* CreatorBacklash: Dunkey is not fond of some of his earlier reviews, citing them as blowing surface-level stuff way out of proportion without really engaging with the game itself. Prominent examples of this include his old ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' review where he pans the game as a generic zombie story (he would later join the more-or-less-universal consensus that it's one of the best video game stories ever made) and ''especially'' his video on ''VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd'' where he essentially gives the game a 3 out of 5 because the climbing is boring in some sections. He would make in-depth rebuttal and follow-up videos for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VglCnmYMaSc both]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VglCnmYMaSc games]] pointing out his previously flawed logic and questioning what the heck he was even thinking, as well as heaping praise that he feels he denied both games onto them, especially for subtler things he originally missed.

** Some have criticized Dunkey for giving takes on traditional [=RPGs=] and games with Japanese storytelling, since he has publicly stated that he generally dislikes their various traits, but reviews them anyway. In particular, his review of ''Octopath Traveler'' received such backlash. His videos on ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'', in particular the ''Pikachu'' video, can be seen as caricatured exaggerations of Dunkey's criticisms of [=JRPGs=], as it reflects much of the criticism towards his points in the more serious ''Octopath'' video. In 2019, Dunkey also gave [[https://youtu.be/_tsFZ8F_qcY a mixed but overall positive review]] of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI''. In his "Best of 2019" video, he [[https://youtu.be/SzfmtGESBxw?t=437 lists several [=JRPGs=] he played that year]], most of which he enjoyed, and one of which (''{{VideoGame/Earthbound}}'') even made it onto the list. The aforementioned ''Dragon Quest XI'' would go on to be named his 3rd favorite game he played in 2021.
