Yet another instance of an "analysis" of a game series that gives up halfway through. He begins by being as objective as he reasonably can about Ape Escape 1, and it works. I even learned a few things about it that I never thought about before
Then his autism kicks in and he starts ranting about US vs. UK dubs and PAL vs. NTSC screens. The section for Ape Escape 2 is just him insisting that it's inferior to the first game without any in-depth critique so he can move on as soon as possible. Then he reaches Ape Escape 3, glosses over the entire thing in about 5 minutes without any real critiques, and then goes back to the weird TV rant before clunkily ending the video.

Almost every "analysis" on a game is like this now. You're lulled in with the promise of a critical eye, only to have the rug pulled out from you. Summary in place of specificity, opinions treated as facts and a flowery script to hide the lazy structure. The comments reinforce this behavior, because ultimately they don't care about the video itself and just want background noise about something they played when they were younger. These channels desperately need editors, but then I suppose that would mean splitting up the Patreon revenue.

It's not that the videos are necessarily bad or poorly produced, it's how often they insist upon themselves as being "analysis" when they're anything but. At some point this stuff just becomes clickbait in a prettier shell.

Was Ape Escape 3 considered good? That's the only one I played and I don't remember it

Like what? I'm not watching the video.

I'd consider it the best but I'm sure some here would fight me saying 1 is. It's just a great improvement in many ways. The quick select system for gadgets, the more structured boss pacing, as opposed to Ape1 being back loaded, Mesal Gear, the ability to repopulate the levels with apes once you capture them all.

it is. 3, however, is more of a sidegrade.

stop watching spergs talking about videogames, it's embarrassingly dumb

Every video essay in general, not just for games. This is a direct result of the meaningless filler essays zoomers were forced to create en masse for their high school English classes; it buck broke them so much that they now make and watch vacuous summary drivel for fun.
