Some also enjoy seeing him tear into a genre they dislike as well, which only furthers the debate. His fandom remains divided on whether he should review these games knowing his distaste for their mechanics colors how much he enjoys these games, or if he is fine reviewing them because of the possibility of him revealing he actually really likes them (as was the case with Persona 5 and Earthbound). He has always been up front about hating aspects like turn-based combat, cliche anime story-lines, and "anime-noise" grunting & exclamations characters will do to fill gaps in a conversation. Whenever Dunkey reviews a traditional RPG, or a game with Japanese storytelling and game mechanics, he will rarely if ever give the game a good score.In Dunkey's case, it needed its own page.Played with strangely and hilariously in Best Video Game Music.He would go on to name it his seventh favorite game he played in 2021. He later made a video revisiting the game, in which he admits he had fun on follow-up playthroughs, and gives the game a more even-handed critique. He received backlash for his withering review of Death Stranding."Discussing Last of Us 2 with Youtube Comments" largely consists of rebuttals and Take That, Critics! responses to various YouTube comments, but he also addresses controversial points and acknowledges some criticisms of the game as valid (such as characters being Made of Iron and other contrivances).The aforementioned Dragon Quest XI would go on to be named his 3rd favorite game he played in 2021. In his "Best of 2019" video, he lists several JRPGs he played that year, most of which he enjoyed, and one of which ( Earthbound) even made it onto the list. In 2019, Dunkey also gave a mixed but overall positive review of Dragon Quest XI. His videos on Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, in particular the Pikachu video, can be seen as caricatured exaggerations of Dunkey's criticisms of JRPGs, as it reflects much of the criticism towards his points in the more serious Octopath video. In particular, his review of Octopath Traveler received such backlash. Some have criticized Dunkey for giving takes on traditional RPGs and games with Japanese storytelling, since he has publicly stated that he generally dislikes their various traits, but reviews them anyway.
Ever since his review of Kingdom Hearts III, Dunkey highlights Nomura's involvement with the games he reviews, implying or outright lambasting what he views are nonsensical storytelling from Nomura's end. Acceptable Targets: Tetsuya Nomura has not been in Dunkey's good graces, to put it lightly.
