MatPat brings his intellect, creativity, and enthusiasm to bring video game logic into the real world, and crafts an entertaining series in the process!

One of the strongest aspects of the show would be its structure, as host and personality MatPat carefully guides the viewer by first establishing the video game logic that is being applied, followed by the singular challenge that he and his guest(s) would have to solve together. This makes episodes easy to follow, and makes the pace feel like a crescendo, with the more fun and exciting parts of the episodes being in the middle towards the end.

The production quality is also impressive, as the personality is then fully immersed into the experience, and so is the viewer.

Without a doubt, the strongest and most immersive episode would be the one inspired from "Five Nights at Freddy's" and "Five Nights at Candy's", which delivered on the tone and tension from start to finish, creating a scenario that caged the viewers into the experiences of the players of the game.

However, I felt that most of the series were okay at best. For me, the actual game portion of the episodes felt either way too short or way too shallow, with most making me think "Wait, that was it?" when the credits started rolling.

Despite having better structure and more seamless pace than fellow YouTube series "Scare PewDiePie", I felt that the PewDiePie series was able to hit way higher highs compared to "MatPat's Game Lab", with each moment leading into the next and delivering well on the excitement. In the end, "Scare PewDiePie" was able to better capture the feel of playing a video game, with much more challenges to explore and overcome, as opposed to having a singular challenge for a group of people to work against. PewDiePie's series had more twists, so to speak, while Game Lab came out as okay.

To conclude, "MatPat's Game Lab" is a passable watch for any person interested in video game culture!

"Scare PewDiePie" honestly showed a lot of potential as a horror series, but mostly felt like a misfire.

The lead personality PewDiePie has strong stage presence and charisma, which makes it easy for the viewers to appreciate him. Even then, he still remains very human onscreen, which makes him relatable as a person. Every time he has to solve a challenge or overcome a scary obstacle, it is hard not to root for the man. He truly carried the series.

The guests like Markiplier and MatPat are well-utilized as well, which is a bonus.

However, the flaws of the show are more from the quality and game design overall.

First and foremost, the fear factor is very hit-or-miss. Some of the "horror houses" or "escape room" locations, like the alien spaceship, haunted hotel, and spooky arcade, are AWESOME, while others look like they came straight out of a low-budget carnival, which makes the tone of the show very inconsistent. At times, the escape rooms are very amateur-looking, and other times, they are professional-looking. The same can be said for the horror actors, who are either very convincing as scary threats, or are like Trick-or-Treating toddlers trying to jumpscare an adult.

The game design is poor. PewDiePie is not given much consequences for making mistakes, and is given too many tries despite the fact that he is a gamer who should understand horror games well by that point. The line between "horror house" and "escape room" is blurred for better and for worse, but mostly for worse. Having more thought-provoking puzzles rather than straightforward puzzles would have benefited the enjoyability of the series, and gave PewDiePie true challenges to overcome.

Overall, this series has potential, and still deserves a BroFist for the effort!

"Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" is a rewatchable, accessible, memorable, entertaining, light-hearted, and delightfully wholesome series that caters well to a young audience, but can also be a solid watch for adults that want to revisit the adventures of Scooby-Doo and Mystery Incorporated!

Pretty much every aspect of the show is iconic and recognizable, from the design, quirks, and personalities of the main characters, to the general structure of the episodes, to the animation style for that era, to the writing of the humor that is specific to each of the characters, and more.

The only complaint I can say would be the repetitiveness of some of the episodes, but that is personal preference.

So where is Scooby-Doo? In our memories that promote nostalgia!
