The coolest part about games, in my opinion, is how entangled they are in the world. What I mean by this is, I hope, fairly simple: games provide us with springboards and points of departure to talk about other forms of media, other ways of relating to ourselves and each other, that (hopefully) deepen our understanding of the world. The video essays in this roundup are stellar examples of this. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Welcome back to The Month in Videogame Vlogging, a feature we’re bringing back to look at some of the most interesting videos about games made during the preceding month. We’ve been away for a while, so we’re going to start fresh.
Since this is our first post in a hot minute, we’re bound not to see the entire breadth and scope of great Videoessays über Videospiele that came out. If you’re like, “hey you missed this great video by X creator,” please feel free to join our Discord (link here) and make your suggestions known!
