As a low budget independent film made by 1st time filmmakers its actually pretty good for what it is. The plot is basically a throwback to those cross country adventure films from the 80s, with the best comparison probably being Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
The plot is well paced and the script mostly works. The comedy is hit or miss, but mostly hits with laughs throughout. The cinematography is shot well. The special effects are better then most independent films. The weakest aspect is probably the acting, but in no way is it bad or hinders the movie.
All in all its a good movie. I think most fans of The Game Chasers will really enjoy it. In reality even those that have never heard of them should get some enjoyment from it. If you temper your expectations and know what you are getting into its well worth the ride.

This movie was produced with less money than what Hollywood's big budget studios charge for less than a minute of footage. It's almost (if not) a superhuman effort, and Billy's wearing the main cape. A true heart-driven flick that keeps you entertained all throughout, and leaves you with something to think about. The real gift of this movie is that it concentrates well on its tone, and delivery is carried out with great timing; It could only be done by love and knowledge of the craft. Sure, theres minor areas of slight improvements due to it be a smaller production, but it shines bright within the cosmos of movies.
I'm not sure what happened with the production, writing or acting. The sound is even weird. That said, it's hard to believe they didn't intentionally try to make such a bad movie. Everything that's bad is further amplified by the run time. I heard the amount raised for this was north of 300k. Where did all that money go? This was a really hard movie to find and review as well. I think they are trying to bury it, because it is that bad. It is very bad. The high praise reviews make no sense to me as this is objectively one of the worst, if not the worst movie I have ever seen. I won't get into spoilers as there isn't much of anything interesting to spoil. The only redeeming quality might be for college film students as a cautionary tale on what not to do.
This movie is exactly what it's supposed to be, dumb, charming, nostalgic and funny, what more could you ask for from some of the silliest game loving maniacs on YouTube. Do yourself a favor and watch this flick, then bust out you NES and remember what it was like to have pure joy in your hands.
This movie was not good, pure and simple. I realize these guys are youtubers and not trained actors but the story was horrible. It reminded me of Clerks, if Clerks wasn't funny. I mean, they blatantly stole a joke from Dumb & Dumber in the first 30 min and it only got worse. Even for a low budget crowd funded movie this was just bad 👎
