9:35He praises PS5 performance and combat, but criticizes frequent parrying and the absence of enemy respawns.
12:35Donnie Yen's creative-consultant role and optional boss fight bring the martial-arts connection into focus.

ENDYMIONtv collected nearly two million views across its catalog, the largest weekly total among its nearby gaming-commentary peers. Eight uploads kept the conversation moving, from Phantom Blade Zero to Bethesda, Call of Duty and Sony.

"Phantom Blade Zero is a Problem" drew roughly 339,000 views, making it the most-watched new upload. The title's problem is for the wider industry, in the host's telling: he contrasts the game's reported production costs and commercial performance with expensive Western releases. Those comparisons are his argument, but the video also makes room for the experience of actually playing.

He praises the PS5 performance, weapon variety and combat, while finding fault with the frequency of parries and the lack of enemy respawns. Donnie Yen appears in behind-the-scenes footage as a creative consultant, and the host points out his optional boss fight. One viewer connects the martial-arts influence to childhood afternoons watching Shaw Brothers films, a more personal thread amid the industry debate.

The newer Bethesda and Sony commentaries now carry the strongest daily momentum, with the Call of Duty upload next. "Elder Scrolls VI Won't Save Bethesda" also had a bigger opening day than the Phantom Blade Zero video, even though it has not yet accumulated as many views.

Subscribers grew modestly over the week, while daily viewing is currently below ENDYMIONtv's usual pace. Nearby, GameLinked is enjoying an unusually busy spell and Larry Bundy Jr is quieter than usual. For ENDYMIONtv, the week's range is familiar: enthusiasm for an action game sits right beside skepticism about the companies making the next ones.

What viewers say

This is my Saturday Afternoon as a kid growing up Kung-fu Theater. The Shaw Brothers entertained us for decades and to see their influence on video games is just amazing.
