Has anyone watched the Secret Level shorts released so far?
Unreal Tournament was a huge nostalgia hit for me and I think the episode was a great interpretation of it. I highly recommend for anyone who played.
The Warhammer 40k episode was also great though I don’t have the same kind of investment in the games or media there. The others seemed fairly good for what they are but there’s only so much that can fit in a 5-15 minute piece.
Amazon Prime Video link for anyone interested.
First few were great. Just finished PAC Man and it was a bit weird, but the series has been pretty cool overall so far.
The only games I’ve played of those mentioned are pacman and unreal. Not unreal tournament, Unreal. I knew about all the games or course just as reading about them. They were all great shorts, each for different reasons. Warhammer, unreal and armored core were just wow. Pacman so creepy in the interpretation of the story. D&dd was actually a bit “meh”. Nonetheless, great show. I’ll probably watch some episodes again.
I think the only game I don’t have much experience with was Unreal Tournament, but that episode was maybe the 3rd or 4th best for me.
Overall, Secret Level has been fine. There are some good moments, but it hasn’t been hitting the highs that Love Death Robots did for me.
As a massive Armored Core fan, I love that we got an episode in this and that the mech fight looked awesome. Some of the dialogue didn’t seem entirely “In canon” for AC6.
Warhammer was fun, I almost wish they had gone more of the Astartes short film with it and had almost no dialogue. Still, I think it was the highlight of the first release.
