Extra Punctuation

Extra Punctuation began as a written companion to Zero Punctuation before becoming its own video series. Created by Yahtzee Croshaw, the show expanded on ideas and themes that couldn’t fit into the main weekly reviews. The series ended in 2023 when Croshaw departed The Escapist. Revisit The Escapist’s Extra Punctuation archive.

This week on Extra Punctuation, Yahtzee wonders where all stealth games have gone to.
