gotta find your personality for these vids, and I'm no different as I'm still looking for mine.

Hey Gary! Just watched your Spyro tips video. I like your voice and even your straight up talking to the camera. Good presentation in that respect. My biggest complaint (seems to be my pet peeve) is the length. I think the pacing could improve. Maybe organize your thoughts a little better with a list or bullet points visible in the video itself with an intro then summary. You could generalize your tips a bit more to have less of them overall, provide quick examples, and then summarize BOOM DONE. Not a lot of people are going to want to watch tips for a 15+ year old game unless it's 1.Entertaining and/or 2.Short and sweet. Not a lot of entertainment value here, so work with what you got.
