honestly the AVGN...up until his newest stuff. the AVGN is honestly the perfect archetype of a reviewer because he's a character based off of stereotypes about gamers back then, and also how they can be online now. he's a hilarious overexaggeration of gamers taken to the extreme and the way he just words things is genuinely hilarious to me. the dick tracy review is one of his best because you can tell that a lot of the thoughts about the game are taken from james rolfe's experience, only put through AVGN as a character and then turned into this genuinely fucking funny review where theres some legitimate criticism thrown at the game.
i feel like game reviewers on youtube had a decline for a while because most of them just tried being an angry reviewer without understanding that the AVGN was a character, not the real person playing him. People made some seriously bad faith criticism for the past 15 years in an attempt to emulate what james rolfe created with a shitty camcorder and capture cards and its telling that the genre of reviewers imo is so dead now, its all just chill thoughts with fair crit now.
