I loved Love Death and Robots, it was a showcase of shorts from creators that really wanted to make those. There was art, creative output.Secret Level is someone seeing Love Death and Robots and saying give me that, but for my existing intellectual property . It was made to order and the order was a bunch of ads and promo for certain IPs, barely a celebration of gaming and it s history. It has no soul.Just to cover it right away, animation was great in all, nothing to add there, problem lies in concept itself and narrative execution.Now, there is title diversity but games selection is weird. Some episodes were actually fun - New World, for a game made by Amazon in an Amazon show, of all things, fronted by Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was silly and fun. Armored Core with Keanu Reeves, SIFU and WH40K were all fine.Pac-Man was something completely different but something was slightly off and it didn t work for me. Crossfire was just waste of time. Do people care about Unreal Tournament in 2024 Exodus, which is a game that is not even out yet, so no one knows anything about it anyway. Concord was DOA as a game, so that episode was whatever.Spelunky, DnD, MegaMan and Outer Worlds were ok.Then there is Honor of Kings - a mobile gatcha cancer game from China, that even China tried to curb it s success, but failed. That episode was kinda ok on surface, but also about a cancer game from hell.And, the worst thing, at the very end, last episode was a literal PlaySation ad with Kevin Hart voicing some robot. What can you say to that Whole format from Love Death and Robots worked because there was passion and art about those shorts. This is just same format but used to make ads basically.Maybe there will be Season 2, maybe they ll learn from this season and improve on it, but - although some shorts worked fine, overall concept is maybe flawed and this will never work like LDR did.Can I recommend it Short answer - no. Long answer - maybe if you want to see some proof of concept of famous video games and how would they work as CGI movie/series, then maybe watch this. Otherwise, nothing to see here.
