Dan2D Review - Invidious

Dan2D Review

👋 Welcome to Dan's 2D Review, the ultimate channel for in-depth analysis and critique of the world's best 2D video games! I'm Dan, and I dive deep into the genres that demand precision, art, and narrative mastery.

🔍 What You'll Find Here:

Deep-Dive Reviews: Highly detailed video essays breaking down the game design, mechanics, and replay value of 2D classics and new releases.

Boss Design Analysis: Specialized critiques on the best boss battles in Metroidvanias, Platformers, and Soulslikes (like Hollow Knight, Cuphead, and Celeste).

Pixel Art & Storytelling: Explorations of how 2D games use atmosphere, sound design, and environmental lore to tell powerful stories.

If you love games that challenge you—from difficult indie gems to retro platforming masterpieces—and you want a breakdown that goes beyond the basic review, you've found your home.

New video essays drop every Saturday!

Don't forget to subscribe and hit the bell for the best 2D game content on YouTube!
