Dunkey’s best known for video reviews of the biggest new games that lean into comedic riffs and visual gags. His negative reviews roasting blockbuster releases tend to get the most attention. A 2022 review of the unwieldy open world game Sonic Frontiers went especially hard, culminating in a Metacritic review bombing campaign where fans and detractors alike waged a meme war against one another in dunkey’s name. But he’s also been equally gushing about games he loves, which tends to include a lot of Nintendo’s first-party lineup. His review of 2017's Super Mario Odyssey called it the “ultimate collectathon that is in equal parts comedic and wondrous.”

When he launched his publishing label with Leah Gastrow, his wife, last year, he said he wanted to use his years of experience tastemaking and explaining why some games were bad and others were good to help locate hidden gems and bring them to the rest of the world. Animal Well, which began its marketing campaign on the PlayStation Blog, will be the first but probably not the last game released by his studio. Nintendo Direct viewers should probably keep an eye out for him in the future.
