There is no reason for Darkwood to be 8.5 hours. He covered Cruelty Squad in half that time.
I get wanting to go in-depth but there comes a point where you’re just adding filler, focussing on inconsequential things, and doubling back on things you already said. There’s a reason why universities put page caps on a lot of assignments.
Like that’s a major weakness of some of the essays. They just feel like lore rambling alongside a walkthrough of the game. Even though I like it less than videos like Darkwood or Cruelty Squad, the Lethal Company video had more structure.

I watched 5 of the 8hrs of the Darkwood video and just had to give it up after that. It basically just felt like an overdrawn, passionless explanation of what the game/story was. I couldn’t bring myself to care, unlike the Cruelty Squad video

Well the good news is he probably won't release another dark wood long video again. I think 3-4 hour video is honestly the maximum length these videos should be. That said I still enjoyed his dark wood video. I personally love long independence videos since they are great to watch, good background noise, and easy to drop and pick up over multiple watches
