VGHS certainly doesn't do anything to blow your mind, but the characters are fun and easy to get invested in, and the absurdity of it all makes the humor work. Given the meager budget, it's quite impressive the reasonably convincing visuals they put on, even if some of the explanation and execution of how it works requires a little suspension of disbelief. The premise of a high school and world centered around gaming is an entertaining one, and the script is both self-aware enough and carries a serious enough plot to be enjoyable. S3E4 was crazy and completely out of left field, but even if I think it's a bit too extreme a juxtaposition to fully work, I appreciate the darker, real emotions of grief it deals with. It's satisfying and fun, even if you know things will unravel just right in the end.
