The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III’s snarky script feels more like a Let’s Play — in a good way

Where would YouTubers be without snark?

The popular currency of new media millionaires and upstart channels alike tends to be a sardonic kind of wit. No matter the game, be it the latest big budget shooter or a barely crowdfunded platformer, if the beaming personality in the box on the top left of the screen isn’t wryly bringing up every possible nitpick, the video might as well be a walkthrough. The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III, the finale of the action role-playing game franchise from NeocoreGames, isn’t going to wait for someone to play it for the wry witticisms to start. The game’s snarky script preempts most of the obvious quips on the action role-playing game formula, pop culture, and its world at large, making the game feel like it’s almost making a Let’s Play video by itself.
