Probably the best one so far I would say. They ask him some interesting questions, some follow ups to his responses in the FAQ video, and even poke him with recent drama.

Finally, it's been like 6+ months since last one I think!
Last one was State of Mind, which was released the day before Christmas.
Just got back home from a concert with a friend. We are both sitting with ice packs on our head and chin. Both of us are fans of Ross.
The guy might have a shitty upload schedule but sometimes he hits the jackpot with the upload dates.

So a game where nothing happens and with no real ending
Pedantry:
The DEFCON numbers work the other way around. Five is "pretty chill". One is "OMG we're all gonna die!", so the game's "Four - we're nearly at war" is wrong. Games and movies often get this wrong.
Conspiracy:
The butterfly insignia of the game's Illuminati has a striking resemblance to the Microsoft Network icon of the time. Hmmm.

After watching the video, the story seems pretty cool. It reminds me of the book Century Rain by Alastair Reynolds. It does not share the exact same plot, but it has a mysterious death that leads to layers of reality being peeled back, after the protagonist goes deeper into the “conspiracy”. Also, very sci-fi, that also has the theme of preservation and what is truly real.

From past videos I've always gotten the impression that he's pretty bad at games and is more interested in story/concepts rather than mechanics/gameplay.
Just glad to have another game dungeon after months of "let's save video games".
Game's a wet dream for everyone who loves world building. Great episode, and really interesting game.
Maybe it's one of those things she uses it to throw off people during interviews?

He's a storyfag, massive lack of skill for anything highly competitive or too involving
Doesn't have to be an esports of a crazy skill based game.
There's plenty of games that don't require crazy skills, or even that high end skills, but showcase interesting systems.
Like giants citizen kabuto, sacrifice, etc...
His better episodes are from adventure games. I like how he dwells into the world and makes witty remarks about fashion, architecture and stuff like that. It's even better when he just drops random conspiracy facts or some fun stories from his life. My point is that he doesn't need to play hard games to make entertaining episodes. The shooters he has covered are some of the most boring GD episodes.
Ross has also said multiple times that he doesn't mind playing games on the easiest difficulty if that means he's gonna finish them. Strong storyfag tendencies indeed.

Not sure I agree with that. His adventure games sometimes good, but he's also done good ones on games that have had mechanics/systems. Like his dungeon siege one I thought was pretty good, deus ex was damn good, outrun, killing time, conquest earth wasn't too bad, the division I liked, SiN was good, clans and hellgate london were damn good I thought, so was secret world, etc...
Yeah, all of those are great episodes. His Deus Ex videos are some of his best. I got to know Ross from his Dungeon Siege episode and if it wasn't good I for sure wasn't gonna watch GD for years now.
But the ones I replay the most are from the adventure games he covers - Veil of Darkness, A New Beginning, The Legend of Kyrandia videos, The Black Mirror and Daemonica too. Fahrenheit and Culpa Innata also fall in that list. His humour in some of those is very on point and so is his delivery. The games also give him good material to work with.

It's the other way round for me, dungeon siege, hellgate london, clans, deus ex, and baldies is my most replayed ones.
I've lived in the UK for a long while, but I'm not actually from UK, unless that's fine in your theory.
