Amazon's 'Secret Level': A Mixed Bag of Gaming and Storytelling

Amazon's Secret Level, an anthology of animated shorts based on various video games, fails to captivate audiences with its lack of originality and engaging storytelling. Despite featuring a diverse range of gaming properties, the series suffers from a homogenous, hyperrealistic style that makes episodes indistinguishable and dull.
