Hey son, I love your content and your way of approaching games but pls rethink being sponsored by BetterHelp in future! What is done is done now but they are sketchy, their customer experience is terrible and they profit off how difficult it is to get access to therapy :(
As someone who suffers from depression and social anxiety for 30ish years, I found BetterHelp to be a very unprofessional "alternative". I think most people would be better off seeing the county free mental health professionals available. Even though I wouldn't recommend EITHER, at least the free one is free and not predatory.
yeah they are kinda like uber for therapists. Hiring "independent contractors" and then forcing them to work to the apps rules regardless of what's best for the client, or their own wellbeing. There are a bunch of vids on youtube by actual therapists talking about why it's bad. I recommend looking them up if you're ever tempted to try it
Therapy in general. Delete all your socials and spend an hour outside every day. You'll figure out more about yourself than the "therapist" ever could. Paying someone to listen is like paying someone to be your friend
@@some-repliesyou fundamentally misunderstand therapy if all you think it is is paying someone to listen to you. don’t give advice on things you have no clue about.
Better Health is a dangerous scam, and absolutely not a replacement for actual mental care. I don't think they can even legally advertise in my country. Do not use them, or sponsor them, and please, look into the people who you sponsor first. It's not like this is a secret. They have a horrible reputation. This is actually kind of awful, since people will probably believe you. You are messing around with people's mental health. Please take this seriously 🙏
I was told that they had already been bashed for being horrible and same youtubers who bashed them are now supporting them even though they haven’t changed 😰
@@UA-camstopsharingmyrealname like others have said, most therapists aren’t professional (one gay client tried to get help for their depression from being abandoned by family and got "therapist" who claim that they should stop being gay 🤢), and they make every therapist work 'til they burn for low salary (which makes it harder to be good therapist) - in short, they hurt both therapists and clients.
BetterHelp was fined almost 8 million dollars last year by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) after having to admit they shared customer health information to social media companies for the sake of advertising. Call out the UA-camrs you see taking sponsors from them. They got in very public trouble seven or so years ago for using unlicensed therapists and providing mediocre service that harmed their customers, which caused a huge controversy and made the myriad of UA-camrs they were sponsored with at the time to cut ties with them after they got exposed. This is a bad look man, and despite liking your content I'll have to live without it.
Your not his dad 😂. You ever thought about contracts? Better help has been useful to many people I know. Especially military people or those such as pilots. Not all of their counselors are trash. Maybe I was lucky
Please reconsider working with Better Help. You aren't doing your followers any favors. It's one thing to sell something that's a waste of time or money. That's not great, but we all have to make a living, and it won't REALLY hurt anyone. But Better Help capitalizes on people who are in a fragile situation, and you could really be screwing people up. I'm sure that isn't your intention. Just... listen to your other commenters. Do a little research. This is not a good company. I like your channel. I want to watch this video. But I thumbed it down and will be moving on.
I remember playing Daggerdale when it came out originally. I was so excited for it, I ended up buying it on Steam just a few months after it released- but sadly, this was still before refunds were an option on the platform. I played 3 hours of the game and felt so disappointed by the complete lack of flavor and energy that I didn't know what to do with myself. The sad part is, I bought the game nearly a month after Skyrim's release; riding the wave of cool high-fantasy sword and sorcery games, and the difference in the quality level between the two games was just absolutely crushing. On the bright side, to try to regain some form of enjoyment from gaming in general, I ended up playing an inhuman amount of CoD Black Ops 1, just a complete tonal shift. Doing that changed my perception of video games in general and made me appreciate the medium from more angles, ultimately leading to me being a far less biased and opinionated gamer set in my ways. I learned to enjoy multiple genres for what they are and got rid of the elitist attitude that "CoD was for fratboys and wasn't a real video game". So I guess, thank you Daggerdale, for sucking so thoroughly and being such a waste of my $30 that you completely changed my perception of video games for the rest of my life.
That's cool, I'm glad you had that experience. It's easy to get comfortable with your established tastes. I was all about rogue-likes and had the same opinion of CoD until I really gave it a chance and realized it can be incredibly fun. There are so many games that are overlooked, just waiting to played and appreciated. It's too bad that some people can't or won't experience them. Game on, friend.
Y'know, Mystery of the Druids might have been an unplayable mess, but my god was it investing in its batshit insanity. Shame their next game was such a wash.

Yay my son is making more bad review steam games. I’m so proud of you my boy and how much your channel grown. Keep up the good work and I might call you one day. Also possibly try most positive steam games.
I just love the idea of developers from some the biggest game studioes in the industry, tired of corporate meddling, leaving their jobs and banding together to make a licenced Dawn of the Dead iPhone game
not mad you took the sponsorship but Better Help is not the best place to get therapy. The reason its so cheap is that a lot of the therapists on there aren't the best. I did actually try better help at one point and from my understanding the process they use is more of a way to get people to talk than to actually offer advice. For example, if you bring up something is deeply bothering you they might just ask more questions to get you to talk more. This is something real therapists do, but therapists can also offer real advice. they can tell you when an idea you have could be bad (like lets say you have an unhealthy coping mechanism, or you're in the wrong about something). When I used better help I never really saw any of that sort of thing brought up. Maybe there are genuinely good therapists on there but it seems to be a huge grab bag. It sucks therapy costs a lot but finding a therapist that's credible can help a lot. Even though better help was "cheaper" it felt like I just paid someone to vent at when I could have just done that with a friend or something.
Came to this video expecting a vicious mockery of bad games and their developers, came away with fair, nuanced takes and a greater appreciation of the difficulty of creating videogames. I'm pleasantly surprised! Good job, Son! I'll be sure to follow more of your work! 😊😊😊
I love those videos! Always found even the most negatively reviewed Steam games still had some nice things in them. And I thoroughly enjoyed some mostly negative rated games.
In regards to Daggerdale, the video makes the complaint that RPGs give you the option to pick separate races and classes. But Daggerdale is an ARPG, one advertised for "hack and slash gameplay", and it was normal for those kinds of games to *not* give you that type of customization.
You have been able to choose any race + class mixture you wanted in Dungeons and Dragons since the 70's. Dungeons and Dragons is in the title so I really don't think it's unreasonable to expect the most basic part of character creation in a DnD game
@@thekestrel9290 Games that are set in the DnD universe do not have to use DnD mechanics. ARPGs have been class/race locked since the beginning of the genre as they are not meant to emulate tabletop role playing.
Hey son, I was wondering if you could do a retrospective of "The Longest Journey and Dreamfall" games. They might be dated compared to current games, but are some of my most fondest childhood memories. :) Thankyou. Proud of you. Love, Mom
24:59 Finally somebody talking about the Beast Quest game, I grew up with the book series the game's based on. Just like the game the books are actually quite mediocre because they follow the same structure everytime but I still really enjoyed them as a kid.
I know other people have probably mentioned it but it bears repeating: I don't recommend accepting sponsorships from Better Help, they have a bad history that they've sort of become infamous for. It's unfortunate that you've gone this long without addressing it despite many people telling you about it in the comments.
@@YankeeRebel1348 better help's bad history has been going on for years and was widely covered back when it was first exposed. I would also hope that for something as serious as mental health services someone would do their research before signing a contract for a sponsorship.
Then give the man your money, sponsorships are vital for long format/low volume content creators like him. If it puts money in his pocket and helps keep the channel going good for him, I doubt this channel ticks a ton of the boxes required to get top tier ad share from youtube itself. 90% of the video sponsors on this platform are shit and/or predatory in their marketing and practices, which is why they have to shell out insane money to creators, but it helps small channels get by. Be an adult, do your research on any company you're purchasing a product or service from and stop blaming people for trying to get some kind of financial reward for the dozens of hours of work that go into a video like this.
@@alexf836how you gone tell us be an adult and do our research and then defend him in the same breath. We get it, small channel limited advertisers. Doesn't make kt better tho. This why I respect ppl with more integrity. Also social media is a gamble so don't quit your day job until you know you can make a living with a good conscience. The man can do whatever he wants but he's going to have comments on that.
My favorite son, delving through the pits of steam to find some of the worst and/or weirdest games and bringing them to light. For better and worse, these titles should not be forgotten
Loop Hero is my favorite of the "idle" games. Your character moves automatically on a loop and fights automatically. It's the task is to place stuff on the map and balance the game.
You lost me after “see a therapist” Maybe that stuff is easy for people with mild mental health problems, but with severe ones, just saying “learn how to cook and also have the energy to do so and the time and the energy for the cleanup, pull energy out of the air to work out and clean.” Like people with severe mental health problems WANT to do those things. Their mental health makes it near impossible. Even more so if they have physical health problems as well
@@starcrysis23 therapy can help man, i had a ewing sarcoma and it helped me pull through even though i couldnt walk more than a mile. also i was diagnosed with depression and actively had suicidal thoughts for a bit.
Not only is Merge Hero garbage, it is straight up using pumped in free Unity store assets. The sprite used in the game is a free asset offered by Sven Thole on the Unity asset store. It is pretty much meant for practice and learning sprite animation in Unity.
You know, i've watched a few of your videos, enjoyed them and subscribed, but after seeing you promote a company that is actually *harmful* to people, and ignoring all the backlash from viewers pointing it out, i think i'm going to reconsider, since it's clear you don't care about your audience.
That last game Hazen looks a lot like Warcraft III, I bet that's what the main inspiration for the style and theme was. So much so, that I get the feeling I'm looking at a WC3 mod. WC3 even had a bit of ARPG-like little sections, that wouldn't have been good as a full game, but gave it some nice variety.
I am amazed at some of the games that STEAM even allows on the site. It has no standards. Unfinished games that are still on the site MANY years after being first listed. Games with reviews so negative it makes your computer rebel. Why?
Bad sponsor. My recommendation to anyone seeking therapy is to delete social media for a month. The bar of “licensed therapists” in general is extremely low.
I played Daggerdale as a kid back on the 360. Being a kid, I had a lot of fun with its jankiness and beat it. It had good memories for me, but I can understand why it would be considered a dumpster fire. 😅
Man, I'd totally forgotten that I used to have '15 Days' in my Steam library. I don't think I made it too far through it before deleting it. I haven't played 'The Mystery of the Druids' but I have played another of their games - 'The Moment of Silence', and I remember absolutely hating that one by the end. It might be the reason why I was so quick to uninstall '15 Days' when I got to it. I wonder if I got those two in a bundle or something...
Oh boy. As a developer, I love watching these and learn from "mistakes" of others! But this episode really made me nervous about our own ARPG. Hope it's not going to turn into one of those "everything is goofy" titles 😆
Im really liking your bad steam game analysis videos. You don't just show janky games and mock them...theres plenty of content like that. But theres not alot of content like yours. Well done man. Its ashame how many games were lost forever when the 3ds and wiiU eahops were closed down. There are a few indie game series that are well worth looking into but they are just not really possible to access easily anymore unless you just happen to find someone with the games downloaded.
Beast Quest at least looks like they put some effort into it. It actually looks playable hahaha, and those cutscenes I thought were cute. You can tell whoever is behind Beast Quest actually has the chops to create video games!!
I played colorless life briefly and never finished it. After watching this video, it made me think of the dialogue in a whole new light. If all of this depression is happening inside the main characters head, wouldn't make sense that there may be other underlying issues inside their own head, that make the speech and dialogue so jumbled?
On the subject of idles, have you played...i think its called the machine? Then theres armory and machine, and a sequel? None of which i can find even apk for now.
I just cannot imagine, with the thousands of amazing games made in human history, that literally anyone would play a new game made by a nobody developer with all bad reviews. Of course you've got your unique reasons, but who is this human spending $2 on a game with 12 negative reviews and 2 good reviews?
I tried Better help once. Pretty sure the literal $320 a month they wanted added more stress and depression than it was worth. Thats basically a car payment, ill learn the coping skills.
I admit, just hearing the same voice actors as in Druids made me laugh a bit. If you haven't watched Mandalore Gamings streams about that game, it's hours of hilarious entertainment.
bro i played dagger dale the week it came out. ive been saying ever since its the worst game ive ever played... the fact it made it to your list is amazing lol
Wait, didn't Reggie Fils-Aime once say that Torus Games were well known for their _good_ ports? I mean, I know a dev can't make gems all the time, but still, Reggie wouldn't lie... would he?
Hey, do yourself a favour and do some research on some of your sponsors next time Can't help it now, but please distance yourself from Better Health in the future Needless to say, I'd rather entrust my medical problems to a sack of rice than Better Health. It's a scam and a half
Son....a betterhelp sponsorship? Seriously? I thought I had taught you better. Please do some research into your sponsors before you accept them, I know we all gotta make some mullah but there's definitely a right way and a wrong way of going about things.

anybody who reads this, please dont fall for betterhelp. See a therapist, eat more healthily, work out, clean your room
You lost me after “see a therapist”
Maybe that stuff is easy for people with mild mental health problems, but with severe ones, just saying “learn how to cook and also have the energy to do so and the time and the energy for the cleanup, pull energy out of the air to work out and clean.”
Like people with severe mental health problems WANT to do those things. Their mental health makes it near impossible. Even more so if they have physical health problems as well
@@starcrysis23 therapy can help man, i had a ewing sarcoma and it helped me pull through even though i couldnt walk more than a mile. also i was diagnosed with depression and actively had suicidal thoughts for a bit.
Not only is Merge Hero garbage, it is straight up using pumped in free Unity store assets. The sprite used in the game is a free asset offered by Sven Thole on the Unity asset store. It is pretty much meant for practice and learning sprite animation in Unity.
Safe House is a genuinely interesting idea.
My favorite part of the video was seeing all the Berserk books behind you
Incredible how a top 10 worst games on steam video I watched a few months back spiraled into me digging into cobra and others for literally hours
You know, i've watched a few of your videos, enjoyed them and subscribed, but after seeing you promote a company that is actually *harmful* to people, and ignoring all the backlash from viewers pointing it out, i think i'm going to reconsider, since it's clear you don't care about your audience.
That last game Hazen looks a lot like Warcraft III, I bet that's what the main inspiration for the style and theme was.
So much so, that I get the feeling I'm looking at a WC3 mod.
WC3 even had a bit of ARPG-like little sections, that wouldn't have been good as a full game, but gave it some nice variety.
In a future video you should do the oposite. Good games with no sucess/players
You had me at "Dwarven problems" lol!
I won't allow my son talk shit about Mistery of the Druids!
Fun fact: a dale is a valley, iirc
Good hold over vid for the boys, what's after the Wibber 3?
I am amazed at some of the games that STEAM even allows on the site. It has no standards. Unfinished games that are still on the site MANY years after being first listed. Games with reviews so negative it makes your computer rebel. Why?
Bad sponsor. My recommendation to anyone seeking therapy is to delete social media for a month. The bar of “licensed therapists” in general is extremely low.
I played Daggerdale as a kid back on the 360. Being a kid, I had a lot of fun with its jankiness and beat it. It had good memories for me, but I can understand why it would be considered a dumpster fire. 😅
Man, I'd totally forgotten that I used to have '15 Days' in my Steam library. I don't think I made it too far through it before deleting it.
I haven't played 'The Mystery of the Druids' but I have played another of their games - 'The Moment of Silence', and I remember absolutely hating that one by the end. It might be the reason why I was so quick to uninstall '15 Days' when I got to it. I wonder if I got those two in a bundle or something...
Oh boy. As a developer, I love watching these and learn from "mistakes" of others! But this episode really made me nervous about our own ARPG. Hope it's not going to turn into one of those "everything is goofy" titles 😆
Nothing wrong with goofy. Worked for Psychostick. Always thought a company should hire a good comedian to head the story board writing.
@@murderedcarrot9684 True, if it's intentionally goofy it can be good! 😁
Just found this channel via the alan wake/remedy retrospective. This guy SOUNDS like alan wake to me and i cant unhear it
Im really liking your bad steam game analysis videos. You don't just show janky games and mock them...theres plenty of content like that. But theres not alot of content like yours. Well done man. Its ashame how many games were lost forever when the 3ds and wiiU eahops were closed down. There are a few indie game series that are well worth looking into but they are just not really possible to access easily anymore unless you just happen to find someone with the games downloaded.
I had a total of 10 ads on this video, this is ridiculous
and that cringy opening. yikes
Dude Berserk, House of Leaves, and Blood Meridian all together is a stacked at bookshelf, genuinely three of my favorite works ever
Beast Quest at least looks like they put some effort into it. It actually looks playable hahaha, and those cutscenes I thought were cute. You can tell whoever is behind Beast Quest actually has the chops to create video games!!
The number of beserk deluxe books you have makes me jealous
Bettter help is not therapists they are pyscologysts sorry to say there is videos here on youtube exposing them
Psychologists are therapists. Psychiatrists are not therapists, and they only prescribe medications.
Son, you're allowed to take a break, buddy 😭
I played colorless life briefly and never finished it. After watching this video, it made me think of the dialogue in a whole new light. If all of this depression is happening inside the main characters head, wouldn't make sense that there may be other underlying issues inside their own head, that make the speech and dialogue so jumbled?
Shovelware has become a problem on pretty much every system now and i hate it
Lol what problems do you have with it. Just dont get it
I just wanna clear something up in the opening. If these games catered to the lowest common denominator they'd actually have good reviews. :v
betterhelp sponsorship? really dude?
Colorless Life WOULD have been better if it had the Max Payne theme like you added XD
Colorless Life is why you should never use MTL to translate for commercial products.
On the subject of idles, have you played...i think its called the machine? Then theres armory and machine, and a sequel? None of which i can find even apk for now.
In a sea of UA-camrs and Content creators your page came across my feed. Love it, Great content, and a very pleasant voice.
Hey are u still doing the retrospectives ? Like the content Either way
"Here we're only given 4 options which is extremely limited."
Hey, still 3 more options than, say, Gothic or the Witcher.
I just cannot imagine, with the thousands of amazing games made in human history, that literally anyone would play a new game made by a nobody developer with all bad reviews. Of course you've got your unique reasons, but who is this human spending $2 on a game with 12 negative reviews and 2 good reviews?
Huh. While Daggerdale wasn't a good game at all, It's hardly one of the worst on Steam...not by a long shot.
I tried Better help once. Pretty sure the literal $320 a month they wanted added more stress and depression than it was worth. Thats basically a car payment, ill learn the coping skills.
Hey son.....did you steal my blunt ?...
Daggerdale reminds me of the dark alliance games on ps2/Xbox....obv plays like cack..
I admit, just hearing the same voice actors as in Druids made me laugh a bit. If you haven't watched Mandalore Gamings streams about that game, it's hours of hilarious entertainment.
bro i played dagger dale the week it came out. ive been saying ever since its the worst game ive ever played... the fact it made it to your list is amazing lol
The son has done well again, and it pleases the father.
Sponsored by betterhelp? Can’t watch, tastes too bad.
It sounds like "skyrim dialogue run through ai" except built into the base game lol
I could be wrong but this isn't your playlist for that video series.
i dont have a son but ur my favorite one
Was hoping Overwatch might be covered on this video, but that's just too low of a low to be mentioned.
My schools esports team roped me into playing support for Overwatch 2 because I used to play Overwatch before it got ruined
Hey son, good to see you again. 👋
Awesome vid. I'd love to see some more yakuza content especially Ishiin
Almost 100% certain the guy on the right at 17:35 is the player character Halligan's voice actor from Mystery of The Druids.
Wait, didn't Reggie Fils-Aime once say that Torus Games were well known for their _good_ ports?
I mean, I know a dev can't make gems all the time, but still, Reggie wouldn't lie... would he?
I think the timestamps are wrong
Accepting a BetterHelp sponsorship when it was known they aren't what they say they are by that point.
Very serious red flag here.
Hey, do yourself a favour and do some research on some of your sponsors next time
Can't help it now, but please distance yourself from Better Health in the future
Needless to say, I'd rather entrust my medical problems to a sack of rice than Better Health. It's a scam and a half
Hazen looks like a Poor attempt at a Dungeon Siege clone.
Seeing an ad for therapy, from a guy that has the entire hardcover berzerk manga behind him is probably the best thing ive seen today
I four minutes i got exposed to a dangerous and immoral scam, and nothing else. Work on your values as well as on narration.
I guess that safehouse game needed some precise inputs and any bugged choices would completely break immersion...
Son....a betterhelp sponsorship? Seriously? I thought I had taught you better. Please do some research into your sponsors before you accept them, I know we all gotta make some mullah but there's definitely a right way and a wrong way of going about things.
Steam and the Mobile game market has a lot in common: lots of trash trying to make money
Betterhelp sponsorship .... yikes
Yourfavoriteson should call his audience something like dad or mom to fit the son vibe I guess but that sounds “weird”
Well done, Son. Dad.
New ray of sonshines brightens my night over here.
I keep thInking damnation is going to end up on here and it never does
Charities rob from the poor and give to the upper management.
