Head to www.squarespace.com/whitelight for 10% off with code "Whitelight". It feels good to return to Assassin's Creed. It will feel even better if Mirage makes this video the first part of a finished story.

"why is this franchise so sickened by it's own potential". Beautifully written script man, really enjoyed this video. I think this is the best critique I've ever seen of AC's parkour throughout the years. Really enjoyed your script and the arguments you made, it's cool to see someone have such a deep and intimate understanding of this franchise.

The amount of money I would pay for Ubisoft to watch this video. Just fkin incredible.

Thing about Unity is: the animations are so slick and well made, that even when Arno does something I didn't intend, I still think "yup, I totally meant to do that cool move"

"Why is this franchise so sickened by its own potential?" You took something i have been feeling for a long time and put it into words.

I just spent an hour watching a guy talking about a franchise that never reached its potential and I do not regret it. Community may struggle another 15 years, but we will not stop. Great video. I hope Ubisoft sees this.

"The height has never been reached" this is pretty much true for almost every Ubisoft game ever. I remember being fond of their courage (back in the day) to pursue different ideas for games, hence giving them rights over many cool IP's like AC, Tom Clancy games, and Far Cry. They had the visions for each games, but now everything has to be safe and profitable, and painfully-obviously similar to one another.

One of the best critiques I have seen on Assassin's Creed, I hope you will see it reflected in viewership, comments or sheer enthusiasm from us fans.

The last bit made me unbelievably sad. I even got chills. Every word in that speech hurt like arrows, yet I knew all of those were spot-on. Very well written video

This is an absolute banger, you didn’t lie when you said I’d remain intact. Feels like the first genuine critical take on the mechanical side of AC I’ve seen in a WHILE. You nailed it, totally and completely nailed it, and with style too.

An hour of Assassin's Creed content from Whitelight? What a way to start the month

i couldnt have described the parkour of unity better. I keep coming back to it because of the incredible potential for those super satisfying and beautiful parkour clips even if it is only a few seconds.

Ac 3’s movement felt so satisfying in terms of animation. It was very smooth. I loved how Connor had such quick movements and how when moving or in a fight he had a sort of low posture giving me the thought of how silent but deadly he is. I especially loved moving through the Frontier all alone and just stalking guards from tree tops with the amazing assassin robes to compliment the scene and to add to the immersion, moving slow, like a leopard creeps up on its prey.

A beautiful video to listen to, backed up by solid examples. This is essentially exactly what I would make, if ever I were to approach a video just like it. Accurate praise _and_ critique of the classic system, accurate critique of the ones that came after, I just can't ask for anything more. I've never watched another discussion on Assassin's Creed movement-systems that constantly had me saying "Yes. Yes, he _gets_ it," the entire time.

I really miss watching free running in assassin creed games. Unity had such fluid movement that it's so fun to look at.

1:05:22 I love how you reference the quote from the beginning scene of Revelation as you're letting it's video and OST play. "I am weary of this fight Claudia. Not because I am tired. But because it feels like every step we take leads to further chaos." I don't remember the exact quote that Ezio said, but I love how you matched your own script with it.

For a video that had the most deeply critical analyses of the games, it made me appreciate and love a depth of mechanical skill I never got to see. This isn't a vicious teardown of a dusty old franchise, it's a forlorn exhibition of beautiful systems and tragically lost opportunities. It's also a show of how strong your script style is cause this paragraph's got to be the most eloquent thing I've written in a month.

Having seen almost every whitelight video, this is his very best in my humble opinion. This is so well written and articulated that I wouldn't be surprised if they showed to this to the devs at ubisoft as a guide to what works and what doesn't in the past games. Too often video game critiques are talking in vague platitudes and generalizations. There's none of that here. Never have I seen someone make such clinically precise and accurate points.

So, a perfect assassin's creed game would need to have: - have multiple viable ways of transportation, with running, parkouring and environmental picks(horses, gondolas,etc) - a better key mapping system with consistent controls - complex level terrain, with relatively flat areas as the easy area, then as elevation grows it difficulty also grows + rivers need to have a perfect combinations bettwen parkourable areas and gaps so that they can create an actual challange - Timers and chasing events that actually challenges you with tight timers and fast enemy runners - The notoriety system should be 1:1 copied from AC3, a lot of enemies with fast runners after you, actual streed blockades, when you kill an enemy you maintain momentum

The biggest appeal ac had back in the day to me was that it felt like real life parkour. The freedom to plot your route and perfect your movements to maximize speed felt exactly like real life, and captured my attention for over a decade

I came to this video thinking it would be just a general recap of the parkour system, but ended up watching a brilliantly written and in depth essay about it, edited in a incredible and smooth way. Thank you for this amazingly entertaining video, couldn't agree more with what you said. You earned a new subscriber!

That last minute with final overview of the entire series heavily inspired by Ezio's letter to Claudia really did it for me. Wondering about what Mirage might hold for us, whether it will try to move forward armed with the knowledge of the past 15 years to become something greater... Or merely try to recreate what was lost, to re-discover the features left behind by the Ones That Came Before without learning their valuable lessons, destined to repeat their unfortunate fate.

I put more hours into Assassins Creed 1 than any of the original trilogy and you’re correct: I had NO IDEA that vault mechanic was a thing. It looks awesome and so useful! I’m really glad you decided to make a video focusing on what was initially the coolest part of the entire series! I feel like you’re the resident expert of this series at this point.

Just realized The fact that AC has been to Rome already makes it even more clear Bayek should have gotten a trilogy. Yes we would be retreading old ground, but it would be from 2 totally different time periods. Imagine how much would have changed between Bayek's time and Ezio's time. How many parkour and social stealth mechanics they could have given Bayek for his 2nd and final games. It would essentially be what AC Mirage is looking to be now, but better.

Ok, very nice touch parodying Ezio’s letter to his sister from Revelations in your closing lines

Really excellent video. You hit pretty much every single nail there is to hit directly on the head. The only minor correction I have to offer is in relation to the Hookblade wallrun finishers in Revelations. The finishers trigger when specific patterns for wall height and handhold locations are met. They are relatively consistent, but they take a trained eye to recognize them and an even more trained eye to be able to do so on the fly. I’ll have to make a video explaining that sometime.

Omg the ending! Yes, thank you for putting into words how i think a lot of us long-time fans really struggle to get across. We don’t “hate” AC now cos we’re just pesky purists, we’re frustrated by the promise the franchise showed time and time again that never amounted to anything. Plotlines that went nowhere, mechanics that got taken out, so many disappointments, so much unrealised potential, and that only exacerbated our desire for more. AC has always been hated. People constantly saying how much they hated Desmond and the tailing missions and the steep learning curve for parkour until Ubisoft decided they too should hate the very same things that make the franchise what it is. And it’s such a sad sight to behold, knowing like you said so many of these things could’ve amounted to something but never did.

Brilliant video, this guys a master with his words and has us sat here watching parkour reviews from 15 year old games for a whole hour. Nobody else could manage that, these videos are masterfully worded

Never played AC, but I've done parkour for the past 7 years. It is a pleasant surprise to see a non-practitioner making an hour long video essay about our sport (even if it is in the context of a video game)

At first I was disappointed that this video wasn't a conventional "15 years later" retrospective on AC 1 but I now see that this is much better than that would've been.

Man, I hope beyond fucking hope that at least one person actively involved in the development of Mirage (especially its movement) catch their eye on this video through whatever means and take the words to heart.

I became a competitive parkour athlete because of Assassin’s Creed. It flung me on a journey I’m still on today, which began by mimicking these general movements. I owe a massive part of my personal and physical development to this series. I also didn’t realize the full depth of AC1’s movement suite until this video. It’s so deep!

This guy always knows how to put into words exactly what is wrong and how to fix it! As a huge AC fan it's so nice to have such long, well thought out, and entertaining videos about the franchise! Thank you Whitelight! ❤

Assassins creed was actually one of the most impactful pieces of media on me as a kid. It gave me my love of rock climbing and parkour. It made me love the idea of being able to climb things.

This man has unlocked eagle vision for game design

Seeing that vault mechanic makes me want to play AC1 again with it… what a shame I found out about it 15 years later lol

Man, arguably one of the best reviews I've ever seen of any game... And just like you said, I had absolutely no clue about the vault mechanic in AC1, and I have finished the game two full times... I didn't play any games in the series after 3, but I truly hope Mirage can be what all the others failed to be.

Man. So many KZfaqrs want to make video essays without knowing how to talk about it - or even worse, without much to talk about. Here you got both. This is a very well written video and very well edited. Thank you so much, it was a pleasure to watch.

43:38 "Let me put Arno into context." Then the music hitting hard with the viewpoint of Notre Dame... just beautiful.

That ending was absolutely beautiful and emotional. A great parody/ reference to the Revelations trailer.

You writting skills never disapoints, but 1:03:52-1:04:14 is one of those quotes of yours that I'll always remember. Despite never having played a single assassin's Creed game and only knowing it from reviews, essays or Parkour videos, this one reference somehow gave me nostalgia and feels from a series that don't even know that much !

In AC3 you can roll past blockades by mashing B, and it's impossible for musket fire to hit you while sprinting, adding yet another extrinsic reason to avoid the rooftops Black Flag has thieves! They don't spawn very often, but they're pretty fun to chase across the rooftops with the Kenways' less convoluted control scheme, at least until the snap detection breaks and sends you diving into the ocean 30 meters off target You can jog in the Kenway saga either by holding right trigger halfway and left stick all the way, or by holding right trigger all the way and left stick halfway. This will prevent you from accidentally engaging the parkour system as long as you don't mess up the inputs push either axis just a little too far. Kid Ratonhnhaké:ton even has a unique animation! If you play mouse and keyboard however, you're out of luck because this feature is unavailable The climb leaps in the Kenway saga are automated You can avoid side hopping by releasing high profile. The reason we call it side hop and not side eject is because of its limitations outside its maximum range and verticality. It has some legitimate advantages like more consistent stair-seeking across the same horizonal plane, but to account for every possible situation you'd need to be able to choose between both options You can recover from an accidental dive lache by releasing left stick and holding high profile to climb back up. It's slow, but it's better than wildly overshooting. Being able to choose between climbing and swinging on any NSO also adds some depth to ascents without having to rely on the janky wallruns as much I'm here to remind you that you can climb without leaping in Syndicate by releasing high profile. I know you know this because we've spoken about it before, but understandably some things slip through the cracks lol Dallin_S has been experimenting with some camera-controlled automation in Syndicate recently. It still feels wonky as hell to me, but he has enough evidence to prove he's onto something You can stop the rope launcher, and not just with an air assassination. You can cancel out with B, one of the only two ways to do anything legitimately dangerous in this game. This is where the flow comes from in Syndicate, transitioning from rope to parkour at will. You can't get it to target the object you actually want to go to in any sort of reasonable timeframe, so you get it close enough above that point, then time out a cancel to hopefully execute your plan without the training wheels getting you stuck

that last line in context made me tear up ... for a game .. made by a greedy corporation. this is the power of entertainment content

44:25 having been to Paris (2019) it is indeed quite accurate to the real atmosphere, although it has changed a lot since 1790 (mostly due to Baron Haussmann's reforms). I can say without hesitation that it is the best city map in any video game I have played. But I also feel the city of Paris is uniquely suited to parkour. French balconies, steep rooves, tight-knit building blocks etc. make it quite easy

Damn. This video is the reason i keep coming back to AC 1. That freedom, that success, the beauty of parkour. Thanks Whitelight for bringing me back to this nostaligic game.

Whitelight with another Assassin’s Creed video? Christmas has come early boys and girls.

I clicked on this vide, did not notice it was one hour long until I was 10 minutes in, and then smiled ear to ear knowing that I was in good hands for the next 50 minutes love you, Whitelight

Ubisoft are masters at taking making games mere inch's away from being masterpieces before proceeding to tear that potential apart one release at a time in the desire to copy whatever the hot new trends are and simplifying everything.

this video is perfect. i actually nearly cried. i grew up with this series. Ubi broke my heart.

The writing quality for this script is actually wild and adds an artistic note to the video which really takes it to the next level with regards to quality

Have I played a second of AC in my life? No. Will I absolutely savor this video over a cup of coffee? Absolutely.

Ok, this video was incredible! Well done sir!! So much depth and effort put into analyzing and thinking about the aspect of this series that made me stoked in the first place, the parkour gameplay. I remember playing the Prince of Persia trilogy, back in 2005, as a teenager, and imagining what could be next, how can they improve on this? Then 1 year later seeing the first gameplay trailer of AC and being so inspired by the possibilities, specially in the light of the new console generation. Now here we are, 15 years later, having a big picture view of everything that happened since, everything the series accomplished, and everything that never came to be, or was lost on the way, and everything we experienced playing them. Your video have bring me back some fond memories and inspirations from those years past, I really hope that AC Mirage can carry this light and inspiration forward, if not Ubisoft, maybe some other studio could.

This video was pure nostalgia, hearing the different soundtracks made me feel the thrill I’ve always felt at the games high points, I’ve always wanted to 100% every game, but nowadays there’s too many with the new once being way too full with mostly repetitive content… Thanks whitelight, did not expect a assassin’s creed video at this point, this video felt like taking the journey again, even as a parkour analytic video, good work!

I'm really glad you decided to return to AC content, I've watched your Unity video 3 times now, simply because I love the B-roll footage of you running around parkouring all over the place!

I have never felt more understood watching a video than watching this video. Thank you so much for making this masterpiece, I don't think there's a person who could have made this video better than you. It's such a weird thing to say, but the video about parkour systems in a video game series made me feel such a wide range emotion, it made me tear up multiple times and it was caused from both specters of emotions. AND THE ENDING!!! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU USE MY FAVORITE ASSASSIN'S CREED THEME, AND THE WRITING FROM ONE OF THE BEST SPEECHES FROM THE GAME TO HYPE ME UP FOR MIRAGE??? Seriously though, such a fantastic video, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I know this video is a year old but I just wanted to say how much I loved this in depth look but also how well spoken you are. I've been recommended your videos multiple times, and shame on me for never taking the time to watch before now. Great video, bro. I plan on watching all your ac retrospectives. Subbed

This is without a doubt the best AC video I've ever seen. I just finished a playthrough of AC1, and everything you said is so on point and educational.

Why man?...why do I always randomly get dust in my eyes whenever I watch yet another great quality documentary video by whitelight about yet another franchise that I hold dear to my heart?...this was simply brilliant...The perspective I gained on these games has given me clarity towards feeling I've experienced playing them despite never been conscious enough to acknowledge said feelings at the time since I was so wrapped up in the fantasy as u already mentioned...I've no expectations for mirage...not because I don't want to have any, but rather I want to remember assasins creed with its flaws and its soul intact rather than wait for mirage to continue the desecration of AC's legacy as the last 3 have done...the simple fact is u could name those games anything but assasins creed...and no one would tell the difference 😔

"Why is this franchise so sickened by its own potential?" Leave it to Whitelight to brilliantly sum up the whole of Assassin's Creed in one simple question. The question I think about whenever I cry myself to sleep over what Assassin's Creed COULD have been.

You just put everything I've ever wanted to say about Assassin's Creed in one video. Thank you so much for making this

Can I just compliment you on your excellent ability to write a video essay? I don't know how long it takes you to write and perfect a script, but it's so clean and engaging. It's not rambly yet gets your thought across perfectly.

I'm glad you went into how so much of the assassin's creed parkour exists but was never really taught. I remember playing ac1 as a child, and the parkour was a cool automatic movement thing. All this depth, all this technique, they never freaking told us? It's like designing a manual car but putting the stick behind the chair and putting an automatic one in the convenient place for it, which one did they think players were going to discover? Did they see the critic and player reviews roll in talking about the great parkour, not realising almost everyone was autorunning and not engaging with any of the actual parkour gameplay?

My brother in Christ, you were so captivating I even watched the sponsor segment lol. As a subscriber who’s watched plenty of your videos and the Unity one at least 7 times by this point, this is my favourite video of yours I’ve ever seen. The clinical critique mixed with your spectacular wordsmithing, intelligent humour, hilarious sarcasm and deadpan, powerful hitting delivery is on marvellous display here. Further still, you’ve managed to outline the highs and lows of every movement system and their philosophies in superb detail and depth, as well as weaving commentary on the other gameplay systems and the Assassin’s Creed fantasy as a whole into the script seamlessly, whilst also reminding us why it is exactly we loved (and hated) Assassin’s Creed in the first place. There are so many layers to this video and you’ve hit every nail on the head without missing a beat. I take my hat off to you, sir. Bravo.

Your ending speech, paralleling the words of a man resigned to continuing the journey knowing full well no end is in sight and if one was it may never satisfy, so perfectly summed up what I could never articulate. Hit me where I live 😭 Bravo.

Bro I can’t put into words how thankful I am for the making of this video. Like the tingling but tense feeling I have all just because you put into words everything I’ve been feeling about AC for a while. I really really hope Ubisoft sees this video. The script writing in this video brings competition to Black Flag’s. So many quotables. Everything you said at the end of the video had be furiously clapping at the screen. It’s like you get me, it’s like you read my mind and we don’t even know each other. My goodness I’m just in absolue awe and shock from how great the level of mature criticism you demonstrated. Definitely one of the best videos I’ve watched this year. New subscriber.

1:12 this is why I love whitelight... Wicked in depth reviews, the SMOOTHEST references to pop culture that don't feel forced, and you have a soothing voice

You have graced us with your presence once again. Good to hear you Whitelight!!! Much love brother puts some light back in my life.

i knew i was eventually goingt o get around to watching this, but i want to commend you for your choice of soundtrack in the back. i am SO happy you didn`t just go with "the main theme" everytime.

This was outrageously good. Lots of channels have the production value and the opinions and the dedication, but the SCRIPT for this was unreal. Seriously fantastic writing, concise, so flavorful, made every point so beautifully, really can't gush enough.

No one does video essays with your level of style and gentle touch. Been rewatching a bunch of your old ones. It's too good🙏🥰

At this point, you should teach gameplay mechanics at universities. Hat down to you sir and your good work. Please keep up with your work human race needs you

This video was just amazingly written. You really did your research on this, and most youtubers out there do not. And also, what an amazing finish line mimicking the Ac Revelations trailer which is probably the best trailer of all ubisoft games!

This is such a well made video, both a good critique of AC's core mechanic and a killer script. Your final words at the end which matched Ezio's speech at the beginning of revelations actually got me emotional hoping this franchise can one day live up to it's vast potential. Well done man.

You’ve absolutely hit the nail on the head: everything you said has been mulling about in my mind whenever I think about this franchise. I so badly want to love these games, but every one falls short of the mark, whether by an inch or a mile. I don’t think I could pick out the pinnacle assassins creed game to represent the rest, as I don’t think there is one. Like you said, there are so many “if only”s with this series. If only they kept building on what they had instead of needlessly taking things away. If only they made smarter decisions as to how things were created, handled, and controlled. If only they took more time in development to turn a broken mess into a shining beacon. If only they made a game with AC1’s precision and innovation, AC2’s environmental variety and dedication to improvement, AC3’s flair and intensity, Unity’s animations and freedom, and Syndicate’s immersion in a setting. I so badly want to have hopes for Mirage. Advertising throws out such tantalizing promises, with “parkour like Unity” and “a return to form,” but I can’t help but feel like it’ll all just amount to a farce. We all saw what the return of the assassins and social stealth meant in Valhalla. Regardless, I’m choosing to remain cautiously optimistic. Just as you said, I want to find the perfect game for this series, and Mirage has a chance (however slim) of reaching towards that goal

You replicated the monologue of the assassin's creed revelations intro extremely well, representing the state of the game and what you think about it in the same tune as Ezio did about the state of the assassin's home and his ambitions.

This is the best video I've ever seen about this beloved franchise. You've just analised what is maybe the central mechanics that made everyone love this games so much with depht, and were able to point out the fundamental problems that are impregnated in the saga since unity until today. Great video man!

the last bit of the video, litteraly made me cry, i played every game, and had this feeling and didn't know how to put it into words, and you just did that beautifuly. Great video

that smooth segue/transition from the sponsor to ac revelations is insanely impressive to me, fair play with the writing and adding in a sponsored segment that doesn't feel forced and way more natural to the viewer

As an AC fan, this was a fever dream of a video. A 1 hour poem.

this is very well structured and easy to follow and felt like you were speaking from my soul, you characterize the feeling we all have as we get nearer to mirage so well

Whitelight is among my favorite youtubers out there, and I constantly rewatch his videos because of how good the way he tells things is. And darn, that "Are they still capable? Do they still deserve the chance?" Hits really hard, and definitely makes me think back to all the AC games I've played, and to how few of them I actually enjoyed. I really wish Ubisoft would just look back at their good games and inspire themselves from those again. I wish Ubisoft would even just listen to their community again.

AC3 has the best parkour animations of any game, being the most realistic. Afterwards, they just made everyone jump 50ft. Connor was super realistic.

Whitelight and Assassin's Creed, a match in heaven.

Clicked this video on a whim to have something to listen to while playing a game. I was immediately gripped by how strong your presentation is. This is a damn good video and earned an instant sub from me.

what an amazingly detailed, well written and well presented video! An hour went by like it was nothing

The ending really captured my feelings towards Assassin's Creed now

1:05:22 "Not because I am tired...: Oh my fucking god. This TINY detail represents the quality of your work as a whole. The careful craft present in your writing and the editing is both fascinating and demonstrative of your passion for the subject matter. Similarly, the cut at 1:05:48 "an illusion" right as Altair disappears. Idk how you do it. If it's all thought out ahead of time, or if you have these amazing ideas as you go, and don't fear the extra work of replacing old writing and editing choices to make them come to light, but either way, I'm so glad that you do. Such an amazing video, bravo!

It is a testament to this franchise's potential that every single fan of what the old games promised, of what Assassin's Creed could have been and what nothing else has truly offered in full since, understands every word in this video. This channel and its commentaries so often bring what we all know in our hearts to life with nearly unparalleled skill, thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and eloquence. So despite the length of the analyses of this channel, they feel like captivating poems. No word is dull, no stylized introduction nor ending is pretentious. Grandeur and investment is created, not borrowed from invisible sources that feel like alchemy or, at the worst of times on this platform, trickery. This video is the best example I have found after watching at least a dozen videos. An hour and change talking about parkour systems that most people sneer at or ignore, exploring what Ubisoft has never dared to explore with the polish and depth it needed. I do not have hope that Assassin's Creed will ever reach its potential. No franchise or game is ever too far gone, but in the hands of a company like Ubisoft which is so obstinate in all they do and in what they desire, Assassin's Creed edges on that precipice. But even if Mirage is the illusion of water in the desert, that, at least, is still a light of perhaps naive hope. As you so eloquently put it, "in high spirits, prepared for the worst." I've waxed poetic about this channel and video enough. Thank you for these videos. The calm, poetic analyses brings me joy and peace about, of all things, video games more than anything else. It is an achievement, one I hope only grows.

Incredible video! Absolutely stunning! With every single one of your videos I'm more convinced that you're among the best and most skilled writers and speakers on youtube! What a joy to watch! Thank you!

I appreciate you so much WL, there’s not a single moment on these videos that I don’t meet with a “omg I know” “holy shit I know right?” And “I’m glad there’s someone who can put all these things I know into such a sexy string of words” you verbalise literally everything I’ve ever struggled to explain to people who dislike unity, you script my mind like fucking Shakespeare. The utmost of my support and recognition is with you man honestly ❤

wake up babe, new whitelight video just dropped

As someone who loved 1, then played 4 several years later (and then 3, and eventually Origin, Odyssey, and Valhalla), thanks for the recap. People have recommended 2, and I now get it. Also, the pole-flip and downturn was mind-blowing.

Phenomenal video. I've been replaying the series and you captured a lot of how I've been feeling. Makes me want a Unity remaster, so they can hopefully refine the systems. I don't know what engine they use but I hope they can go back to it (since I would assume it changed in Origins and onward).

My favourite youtuber talking about the favourite element of some of my favourite games? Shoot this right into my veins. Edit: Great video. I do prefer the videos where you critique the mechanics of the games while following their narrative, but still, this one has a decent through-line: The missed potential of Assassin's Creed. As someone who loves the shit out of classic Creed games, the quote "Assassin's Creed never reached its full potential. It was always a franchise to be tolerated." hit really hard. It's true, this series doesn't have it's Arkham City or Far Cry 3; there is no quintessential AC game. The closest entries to that are Assassin's Creed 2 and Black Flag. I'd only recommend AC 2 for the parkour, Brotherhood only for the feel of the combat (if not the depth), Black Flag only for the naval element, and Unity only for the Stealth. There's no one game that I'd recommend for all of these elements together

as someone whos grown up doing a lot of parkour irl, ive always appreciated how games like ac and mirrors edge just get how fun it is to just climb around on stuff and open up your eyes on the limitless traversal options when you start doing parkour.

God your videos are written so well, it’s a joy to just listen to you talk. Just came from your far cry 6 video and I’ve never even touched those games and it’s still just wonderful to hear someone talk about something they love(d) so passionately

One of my favorite videos you’ve ever made. Full of interesting ideas, beautiful euphemisms, and dry humor with perfect dead pan delivery. It just sucks that this video is about the failures and it successes of my childhoods favorite franchise.

the revelation theme for the last bit is just perfect im in tears

This is the most based unity parkour take

I continue to be blown away by Whitelight's use of music timing and tone in his videos. It's always on point
