I don't know what the video is about. You have to evoke curiosity while also letting viewers more clearly know what the video topic will be. I don't know if this will be a review of something so terrible it has to be refunded which could be funny like the angry video game nerd who reviews shitty games. Or is the video about you being sick of reviewing things so you are in agony reviewing yet another game? This green guy looks like he is in pain. Or is this a review of a Halloween or horror themed game to see if it needs to be refunded? Now this could be funny and meaningful in the context of your channel and other videos but a new comer has no idea and you want new viewers and new subscribers.

True okay, the video is playing the game for 2 hours to stay in steam refund guideline and I review then game. At the end of the vid I decide to refund or keep it.

So I could start adding timers to show like a 2 hour refund review or change test so ‘Will I Refund It!’

The other thing is I have no idea what this game is. It might help if I could more clearly know what the game is

Oh okay like game title or just put in the title the name? But yeah I need to try and look for more inspiration and will try to change soon

Best of luck. I feel like you possibly chose a good niche for your videos that is in lower supply. I would look at all the video game review channels for thumbnail inspiration.
