I've been avoiding most of these reviews because of all the spoiler alerts (I like surprises!).

Any negative reviews yet?
I'd take one of the four wooden clubs I was carrying and just bash open doors with it.

I'd click FIREBALL much more on New Year's Eve

What I found most interesting about this viddy was
SpoilerShow
a short scene of squid-like tentacles that emerge out of floor grids. Looks like this is some sort of stationary enemy that serves as more of a trap than a regular mob. Also: Mindflayers - We have them, too!
Hi, as mentioned by juho I am from Voodoo Extreme. :)

I wouldn't say that my video contains heavy spoilers, I made sure to not show any puzzle solutions at all. The worst you'll see is me failing to solve a couple puzzles, aside from that it's mostly combat. There are a variety of creature types though, which was done in response to others at other forums complaining that there only seemed to be a small number of creatures to fight.

I did beat the game, loved it. I think you guys will all be really happy with it when you get your copy on the 11th!

Welcome aboard, and thanks for the insight :D .

. About the spoilers, your vid shows, inter alia, quite a selection of enemies, mostly familiar ones, but also a few that apparently aren't encountered until later on in the game (e.g.
SpoilerShow
the Mind Flayers or the squid-like tentacles
) . Personally I don't mind at all, but I think it deserved the spoiler warning nontheless ;) .

Sven of Tales of Lumin talks about his upcoming videos (let's play/playthrough type) of LoG. He's a funny guy and half of the time he just talks to his dog and rambles this and that :) . Anyways, he seems to have liked the game and he'll be releasing the videos at the launch date.
