In a playthrough video, the presenter usually improvizes based on what the game gives them on the day the video is shot.

The heavily scripted nature of an AGR means it will only show a representative sample of the game. So an AGR will give you a high-level view of design and strategy, while most playthroughs are content with going through the turn sequence mechanically.

How does an AGR compare to a playthrough video ? An important difference is that an AGR is planned and thought through from beginning to end. A hybrid playthrough/review with a very tame subjective stance A strategy guide that doesn’t require any prior knowledge of the rules An introduction to advanced gameplay concepts On average though, an AGR literally takes months of daily play before it is written. It tries to give you insight into the mental process of a player after more than at least ten plays. An Advanced Gameplay Review (AGR) is all about the gameplay.
