Hype Factor: A Fantasy Critic Podcast
@hypefactor.bsky.social
Hype Factor is a Fantasy Critic podcast for Fantasy Critic enthusiasts who just can’t get enough of talking about Fantasy Critic! Hosted by @jon32.bsky.social and @marcusoneill79.bsky.social (No affiliation with http://fantasycritic.games)
Reviews are a big part of a game's launch and we all use them, but the details of how they happen aren't always clear. On a new Kit & Krysta Podcast, we're sharing everything we've learned from our career in games on how video game reviews actually work! youtu.be/1pKYlCn3z1M
Come listen to me tell you about the mistakes I made in the past so you also don't make the same ones!
