Fun is the Future: Mastering Gamification
Whilst this is on gamification, rather than game design, and is now over ten years old, it covers a lot of stuff which is relevant for game design, and it’s still without doubt my favourite talk:
Breath of the Wild fixed stamina, it’s perfect now, we did it
There’s a video I saw that this reminded me of by
@Afterthaughts about BotW’s stamina wheel. Pretty entertaining and interesting, but I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about.
I Can’t Hear You: Considering Deaf Gamers
This talk about deaf people accessibility by Karen Stevens is the one which make me understand the complexity of accessibility settings. How deep you can go and how much is important considering accessibility in early development.

Something that stood out to me while playing RDR2, was how incredibly the design/animation around the horses and sync between them and you/your character.
Conclusions
